The First Encounter

We met through a mutual friend who insisted on setting us up. The night we met, we ended up leaving the group we were with to catch a show, just the two of us. Fast forward two years later, and Tony surprised Cristina with a proposal on their front porch.

In Preparation

We agreed that we wanted to be easy going throughout the wedding planning process. We both knew the day was going to be perfect no matter what because we were blessed to marry one another in front of our family and friends.

The Big Day

We chose The Cordelle because it had an intimate look and feel. The outdoor/indoor space was versatile, which was important since we hosted both our ceremony and reception at the venue.

We had planned to have our ceremony outdoors, which we both understood meant it would likely rain (that’s our luck). Our day was perfectly rainy, including a downpour at the scheduled time of our ceremony, but we wouldn’t have had it any other way. The entire night was filled with family, close friends, great food and drinks, and music. We closed out the night to Prince’s “Let’s go crazy”, which was a fun way to begin our new journey together.

The Retreat

We chose to take a short trip to Miami right after our wedding so we could decompress in one of our favorite cities. A few months after the wedding we celebrated in the British Virgin Island, which we chose so we could enjoy the ocean.
