Our story began on the Charles River in Cambridge, MA -- two souls from different parts of the world who connected by good fortune. Andressa, a dermatologist from Brazil, had just moved to the U.S. to pursue her master’s degree, combining her passion for traveling with her career. Kevin, a venture capitalist from NH, was searching for his best adventure yet.

Our first date was unforgettable, not only because of our instant connection, but also thanks to Edison, Kevin’s playful Australian Shepherd (and wingman), who joined us for the riverside picnic (and spilled wine on Andressa's dress)!

Together, we’ve embraced our shared love for exploring the world, scuba diving, hiking, and skiing. From the vibrant streets of Rio to the beaches of Malaysia, and from the White Mountains to the Great Smoky Mountains, no matter where we go, every trip has been an adventure. Oh, and we both love capybaras, a wonderful animal you'll hopefully meet in Brazil!

The highlight of our relationship so far was on the beaches of Bali, Indonesia, where Kevin proposed. With the sun setting over the ocean, casting golden light across the sand, it was the perfect moment to say I do.

Now, we’re so excited to continue our adventure as husband and wife, and we can’t wait to celebrate this next chapter with the people we love most.
