João and I met in December 2015 at a local wine bar. As I looked on the list, I saw one of my favorite wines from Italy. João also a fan, expressed how much he loved Italian wine and the country itself in which I quickly exclaimed me too! Endless conversation about travel and life was just the beginning and our relationship has been full of adventure ever since. We have hiked the national parks of Zion and Bryce, traveled to many different countries including Portugal, Spain, his home Brazil, Switzerland and Italy. We have moved to two different apartments in NYC and welcomed the best dog in the whole wide world, Barolo. We can't wait to see what future adventures await and we look forward to celebrating our special days with friends both near and far. XOXO, Chelsea and João
