When Katrina and I first started talking, her sense of humor amazed me. Her desire to eat butter whole, by itself, was a bit weird but I thought funny, and she shared the same interest of watching the Yankees play. I figured hey, she’s fun. Our first date was at 1958 Cuban Cuisine in Westfield, NJ and of course my nervous self didn’t want her to think I was boring, so I just talked non-stop the whole time. She was cute and watched me talk, clearly knowing I was nervous but let me continue blabbering. I thought she wouldn’t be interested after that however, she continued chatting with me almost every day. I was hooked to her immediately because she was practically my other half, thinking the same thoughts, saying the same things (jinx!), and I knew being connected in such a way was special. We have had many adventures trying new restaurants and bars, binge watching TV, travelling the U.S. together, and eventually traveling halfway across the world for our friends’ weddings in Poland and the Philippines. Now, we are taking a leap over the pond to travel to beautiful Portugal for our own wedding with our amazing friends, family, and Julian Jr.! Katrina is my best friend and soulmate, soon-to-be mama to our baby boy, and my soon-to-be wife, and we cannot wait until we celebrate this special day with you. Please check back here after receiving your formal invitation for more information. We hope you can make it – Salamat and Obrigado! With much love, Katrina and Julian.
