I do.

On May 8, 2015, my Cuban love and I celebrated our 5th anniversary together by tying the knot! We had an intimate backyard boda (wedding) surrounded by close friends and family at the home of my mother and stepfather. The attire was "come as you are" for a down home southern bbq (complete with cuban pastries) and a good time! The first tropical storm of the season decided to head our way the same weekend, but just a couple of hours before guests were to arrive, the sky cleared up, the sun came out, and the weather was perfect for a night under the stars.  It was an evening full of fun and more magical than I could've ever imagined. 

A huge thank you to everyone who helped make our day perfect! We couldn't have done it without you. We are blessed to have such wonderful friends and family celebrate our day with us.
