Our Wedding

Nuestro Amor 

It was a total cupid story! Richard and I grew up together in Lake Zurich. We stayed connected over the years and will occasionally see each other at our friends' get togethers. Cupid struck, blind-siding both of us, one halloween night in 2021 and I said "oh shit, what are we going to do? I live in Texas and you live in Chicago." The on-going joke is that Nala knew before either of us! Next thing you know, I'm packing my bags and never looked back. ~Karelia

"It all started with a quick trip to Austin, where I was looking for a new experience, a fun time, and Texas BBQ. Just about anything but love. I was always told “Love will slap you in the face when you’re not looking for it” and that’s exactly what it did. I came home and in one Halloween weekend, my life was changed forever. I don’t think I could ever live another day without Karelia in my life and don’t know how I lasted so long beforehand"~ Richard
