We're Getting Married! ¡Nos Casamos!

Andreia and Jose Luis met the modern way: by swiping right on Tinder (swoon!) in 2016. Their first date was a bit of a disaster— they originally planned to meet at a bar, but it was closed for a private party. They walked across, trying to find another bar, but it was the holiday season, and most places were reserved. They were about to give up until they landed at Rick's house, a cocktail bar. They talked about growing up in Peru and living in the Bay Area, among many other things they shared in common. The conversation went on all night, sparks flew and there was an instant connection. Andreia was getting ready to leave for a long vacation in Peru, but the time apart only intensified the connection. In those five years since they met, they lived in 2 different states and five apartments through a graduate program and a pandemic, but after all, they continued strong. A few of Andreia and Jose Luis's favorite memories from their time together: Going to the World Cup 2018, traveling, driving across country twice, and adopting Coco. Andreia and Jose Luis's proposal was intimate. Jose Luis booked a cabin in a remote area of Virginia for a relaxing getaway away from the city to disconnect from their busy lifestyle. He waited for the right moment, which presented itself while enjoying a bonfire and looking at the stars. Jose Luis got down on one knee, and the rest is history. Indeed Virginia is for Lovers!!! We're so excited for you to join us as we say "I do" at our destination wedding in October 2022. See you soon!
