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 🎉
