We swiped right! That’s right, a Tinder love story. A week after endless texting and bonding over our love of “The Office”, we officially met in person at Uncle Julio’s for our first date. We were inseparable since that day and have already grown our family. We adopted our dog Diego in the fall of 2019, had our daughter Arielle in 2020 and the grand finale, Teddy in 2022!
The night before Mother’s Day, we had a nice dinner celebration in D.C. for our friend Michelle’s birthday. Helder took the dressed up occasion as the perfect opportunity to pop the question. I had been impatiently waiting for this moment but felt super surprised at the timing. Of course I was ecstatic and immediately said yes! We originally planned to have a longer engagement but got very excited with the idea of a fall wedding, the season we met in five years prior.
