Our Wedding

Growing up, Fiona always said to herself that she would marry someone whose name started with an "A" because her name starts with an "F", meaning "Always and Forever".Adriel answered a question and swiped right on Fiona's Hinge profile on February 3, 2021. After taking a break from online dating, Fiona decided to reinstall Hinge on February 6, 2021. The first thing she thought when she came to Adriel's profile was "he seems normal". They texted for a week straight and went on their first date on February 14, 2021 (aww) where he asked her to be his Valentine! After hanging out more and going on some more dates, Adriel asked Fiona to be his girlfriend on April 3, 2021 by doing an Easter egg hunt around her house. In July 2021, Adriel moved to Middletown, so they spent a lot of time together! Fast forward to December 2022, they move in together in their own home! It was an easy adjustment for them. In June 2023, they welcomed their two kittens, Guava and Tortilla, into their family. Finally, July 8, 2023, Adriel popped the question! After telling their friends and family, many people's first words were "finally!" Adriel and Fiona love to play pickleball, spend time with their kitties, cook, and lay on the couch watching movies together. Cheers to them, Always and Forever.They cannot wait for you to join them on their special day! #AlwaysAndForeverZapata

Their Story

Photos

The bride's best friend.  Fiona and Kaylee went to high school together, but never really crossed paths until hanging out at a mutual friend's house, thanks Augie!  They worked for the Middletown Parks and Recreation Center together for a few years.  Their friends call them "the moms" because they are always looking out for everyone and making sure they're doing the right thing!  You can usually find Kaylee drinking her tea from Starbucks.  Kaylee is 1/3 of KFC.

Meet James, one of the best men for our wedding. Adriel and James’ story began in high school, where they first crossed paths in gym class, bonding over their shared love for soccer. James, always in his ROTC suit on Wednesdays, endured Adriel's playful shoe-stepping antics. After Adriel graduated, life took them on separate paths until soccer reunited them again. They would play every weekend, and one day James, introduced Ricardo to Adriel while playing soccer; and well, the rest is history. 

James Lee

The bride's best friend.  Fiona and Celiann's story starts in 2004, when Celiann's 2nd grade teacher was Fiona's mom!  They actually met in 2011 when they had 2 classes in high school together and became inseparable.   They knew they would be best friends then because the following year, they had another two classes together!  Celiann is always down for a good time and will be the first one on the dance floor, without question.  She is a dog mom to her black Pug, Zoe.  You can find Celiann with a drink in her hand or a pair of scissors doing somebody's hair.  Celiann is 1/3 of KFC.

Meet Ricardo, one of the best men for our wedding. Though Adriel and Ricardo attended high school together, their paths never crossed until fate intervened through our mutual friend, James. Ricardo playfully teases that Adriel used to ignore him in the hallways, but soccer and James brought them together. Adriel never expected a close friendship with Ricardo, once shy and quiet, now transformed by Jagger bombs at Coyote's Club. As our trio's bond strengthened, Ricardo became one of Adriel's best friends. Don't miss him tearing up the dance floor after a couple of drinks at the reception!

You can always see Fiona and Brigitte giggling in the corner laughing about an inside joke.  Brigitte is a dog mom to her Pitbull, Katara.  Brigitte is always there when someone she loves needs her and is definitely someone you want in your corner.  You can usually tell she is having a good time if she starts snorting while she's laughing.  Fiona is grateful to have her in her life and a part of her wedding!

Brigitte Lancelot

The bride's little brother.  Well, little in terms of age considering he is significantly taller than she is!  Growing up, Fiona and Aidan were always together and played the same sports.  Aidan always had to hear "Fiona's brother" all throughout his life.  They have matching brother/sister tattoos, which was Aidan's first tattoo.  Aidan loves to say that he will be carrying on the Curley name once Fiona is married!

Aidan Curley

One of the bridesmaids and a best friend of the groom. Adriel and Megan's friendship began through Melissa. Megan, often listening to Taylor Swift or busy baking banana bread, is not just a friend, but also a proud cat mom to Miss Tigga. As a fellow member of the Sewer Cory Gang (SCG), Adriel and Megan share a bond over their love for Vampire Diaries and Harry Potter. During the pandemic, they collaborated on a YouTube channel (don't look it up, you won't find it). Megan, a delightful presence and a true kindred spirit, is here to celebrate as a bridesmaid.

Megan Quinn

“Hola me llamo Eduardo” were Lalo’s first words to Adriel when they first met in the 3rd grade. Who would have thought it would become such an amazing friendship!  Now, he is one of the groomsman to our wedding. Throughout elementary school, Adriel and Lalo bonded over WWE, emulating the Hardy boys, playing soccer, gaming, and sharing mischievous adventures. They went  to different middle schools and then reunited in high school, where their friendship blossomed. Lalo and Adriel often think about the joyous childhood moments they shared and emphasize the significance of their bond. Eduardo, a core memory in Adriel's life, is here to celebrate and share in the joy of this special day. 

Eduardo Salazar

One of the groom's best friends.  Melissa and Adriel first met while working at Tommy Hilfiger.  You can find Melissa reading, crocheting, or watching her favorite anime, One Piece with her pup, Tigger.  Melissa is the founding member of the friend group, Sewer Cory Gang (SCG) and is usually the one who comes up with activities for the group to do, such as hiking, doing escape rooms, or driving to haunted places.  Melissa is an important part of Adriel's life and now Fiona's.  She is here to celebrate as a bridesmaid!

Meet Andrick, the not-so-little brother of the groom. Adriel and Andrick, inseparable growing up, did everything together – from hanging out with friends, to watching WWE, playing soccer with neighbors, and playing video games. Their competitiveness thrived in contrasting preferences, be it in sports teams or favorite players. Adriel favored Real Madrid, while Andrick leaned towards Barcelona. Adriel admired Cristiano Ronaldo, and Andrick was a Messi fan. Despite these differences, their unbreakable bond shines through, proving that nothing can separate them. Here's to celebrating a lifetime of shared memories and brotherly love.
