In the digital realm of 2016, Maria and Rob crossed paths on Bumble in San Francisco. After a few Connect 4 games, they realized their competitive and playful spirits were a perfect match for each other. Still, it wasn't the right time for them to start a relationship. Rob's wanderlust was pulling him to lands far far away and Maria was enjoying her bustling life in San Francisco. Even though they were far apart they stayed in touch and made frequent visits from NYC to Cambodia to Hong Kong. In all their conversations and trips they found solace and excitement in each other's company. Their bond grew stronger with every hurdle they faced, proving that distance was no match for their love. Through it all, their love endured, fueled by their shared sense of adventure and unwavering commitment to each other. Fast forward to 2023, standing at the majestic Cliffs of Moher in their newfound home of Ireland, Robert asked Maria to embark on the greatest escapade of all: a life together. This adventure will officially commence on March 22, 2025, in Oaxaca, Mexico, surrounded by their loved ones from every stage of their lives. We hope you join us!
