If you think this is a love-at-first-sight story, it is not. It all began in what used to be the trendiest bar in La Placita—a place where neon signs flickered, rum-chata and fireball shots flowed like rivers, and the music was always just a touch too loud. Yep, you guessed it: De La Vida. Kyara had just come home from a hectic evening of babysitting, trying to negotiate bedtime stories and snack negotiations with a trio of hyperactive kids. Meanwhile, across the bar, there was Julián, fresh from a marathon session of studying for his final law school exams. Our introduction was anything but graceful. Julián in his haste to order a much-needed drink, he accidentally stumbled into Kyara, nearly causing a cascade of shot glasses and cocktail napkins. From that clumsy yet oddly endearing moment, we bonded over stories of babysitting misadventures from Kyara and the intensity of law school exams and finishing the New York City Marathon. Kyara pretended to care about law school, constantly making fun of Julian for thinking that running a marathon was a “big deal”, while Julian couldn't resist teasing Kyara about her supposed enthusiasm for legal jargon. After that night, we didn’t talk for a month or so. Yet, fate seemed to enjoy our awkward beginning. Every time we bumped into each other afterward- at a mutual friend's party, at Old San Juan or Christmas parties—our conversations picked up where they left off, effortlessly weaving through laughter and shared stories. These chance encounters eventually led to deliberate meetings, then dates, and well, you know the rest of the story. What started as a chaotic introduction in a noisy bar became the beginning of a love story filled with unexpected twists, undeniable chemistry, and plenty of laughter along the way. So, no, it wasn't love at first sight. It was more like a collision of mismatched circumstances and genuine laughter in a bar that soon became the backdrop to our unfolding love story. Fast forward six years- we are thrilled to get married and hope you can join us for the festivities!
