Our Wedding

Love Wins!

It all started with a swipe right. Back in 2018, Mike and Antonio matched on Bumble—Mike was holding it down in Jersey City (bridge and tunnel forever!) and Antonio was living across the river in Astoria. Two years later, in February 2020, they moved in together… just in time to ride out a global pandemic from the epicenter of it all. Thankfully, they successfully avoided becoming a true crime documentary. Over the past 6+ years, they’ve built a life filled with love, fun, and laughter. From traveling all around the USA, singing along at concerts, walking in Halloween parades, and catching Broadway shows to earning advanced degrees, embracing lake house living, and navigating the joys (and headaches) of homeownership, they’ve shared it all. Through the highs (family holidays in NJ and FL, new adventures, and a lot of good food) and the lows (injuries, loss, illness, and more presidential elections than they’d like to count), one thing has remained constant—they’ve faced it all together. Mike and Antonio are incredibly lucky to have family who are friends and friends who are family. And now, they’re so excited to celebrate this next chapter with all of you!

Todo comenzó con un deslizamiento a la derecha. En 2018, Mike y Antonio hicieron match en Bumble—Mike estaba en Jersey City (¡puente y túnel por siempre!) y Antonio vivía al otro lado del río en Astoria. Dos años después, en febrero de 2020, se mudaron juntos… justo a tiempo para enfrentar una pandemia global desde el epicentro de todo. Afortunadamente, lograron evitar convertirse en un documental de crímenes reales. Durante más de seis años, han construido una vida llena de amor, diversión y risas. Desde viajar por todo Estados Unidos, cantar en conciertos, desfilar en paradas de Halloween y ver espectáculos de Broadway hasta obtener títulos avanzados, disfrutar de la vida en una casa junto al lago y navegar por las alegrías (y dolores de cabeza) de ser propietarios, lo han compartido todo. A través de los momentos felices (festividades familiares en NJ y FL, nuevas aventuras y mucha buena comida) y los difíciles (lesiones, pérdidas, enfermedades y más elecciones presidenciales de las que les gustaría contar), una cosa ha sido constante: han enfrentado todo juntos. Mike y Antonio tienen la gran suerte de contar con una familia que son amigos y amigos que son familia. Y ahora, ¡están emocionados de celebrar este nuevo capítulo con todos ustedes!

¡El Amor Gana!
