We're getting married!

Antonia first saw Gabriel at Cape Cod on the soccer field. Cooper Union's annual summer retreat for the sports teams was on and between volleyball practices, she was photographing the teams. Upon noticing Gabriel she had to ask her friends.. who was this cute soccer guy, what hadn't she seen him around school and how could she meet him? There was flirting, parties in the east village, a very late night, and a friendship began... but the stars weren't quite aligned yet. Let's fast forward to 2020. Antonia has just finished her MFA in Detroit, and Gabriel is in Charlotte working in Engineering. Gabriel reaches out and they reconnect over messages talking about life, art, family, big dreams and the global pandemic that is in full swing. They agree, if they are ever in the same city Gabriel will take Antonia out on a proper date. But a few months and many messages and hours of phone calls later he's in his Volvo on his way to Detroit to spend the weekend with her. He arrives late night and sitting on the back porch of the house they already are quickly falling in love. Long distance!? Gabriel and Antonia start dating, going back and forth between Charlotte and Detroit, and even meeting in-between. May 2021. Gabriel drives Antonia (+Kenny cat!) across the country when she moves to Los Angeles. Antonia's only there a few months before they decide to trade in the long facetime calls for a life together in Los Angeles. New Year's 2022. Antonia, Gabriel, Sadie dog, and Kenny cat are united in Topanga and our little family is filled with so much love! April 2024 at our beautiful home in Woodland Hills, Gabriel asks Antonia to marry him. With a yes and many happy tears, we are here! Engaged and so happy to invite you to join us to celebrate our love and marriage on July 5th, 2025. C.U. there friends <3 All our love, Antonia and Gabriel
