Officially Mrs. Mendez! New York native now in the sunshine state 😎 my husband and I grew up in the same neighborhood, Brooklyn. We couldn't stand each other, lost touch for 12 years and here we were planning our forever through Wedding Wire! We can assure you no one saw this coming but everything we've been through has been worth it to lead us back to one another 💙

Happily married 🎉

Stephanie in Community Conversations, on March 22, 2019 at 6:50 PM

Update from my last post, my grandma passed this morning. We are all so sad but we knew it was time and she's no longer suffering. And for sure I will have a memorial for her at our wedding.
