Lessons in Love

Little did they know that this was the start of their journey as partners in love and, eventually, in life.

The two officially said “I do” in front of 300 guests on March 11, 2023, at Santuario de San Antonio Parish after seven years of building the foundations of their relationship. “So much of life has happened to us in the years we have been together, more so during the pandemic,” shares Yanah. “We were apart from one another for over a year due to the lockdown, so for this day to finally arrive was thrilling.”

All the guests could make it, and Rafa and Yanah wouldn’t have it any other way. According to the bride, celebrating their special day in the company of their family and friends was nonnegotiable. “This was the first time we were reunited with many of our loved ones, which made the day all the more special,” she says.
