We matched on Hinge in August 2019—an ice breaker about hip hop kicked things off, and our first date was at neighborhood bar Baby Jane on August 23rd. (Fun fact: Chelsea was sober that night, and we both happened to know the manager, making for an even more memorable first meeting.)
By our second date, we bonded over Miami Spice dinners and a shared love of food—though Chelsea quickly learned that if you tell Hiram he can have the last bite of dessert, he'll take it. It wasn't until the third date, an hours-long Sunday afternoon that effortlessly stretched from movie matinee to dinner, that we realized something really special was unfolding.
A few months later came our first trip, first "I love you," and meeting each other's families. Then came 2020 like a wrecking ball with an unexpected test—moving in together during lockdown and navigating the uncertainties of the pandemic—which only strengthened our bond and deepened our connection.
Six years later, we've had some amazing adventures around the world (including a three-month stint in LA), and the best part is, it still carries the same spark that started it all.
We chose Ibiza for our wedding because it embodies everything we love: food, music, travel, and vibesss. As a Puerto Rican and a Miamian, we've always felt most at home by a beach — and ever since our first trip to this magical island in 2022, we knew it was where our hearts belonged.
We can't wait to celebrate this next chapter in our love story with you— the people we love who have been part of our lives throughout it all.
💙
