OUR STORY
We were chatting friends for a few years before finally meeting in person on February 9, 2023, at Margartaville in Times Square. That evening, we went to a Brooklyn Nets Game and after, our first dinner date was at a taco truck outside (still the best tacos we've ever had!) We spent the rest of the weekend together, going to a comedy show, watching the Super Bowl, and Cesar taught Demi how to snowboard at Shawnee Mountain. The day after Demi flew home, Cesar asked to make the relationship official which happened to be Valentine's Day!
We spent a year traveling together and meeting each other's families, back and forth from New York to Bermuda and visiting Mexico, London, Italy and attending a music festival in Belgium! The time apart in between trips became more and more difficult. Exactly a year after meeting, on February 9th, 2024, Cesar made a big sacrifice and moved to Bermuda. A year of living together made us realize that this was it! On New Year's Eve, Cesar proposed.
We are so grateful for the eternal support from our families and to Sam and Cheryl Moniz for making our dream wedding possible. We are excited to spend the weekend with all of you, some, we will be meeting for the first time, and some, finally getting to see after many years. All we know is, this is going to be an incredible time for us and the begining of many more to come!
