How we met
Sergio met Laura thanks to his barber, Violet (Laura's cousin), who played matchmaker and set them up on a blind date ten years ago. They went on a few dates, then went MIA on each other—classic. But fast forward a decade, and they reconnected, proving that sometimes love just needs a ten-year nap before it wakes up and says, “Yep, this is it!”
