Picture this: It’s 2019, and the lively buzz of a bottomless Sunday brunch fills the air at the iconic Park on 14th Street in Washington, DC. The sun is shining, music is setting the perfect vibe, and glasses are clinking as laughter echoes through the space. Amid the fun and festivities, two strangers—Byronaé and Larry—strike up a conversation. What starts as a chance encounter quickly feels like something more, and before they part ways, they exchange numbers. What followed was nothing short of magical. Texts turned into a first date at Fogo de Chão, where hours of lively conversation and shared laughter flowed as smoothly as their night. The evening even ended with an impromptu dance session, sealing the connection between them. Realizing they had something special, Byronaé and Larry challenged themselves to go on ten dates in one month—before Byronaé left for graduate school. Every moment spent together deepened their bond and proved this was only the beginning of their story. By November 2, 2019, they made it official, becoming a couple. Over the next few years, their love grew even stronger, weathering a pandemic and long-distance challenges, proving time and again that they were meant to be. Fast forward to January 2024, and Larry had a grand plan in mind. To celebrate Byronaé’s birthday, he whisked her away to the beautiful beaches of San Juan, Puerto Rico. Little did she know, the “birthday photo shoot” he had planned was actually the moment he would propose. With the perfect backdrop and months of preparation behind him, Larry asked the love of his life to marry him. Byronaé, of course, said YES! Now, as they prepare to begin this next exciting chapter, Byronaé and Larry are thrilled to share their joy with all of you. They are so grateful for your love and support and can’t wait to celebrate their wedding together on May 23, 2025! Join them on their #JourneyToNoutcha!
