Michael & Javi

Our first date was in June of 2013 at a coffee shop in New York City. What was supposed to be a short coffee date turned into a long dinner, then a walk through the city, and a nightcap of frozen yogurt. When we reminisce about that first meeting now, we both remember immediately getting the feeling that we had known each other much longer than one night.

It didn’t take long for both of us to realize that we share similar stories and common values: openness, creativity, and family. Our relationship took off, and in July of 2015, we were married in a small ceremony surrounded by family and close friends.

As parents, we can’t wait to spend time together as a family: cooking, game nights, movie marathons, vacations, and reading our favorite books together at bedtime. We look forward to teaching our child a love for reading and animals, a respect for others, and an exploration in creativity.

We are committed to raising our children bilingual, teaching both English and Spanish (Javi is fluent in both). It is of the utmost importance to us to expose our children to people of different races, cultures and religions.
