Carolina & Joseph’s wedding ceremony

Port of Miami

Reception

Our Wedding

We met in June 2021 during our time at the Disney College Program. A few shared shifts quickly turned into a fast friendship, though it didn’t take long for Joey to realize he wanted more than just to be friends. Carolina, on the other hand, was a bit more guarded… but Joey was determined to be her very own Prince Charming and gently broke down her walls, one laugh at a time. With the help of our trusted friends (and secret matchmakers) Jayden and Tanner, who patiently listened to all the “do you think he/she likes me?” debates, Carolina finally admitted she might have a little crush. Of course, Jayden wasted no time letting Joey know that it was his moment to make a move. Joey asked her on a date, and they spent the evening at Main Event, a bowling alley and arcade in Orlando, where they played air hockey for hours, laughing, and giving each other a run for their money. That night sparked a connection that’s never faded. Even after Carolina returned to Miami and Joey moved to St. Pete, love conquered the distance. After a few months apart, Joey moved to Miami, and shortly after settling in together, he proposed in true fairytale fashion: at Schnebly’s Winery in Homestead, Florida. From Disney days to wedding days, we’ve been inseparable ever since and we can’t wait to begin this next chapter together. Special thanks to Jayden and Tanner, our real-life fairy godparents, for giving our love story its first spark. ✨

It all started with a little Disney magic…
