Owner
Congratulations to all you newly engaged couples!
Let me tell you a little bit about myself. I was born and raised in NYC. Recently my fiance proposed! We were in a long distance relationship for 2.5 years. We decided I would be the one to move which is why I now live in Minnesota!
I'm excited to explore what the Midwest has to offer! My ethnicity is Hispanic so I am bilingual. I speak English and Spanish fluently.
I love staying active. I'm a former Track & Field athlete, my event was hurdles. I enjoy hiking and last year picked up snow boarding.

Meyglys is a wonderful artist and a fantastic person. Cannot rave enough about her. I knew I wanted something dramatic- and after seeing her stunning instagram I knew who I wanted ...
to do it. However, she and her assistant were amazing at my slightly less glam attendants and mothers. As Meyglys says “The lash completes the look.” And she is so right! Everyone looked stunning and I could not be happier :)
