Albert & Vanessa first met through mutual friends in June of 2019. Vanessa was visiting from Dallas, Texas and had one too many drinks the night before. We’ll save you the gory details, but lets just say Vanessa’s hangover was not a forgiving one. Albert, being the gentleman that he his, nursed Vanessa back to health that day with a leisurely boat ride down the intercoastal. While Vanessa’s stomach was still churning, Albert’s stomach was starting to get butterflies, and not the hangover kind! Ever since their first day together, the rest was history! The first year of their relationship was spent apart, but Vanessa traveled to Florida at least twice a month to spend much needed quality time with Albert & his daughter Alanni. After racking up more airline miles than they could count, the couple decided it was time to take the next step. Just shy of their one year anniversary, Vanessa made the big move to Davie, FL! The two have been inseparable ever since! Albert & Vanessa love traveling, but especially, make a point to travel to Colorado at least three times a year to go snowboarding. From the jungles of Mexico to the white sandy beaches of Hawai’i… Colorado has always held a special place in their hearts. They are so excited to share the beauty of Colorado with their loved ones on their special day!
Albert proposed to Vanessa on the peak of Mount Haleakala, a volcano that forms one of the highest peaks on the Maui Island (10,023 feet to be exact)! At sunset, Albert said one final “I love you” before dropping to one knee and asking Vanessa for her hand in marriage!
