From the bride... "We met for the first time at a summer concert organized by a mutual friend. During the concert, we didn’t speak much, but at the end, I took a picture and he was in it. He cleverly asked me to add him on Facebook so he could be tagged in the picture. Andres tried to ask me out a few times using Facebook messaging, but for over a year I did not accept any of his invitations. During that time we both played the game "Candy Crush" on our phone. I always kept a higher score than him in the game. Until finally in May of 2015, he passed me in the rankings and saw an opportunity to reach out to me yet again. Since all his forward attempts had been rejected, this time he decided to ask me out for a friendly “Brunch” on a Sunday morning. I hesitantly accepted since I happened to be free that weekend after a dance tour. Andres still refers to that brunch as a date, but I insist that it was just a casual meeting (since I had no expectations and no interest in him at the time). But at brunch, time went by so fast. That the brunch became a coffee, which turned into drinks at a nearby bar. We still remember the Amaretti cocktail that we had. Neither of us had suspected that it was going to turn into such an experience in which we felt such a strong connection with each other. Little did we know that that was the day in which we would fall in love and how far that brunch would take us!"

From the bride... "Alix and I met in the summer of 2011. We were roommates in an off-campus house in Menlo Park, CA after I graduated from Stanford undergraduate and Alix from Stanford business school. We were a summer fling converted into a 6-year relationship withstanding several periods of long-distance NYC to SF, Boston to SF, Boston together and NYC to Boston. Now we will finally be settling down together in NYC."
