Priscilla and Tim met on December 29th, 2015 in a sertanejo dance club called Shed in Santa Catarina (near Pri’s hometown). Tim and his brother Brian were visiting college friends days before New Years, deciding to go out that night, when an unexpecting morena (brunette) came walking down the boardwalk with our mutual friend Juliana. Not knowing much Portuguese, but knowing he had to introduce himself, Tim reached his hand over the queue line saying “Oi meu nome é Tim”. After going inside the club, Tim asked Pri to dance, robbing a kiss shortly after. Fireworks flew, and at that moment, they both knew they would marry one day. They didn’t know how, but they told everyone around them anyway. Indeed, a spontaneous act and living in the moment. After the club, they shared an infamous late night hot dog and hours of conversation as the sun rose above the sea’s horizon. What a night they would never forget!

Surprise sunset helicopter ride over New York City during the first warm day of spring. Tim decided to test Priscilla’s fear of heights, and once she overcame this feeling, he surprised her again with a lifetime commitment to marry her. No one is certain if she said “Maybe! or Baby!” at that moment, but the moment could not have been more perfect. Afterwards, they enjoyed a lovely Portuguese dinner and toasted their champagne glasses to their future together.

Never taking for granted time together, complete patience with each other, ultimate trust in one another, optimism for their future, living spontaneous and in the moment together, and being a supportive partner who encourages each other to follow their heart and dreams.
