Our love story began in 2010 at the quaint Canisius College in Buffalo, NY, where life was carefree and full of possibilities. Despite coming from opposite corners of the world, fate brought us together at this small Jesuit university. Niall's fascination with Cold War spy stories led him to join the Russian club that Elena had started. Elena helped Niall with his Russian homework, and in return, being a gentleman, he helped her with history papers. And the rest is history. Our relationship has had its fair share of ups and downs as we've tackled the rollercoaster of life together for the past 12 years. But our love never wavered! We've been on quite the adventure, moving around for work like nomads. Niall rocks it as a software engineer, while Elena works as a sales and customer success director. In 2019, Niall proposed in Moscow, in front of the castle of Catherine the Great. After a long wait, we’re thrilled to finally tie the knot. We can't wait to celebrate with our friends and family in Barcelona. We chose to celebrate our wedding in Spain because it holds a special place in our hearts. In 2014, it marked the first time we traveled to Europe together. Niall had the opportunity to study abroad in Asturias. When Elena visited, they had the fortune of experiencing the beautiful country and culture together. Spain became a destination of significance for our relationship. Choosing Barcelona as our wedding destination allows us to honor those cherished moments and create new ones surrounded by friends and family.
