Victor & Luis Pablo

“Echa mano a la ligera; soltar a la ligera. Este es uno de los grandes secretos de la felicidad en el amor.” ~ Spanish proverb
– Take hold lightly; let go lightly. This is one of the great secrets of felicity in love.

Victor & Luis Pablo’s story begins 13 years ago (yes 13 years!) in Mexico City, Mexico. Victor, a native of the Dominican Republic residing in New York, was pursuing acting when he met Luis Pablo. The couple began dating relatively soon and spent a year getting to know one another while falling in love.

Luis Pablo recalls being devastated when Victor left for 2 weeks to visit family in New York. He says, “We have never been apart for more than 3 days ever since, we simply can’t.” Awwww…..!!! After a little over year Victor decided to return to New York. Luis Pablo was not ready to say goodbye permanently and followed him there shortly after.

June 24th 2011 wasn’t only a monumental day for the LGBT community but also for Luis Pablo & Victor. While watching the senate approve the same sex marriage bill Victor turned to Luis Pablo and asked him to marry him. Luis was shocked because until then it was never spoken of. Even when asked they both agreed they wouldn’t until it was legal in NY. Being they waited so long for this it was only natural not to wait!

The couple was married on November 5th at the New York Palace Hotel. Floralies exquisitely decorated the room with Flowers. Victor & Luis Pablo danced the night away to Hank Lane Music and a Mariachi Solido de Mexico! Luis Pablo wore a black Valentino tux with YSL shoes and while Victor rocked an ivory velvet Dolce & Gabbana with Versace shoes.. Hot!

We are so happy to share the story of Victor & Luis Pablo!!
