From day one we were an irresistible match of dreams, we met at the Palisades farmers market where Attilio was selling wine next door with a friendly smile. Attilio selected the perfect wine to pair with Christina’s homemade chocolates, making her smile, and so we began a journey of delicious creations and fun adventures, in a partnership of growth and love. We are both committed to our dreams and staying true to ourselves, and when our stars aligned to each other, we knew it was destiny. We shared our values of family, friendship, and love. “I proposed first, because I knew he was the one, and over time he said yes! Both of us are unconventional, so we decided to make it “official” with a beautiful handmade silver rose ring we found together at a flea market in Eastern Market. The rose is a special symbol to me of beauty, dualities of love, and the cycle of life, and since Attilio’s family name Larosa,means the rose literally, it was the perfect symbol for us. On September 25, the new moon in Libra, a powerful day of new beginnings and balance, Attilio surprised me by taking me to where we had our first date Un Je Ne Seis Quoi Bakery and we took our pastries to get married at my favorite rock creek river, where I spent many years going there to find peace and pray for myself and my family.” Christina We would love to invite you all to celebrate our beautiful marriage with a Halloween themed costume party at our favorite Italian restaurant Il Canale.
