Luciana met Jose while visiting the U.S. from Brazil as a student of architecture and urbanism at Centro Universitario Filadelfia. She bumped into Jose, an economics and finance student at the University of Texas at Dallas, while shopping at the Galleria Mall. The connection was so magnetic that they spent the rest of her trip falling in love. The couple traveled to see each other every few months and talked daily via Skype for two years before Jose proposed at their favorite Dallas restaurant, La Duni.
The bride and groom carefully selected a mix of handmade items and pastel colors to compliment the organic tone of the Dallas Arboretum. Luciana was so happy to see so many of her family and friends travel from Brazil to celebrate her special day. Even her grandparents, well into their 90s, made the trip.
