Wedding Date on Oct 20, 2018

Cynthia and Clistenes met a few years before dating while Cynthia was applying for jobs in NYC. On her way back to CT each time, she would stop for a caldo verde and caipirinha at Ipanema, where Clistenes worked at the time. He always kept an eye on her and then on 4th of July weekend 2010, they were chatting at the bar and Clistenes finally asked for her phone number. Two days later, they had their first date... and 8 years later, they tied the knot.The most important thing throughout wedding planning was creating our unique vision that demonstrated us as people and as a couple, while staying within budget. For futures brides/grooms - stay true to yourselves and block out all the noise! Everyone has an opinion, but at the end of the day your wedding is about celebrating you as a couple.
