Can you believe our love story started as a blind date?  We were introduced by the Mother of the Bride, Ms. Teresa.  At the time, Max and Ms. Teresa worked together.  She began playing cupid from the very beginning.  She was smitten by his charm and well manners. Arteresa took a bit more convincing since she was vehemently opposed to a long-distance relationship and Max resided in Chicago. The next time Max was in town for training, Ms. Teresa set up a date for the three of them to meet for drinks. Which conveniently Ms. Teresa was too “tired” to join them. Reluctantly, Arteresa joined Max despite not really wanting to go. After having a few margaritas, good conversation and lots of laughs, Max got up the courage to ask Arteresa out on a second date, a third and a fourth. They knew at that moment it could be more than just a first blind date. From Tequila Jacks to Catalina to Costa Rica and everywhere in between their one constant has always been their love and admiration that they share for one another. On November 13, 2019, we welcomed our beautiful baby girl, Mia to join our union. Never did we imagine that one blind date would turn into a lifetime of happiness and joy.
