Andre & Nia

Once upon a time…

In the heart of San Diego, Andre and Antonia found love during unexpected times. They first met online in March 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic, when the world felt quiet and isolating. Their connection blossomed through messages and shared photos, and after several weeks of getting to know each other, they finally met in person for their first date at Louisiana Purchase—a truly unforgettable experience.

As the months turned into years, their love flourished, filled with adventures, laughter, and countless cherished moments. On April 16, 2024, Andre decided to commemorate their journey together by returning to the very spot where it all began—the location of their first date. He wanted to recreate the magic of that evening, reminding them both of the serendipity that brought them together.

To make the occasion even more special, Andre invited close friends and loved ones to fill the restaurant and surprise Antonia. Blindfolded, he led her into the restaurant, then knelt down and revealed a ring that sparkled like the stars above. “Will you marry me?” he asked. The room fell silent before erupting into cheers. Overwhelmed with emotion, Antonia nodded and exclaimed, “Of course!”

As their wedding plans take shape, Andre and Antonia dream of a destination wedding in Italy. They look forward to having you join them as they say "I do" in a location that holds a special place in their hearts, surrounded by the rolling hills and historic charm of the Tuscan countryside.

Their journey began with a chance meeting during uncertain times and has led to a celebration of love that

will last a lifetime.
