Welcome to our wedding website!

From their first gaze to their first kiss — it truly was love at first sight. Two aspiring lawyers, they shared the same ambitions and dreams. Without question, they were inseparable. Ellen and Julio met at their university in 2016. On June 30, 2016, Julio took Ellen out on their fourth date to what would be a local, recurring favorite of theirs: Spritz Pizzeria in Coral Gables. She wore a lavish, stunning navy dress; he wore a sharp, curious red and white polka-dot bowtie. The scene was perfect. The lights were dim, the music was soft, the drinks were delightful, the food was delicious. After indulging in what was the best pasta, they took a stroll around Regatta Park in Coco Walk. Nearing a bench, they sat down, looked at the lights, and felt the bay breeze. At the moment, Julio looked in Ellen’s eyes and asked her to be his girlfriend. She said yes, and they kissed. Then came the day of December 22, 2018. That morning, it seemed like an ordinary morning to Ellen. To Julio, that day was anything but ordinary — he was filled with nerves and adrenaline because he’d be asking the girl of his dreams to marry him. After she dolled up from a surprise date to the spa that same day, Ellen was curious as to what was next. Julio took her to the Night Garden at Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden. It was there where Julio found the right spot. He asked a kind stranger to hold his phone and record what was about to unfold; he held Ellen’s hand; he kneeled; he stared into her gorgeous chocolate eyes; told her he fell in love with her the way we fall asleep: “slowly, and then all at once”; he took out a rose gold ring encrusted with diamonds; he asked her to marry him. She tearfully said yes. The rest is history.
