Like so many modern romances, Cesar and Alfred's love story began online. A few liked photos, a few flirty (some might say "thirsty") message exchanges led to longer and longer conversations over the next few months. When they finally met face-to-face, a meeting that almost didn't happen due to Alfie's shyness, the sparks flew. The chemistry and connection were undeniable. But with Cesar based in LA and Alfred making his home in Phoenix, they were both a little apprehensive about what their future might be.

As time went on Alfred and Cesar found themselves traveling often to see each other. Each promised to spend at least one weekend a month in each other's city. Introductions to friends and family came next and everyone could tell there was something special between the two of them. The visits became longer and more frequent as their bond grew. Overtime they realized they didn't want to keep saying goodbye to each other and Cesar made the move to Arizona.

Time moves forward and the months turn into years. Cesar and Alfie buy a house together and set about making it a home. They share a love of music and enjoy attending concerts together. They fill their house with their favorite art and dedicate space for movies and video gaming. They are both very family-oriented and love celebrating life's moments, big and small with their families, often traveling together on shared vacations

Their own family of 2 grows when they bring home an English bulldog (a life-long dream for Cesar's), Sgt Pepper, and eventually her little brother, Ziggy Stardust. With a close circle of friends, loving family, 2 puppies, and a pool, life is good.

Traveling to New York City to celebrate their 6th anniversary, Alfred had a surprise in store. Cesar's favorite band, Depeche Mode, was playing Madison Square Garden and Cesar was excited. Stopping for drinks before the show, Cesar noticed Alfie was acting distracted and anxious. Before too long, Alfie pulled a classic switcheroo by pretending to tie his shoe and pulling a ring out of his pocket while he was down on one knee. When Cesar realized what was happening he began to cry. Alfie proposed and was so nervous he actually put the ring on the wrong finger. Obviously, Cesar said yes. They went to the concert and all the love songs felt a little more special that night. Afterward, they had a movie-perfect NYC adventure including a carriage ride to Time Square and a slice of pizza.

And that brings us to now! Cesar and Alfie are taking the next step, celebrating their love and union with a fun night with all the people they care about most in the world. They can't wait to see you there.
