Our Story
Antonio and Patricia met in the summer of 2012 at the quinceañera of the sister of Antonio's friend and now-groomsman, Cristian. They spent part of the night dancing in a big circle with friends, and by the end of the celebration, Antonio had asked Patricia if she wanted to join everyone at an after-party. Patricia, who was there with her family, wasn’t allowed to go.
In the days that followed, they connected on Facebook and started talking. Soon, they began seeing each other around their high school campus. Casual hangouts became more frequent, lasted longer, and eventually turned into spending time together outside of school.
On November 6, 2012, Antonio gave Patricia her first kiss, and they officially began dating. What started as a high school relationship became a partnership that has now lasted nearly 14 years.
Over the years, they grew up together, eventually moved to a new city, built a home together, and have now lived together for four years. In October 2025, on the very first day of a trip to Japan, Antonio proposed to Patricia at Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden in Tokyo.
Now, nearly 14 years after that quinceañera brought them together, Antonio and Patricia are getting married. Their wedding is not only a celebration of their future but also of the family and friends who have been part of their story along the way.
