In April of 2016 Chris accepted a two week camera operating job that took him to Playa del Carmen, Mexico. When one evening after work he met Nelly on the touristic street of 5th avenue. While they ate at a restaurant and took a long walk on the beach under a full moon Nelly struggled to speak English and Chris struggled to speak Spanish. Despite those communication limitations there was a spark and warmth they saw in each other and visited one another two more times over the next four days before Chris flew back to his home in New York City. But Chris's heart never left Mexico. Over the next two years Chris and Nelly talked, texted and traveled to each other's homes in Mexico and the USA. All those sacrifices of a long distance relationship culminated in 2018 when Chris decided to move thousands of miles to start the next chapter of his life in Mexico. This relationship has required all kinds of patience and sacrifice since the beginning and It is only fitting and deserving that their path has led to marriage and committing the rest of their lives to one another.
