Stef and Enrique's journey began in December 2020, when destiny brought them together through the American Marketing Association at University. Stef was serving as President, and Enrique, eager to join the team, applied for the Vice President position. Without hesitation she appointed him the role, citing his “skills” as the reason. Little did they know, this professional connection would blossom into a beautiful love story.
They quickly bonded over their shared passion for brand marketing and discovered a deeper connection through their Venezuelan heritage & similar personalities. A fun fact they love to share is that they lived just 10 minutes apart as babies in Caracas, and their families never knew! Their similar morals, values, and daily customs further strengthened their bond.
Interestingly, they also attended the same high school for a semester. While Stef didn’t remember Enrique, he remembered her clearly. After Enrique graduated college, Stef pursued her master’s degree, and then they both moved to New York City to start their careers at Unilever, working on the same floor. This new chapter in their lives brought them even closer.
They have shared countless memories, from friends’ trips and powerful family moments, to traveling to Europe and recently attending the 2024 Copa America final. One of their most cherished memories is their trip to Venezuela, where Enrique proposed to Stef in the stunning Los Roques.
Their love has grown deeper with each passing day. Both being avid listeners, Stef loves talking about her family, especially her grandmothers, pop culture, new business ventures, food, her Italian-Venezuelan heritage, and her dreams every morning. On the other hand, Enrique enjoys discussing (or rather, playfully annoying her with) his sports takes, including long conversations about why Messi is the most pivotal soccer player in history. He also loves talking about new business ventures, his family, friends from all over the world, favorite movies, Tommy Shelby, and more.
Together, they have navigated many phases of life, and their love continues to grow stronger. Estefania and Enrique are deeply in love and excited for the future that awaits them.
