Fernando and I met almost 14 years ago when he was the DJ at my cousin’s graduation party. He told me that he did something out of his comfort zone (being that he is somewhat of a shy guy) when he asked me for my phone number. I thought this was a bold move but seeing as he was a sweet guy and had the courage to ask, I obliged. I was certain I would never hear from him again. Boy was I wrong! Apparently I would be seeing quite a bit of him, he became good friends with my cousin, we walked together as maid of honor and best man at her wedding, saw each other every time I would go visit, and eventually our friendship became closer and closer. For many years Fernando was a confidant and we would spend hours on the phone, when we would talk, it seemed as if we never ran out of things to say! Being that our friendship was so close and we had acquired some of the same “framily” things remained as they were. Until one day...things changed and it seemed that it was just the right time for us. Now I truly get to say that I am marrying my best friend.

Q: How did you first meet? A: See our Story! Q: Who made the first move? How? A: It sort of just happened for the both of us! The timing was right. Q: What's your favorite activity together? A: We love to help others get closer to Jehovah God by helping them learn more about the Bible. Something that helps us have a fulfilling life, happy relationship, and hope for the future. Also, we love to go to concerts, discovering new music and loving the classics! We also love spending time with our friends and family. (Hey! that’s you guys!) Q: Where are you going on your honeymoon? A: Opa! We are going to Santorini, Greece! Q: Who's going to take out the trash? A: Whoever happens to be closer to the trash :) (we all know that somehow Fernando will most likely always be closer to the trash 😬) Q: What's the best meal you have eaten together? A: Our favorite go-to-meal: Spinach raviolis from Casa Di Napoli, soo good!! (also our first real date spot) Q: What was your most memorable date? A: We went to a wedding in Paris together at a fancy hotel and we were dressed to the nines, midway through the reception Fernando asked if I wanted to go out on the balcony. We danced under the stars with the Eiffel Tower as a backdrop and fireworks in the background. It was amazing!! Q: What's the most memorable trip you have taken together? A: Well, that would have to be Europe, we loved traveling in Spain and can’t wait to go back. Also, we got engaged in Paris so that kinda takes the cake!
