Our Wedding

In 2016, Graciela’s Junior year and Alejandro’s Sophomore year, she tried out for Albert Einstein High School’s Latin dance team - Titanes Salseros. During tryouts, the team played a dancing game called Jack-and-Jill, where they have to keep dancing as the song genres switch, otherwise they’re out. That was the moment Alejandro and Graciela first danced bachata together. The previous semester she had been attending Northwood High School and had just started “mainstreaming” from RICA. At the time her grades were not the best so Junior year she did not get on the team. Eventually, she tried out again and made it on the team at the beginning of her Senior year in 2017. Alejandro and Graciela were shy and would speak to each other, but were also too nervous to have longer interactions. They started to talk more and more, and one night after a performance, as he was leaving he gave her a kiss on the cheek.Guess what? One week later they confessed their feelings for each other. On December 10th, 2017 he officially asked her to be his girlfriend, AFTER asking her mom, Jackelline for permission to date her. One year later, Alejandro and his family took Graciela in after being kicked out of the house, and they have lived together since. Together, they have been inseparable and have loved each other deeply, through trials and tribulations. On July 28th, 2024, Alejandro popped the question after elaborately planning a proposal that involved the staff at The Oceanaire Seafood Room in D.C.Together, they have lost loved ones (who will have saved seats at the ceremony and reception in honor and memory of them), made it through multiple moves (seriously, they’ve moved like 8 times now probably), taken care of those around them, and made sh*t happen.They are so happy to finally be tying the knot, and are excited to share the special event with their beloved family and friends!
