Every love story has its own rhythm, ours just happened to take the scenic route. We first met at a close friend's 25th birthday party, and from the beginning, there was an undeniable connection. But as life often does, it pulled us in different directions. Over the years, we each took our own journeys, growing, learning, building the lives we thought we wanted. There were months, and even years, where we drifted apart. But somehow, no matter how far we went, life had a quiet way of leading us back to each other. There were moments along the way, conversations, quick hellos, friendly gatherings, and memories that lingered, reminding us that our story wasn’t over yet, and we weren’t the only ones who realized that our friends played a major role in building up our confidence to try again. Everything changed the night we had dinner at Blue Ox. Angelina had just moved back to Massachusetts, and as we sat across the table from each other, something just clicked. The conversation was effortless, the laughter familiar, and for the first time in a long time, it felt like everything we’d been searching for was sitting right in front of us. That night, we both knew. This wasn’t just a rekindled connection, it was the beginning of our forever. We made a choice: to be all in, to love fully, and to build the kind of life we always hoped for, together. Once we recommitted to each other, we began to enjoy each other even more. From dates in Boston, to vacations in DC, D.R, and Barbados, the joy and love continued to grow! We moved in together and next thing we knew we were welcoming one of our greatest joys, our first son, into the world. Vladimir proposed a few months after, and we knew we didn’t want to wait to get married. We were ready to commit to each other fully, knowing without a doubt that this was the love we had both been waiting for. We had an intimate ceremony on July 22, 2024, with a few loved ones in Boston, MA. Now, we’re looking forward to sharing our love with all of you in April 2026, restating our vows, honoring our journey, and embracing the future ahead with the people who mean the most to us. This is our love story, not perfect, but real, layered with time, growth, and the unwavering pull of two people who were always meant to find their way back. We can’t wait to celebrate together!
