Today we would have been at our wedding in Barcelona... and even though this wasn’t part of our plan, in the end, we have the rest of our lives to make unforgettable memories together 👰🏽🤵🏽 #alwayssmile #alwayaugh #togetherforever #sergioandalyssa (at Antigua Guatemala, Sacatepequez) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAj3NQiDQnd/?igshid=1b5ff3cc9rub5

The rehersal dinner dress I won’t get to wear👆🏼Our dream wedding was cancelled. But don’t feel bad for us. It was a conscious, no brainer, decision that we made to protect the people we care about most during our global health crisis. The thought of endangering our loved ones or participating in the spread of this virus made the choice easy. Yes, we lost money, but there is nothing more valuable than our health. I received many messages with “sorry” included in them. I’m so grateful for the sentiment but we’re healthy and safe. To be honest, I’ve all but forgotten about the wedding over the last few days. It’s time to think about bigger things. I am consumed with thoughts of what our future looks like and how my family and I can make the lives of everyone around us better and safer. That begins with staying at home. We can work from home. We’re fortunate and I’ll never, ever, especially now, take that for granted. At the same time, my heart is absolutely broken for the millions of people suffering around the world. Yes, millions. There may not be millions of people sick yet, but millions of people are feeling the effects of this illness in their lives by a shortage of food, supplies or worries about how they’ll provide for their families without pay. It is not only up to us as a community to stay home and protect each other, but to come together as a community to hold each other up. The next thing you can do is support ANYONE close to you that is out of work. If you can, offer financial help - little things like sending your hairstylist a Venmo, they are self employed & don’t qualify for unemployment... No amount is too little! If you don’t have the means, offer any sort of help you can spare (safely). We may effectively slow the spread of this virus but the economy will suffer in ways that will effect all of us, sick or not. I pray that you’ll find it in your hearts to support someone in your life that needs it and if you’re someone that needs help, this post is meant to inspire someone to find their way to help you. As for my wedding... we’ll have many more blessings to celebrate when these days are far behind us. #sergioandalyssa #payitforward (at New York, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/B95yd9yjgRB/?igshid=1te7mmi0ws1xq

I love you until the end of time... even though you pronounce Valentines with an “m” 🧐 #valentiMe #apatament #sergioandalyssa (at Tel Aviv, Israel) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8kSogLD9BE/?igshid=40w2vh9co982

CHEERS! We’re married! For those of you that noticed my super sly name change & caught my passport debacle back in December this is nothing new but I wanted to come out and share this small yet HUGE detail. FYI When you have a destination wedding you still need to get legally married in the US so instead of popping over to the courthouse before our wedding in May, we decided to invite immediate family & our bridal parties to watch us get hitched on our engagement anniversary, November 9th last year. We rented out an awesome venue @38parlor, had Italian bites from @coppolanyc with an all you can drink @aperolspritzofficial bar followed by and endless night at @alleycatamateurtheatre. Aside from snagging myself the husband of my dreams, spending that week with my family and closest friends lit a spark in my soul that I hadn’t felt in so long and it just makes me so excited for what’s to come in May. #cheers #sergioandalyssa #fdc2020 (at New York, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8Rpgv6DhF-/?igshid=weu1ga8n7kpy

We came, we ate, we conquered! WEDDING PLANNING... not what I expected. In the beginning I was so anti-wedding, in fact this whole wedding was Sergio’s idea and I couldn’t thank him enough for pushing me to get on board with it. Aside from a little stress, a lot of money and some forewarned tension over guest lists, this has been the most exciting thing we’ve done TOGETHER as a team. It is such an exercise in team building, I can’t even explain. It feels like our first big task as a married couple and it makes me so optimistic about what’s next! 🥂 Special thanks to our wedding planner @bonoeventsinternational for leading us & our photographer @mamaphotowedding for following our journey last weekend. So much more to come!! #sergioandalyssa #weddingplanning (at Hotel Arts Barcelona) https://www.instagram.com/p/B7oLuwMDGyH/?igshid=sypa0j1spabj

COUNTDOWN 2 days until we’re in Barcelona for our site inspection trip! @bonoeventsinternational has planned back to back meetings, tastings, hair trials, you name it with every vendor we’ll need for the big day. A LOT to do in just 3 days but we’re going to make some magic 💫 #sergioandalyssa (at Castell de Sant Marçal) https://www.instagram.com/p/B7P3e8UjZXO/?igshid=no4x0jrixff1

CASTLE SHOPPING: Is this real life? Sergio and I explored our favorite cities in Spain, looking for the perfect castle to host our wedding! We chose Spain because it’s a place that is special to us, where we spend a lot of time making memories as a couple and nurturing friendships that have become more like family in our home away from home. We want to make sure our celebration of love reflects the life we’ve made together, our sense of adventure and our wild personalities. So, obviously we had to pick a castle in Barcelona! I wish I could have shown more but we were on the road 5+ hours a day and I was totally wiped out. Don’t worry, there is so much more fun stuff happening along the way and excited to share! #sergioandalyssa .
