Our Summer Start in Vermont, Leading to Forever

The summer of 2014 in Stowe, Vermont.

Priscila had just moved into the friendly "Brook House", excited for a new beginning. Then, just a couple of days later, the house filled up with a lively group from Croatia, and that’s how we first met! Honestly, we both have to laugh at how random it was. Priscila didn't know much about Croatia, and Alojz was curious about his new friend from Mexico. But even with two totally different backgrounds, the connection was instant and undeniable. We had no idea we were kicking off an incredible eleven-year journey that would bring our two cultures together forever. Our relationship has been our biggest adventure. We’ve been lucky enough to travel all over the world, exploring and making amazing memories together. We truly grew up side-by-side! Now, our greatest chapter is here in Reno. We are so happy to be building our life and watching our sweet daughter, Marifer, grow. She is the best part of our little Mexican-Croatian family! From that perfect summer meeting in Vermont to the full, happy life we share today—it’s all led us here. We can’t wait to celebrate the story of our love with you!
