On a night in New York City, we met by chance. Had it not been for Lalo's cousin, Fabian, and my best friend, Laura; we may not have ever happened because we went out for Lalo's birthday celebration. There was an instant chemistry between us. We talked and danced all night and realized this was something rare.

There was a downside, though. Lalo lived in Buffalo where he works and I lived back home in Westchester. After spending a few days together, and before Lalo went back to Buffalo, we decided to make it work. Late night phone calls, endless text messages, and frequent flyer miles became our lifeline. Still, it all felt effortless. After two years I moved to Buffalo and less than a year later we were engaged. 

It seems natural to travel for our wedding. And so, on June 21st, 2014 we will be getting married. Exactly five years since my first trip to Buffalo. Exactly five years since we fell in love.

We look forward to sharing this magical day with all of our loved ones.
