364 days after the date initially chosen, we had the wedding of Cátia and Carlos.

They have known each other for over 10 years, since the time when Carlos owned the “Rádio Jornal” café.

The first contact was there, Cátia and her art on table football caught Carlos’ attention.

No, it wasn’t Love for the first time, at least on the part of Cátia, but there they exchanged contacts.

A few visits to the café, using table football as an excuse, friendship and complicity grew.

Of course, for the total conquest, there were many calls, messages and such visits to the cafe.

Cátia with the energy that characterizes her, Carlos with his playful way, gradually became connected.

They became so connected that, in 2012, Carlos opened a restaurant and Cátia went there, even without understanding anything about the area.

Without knowledge, but willingly and taking advantage of Carlos’ experience, the restaurant worked.

But, the tiredness of the initial idea and already with a new concept in mind, everything changed.

Opening of the “Républica das francesinhas”, in Paredes, curiously the place where we had our team’s Christmas dinner :)

But, going back to the story of Cátia and Carlos, I’m going to talk about the first kiss.

Leça da Paleira, by the sea and inside Carlos’ van.

With my heart beating at 1000 but with a lot of desire, there it happened.

Naturally and without a registration date, the courtship followed.

The marriage proposal did have a date, and what date.

Christmas Eve 2015, dinner with the families together and… Carlos lacked courage.

It was missing, at the time, later and in the background, Carlos made the request :)

Having already a daughter in common, the joy was total.

And that made us to be in July 2021, at such 364 after the date initially chosen.

A day of celebration, lots of celebration, joy and good mood.

From those couples that are easy to like and that we like to be, a great day.

It remains to leave some photographs of the wedding.

See you soon…
