Carlos and Karina first met at the start of their freshman year of high school, exchanging messages for hours on end through the now prehistoric AOL Instant Messenger. They quickly became smitten with one another, Karina for Carlos’ braces and buzz cut, Carlos for Karina’s punctuality and concise storytelling abilities. After courting Karina for the next several months, Carlos asked her out at the St. Peter’s Prep semi-formal dance in 2005. The couple grew inseparable, as teenage love blossomed into college weekend trips between Villanova and Lehigh and eventually through two cross-country trips moving to Los Angeles and back. After 15 (brief) years, Carlos (finally) popped the big question on October 25, 2020, in Hoboken in front of friends, family, and their pup, Theo. They can’t wait to celebrate their Big Day with you all!
