The Bride
A short snippet about Noël.
Noël is overjoyed to begin this next chapter with Mario. After finding each other on a dating app and meeting up at the Toasted Coconut to talk in person, they bonded over their shared love of music and movies.
Noël was born in Minnesota and grew up in Wisconsin. She returned to the Twin Cities to attend Bethel College in St. Paul, MN, earning a BS degree in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, then working in an environmental testing lab and later the state forensic crime lab.
She moved to Houston for some warmer winters after visiting here for many years and now works in HR for a real estate organization. Noël is a knitter, gardener, and cat mom to a sweet gray and white cat, Juniper. Want a knitted blanket or houseplant cutting? Let her know!
She and Mario love finding great coffee shops together, meeting up with friends, and spending time on their hobbies.
The Groom
A short snippet about Mario.
Mario is a proud Houstonian by way of Mexico.
Creative from the start, he pursued his love for art by studying graphic design, a path that led him to his current role working for the City of Houston Sign Administration.
Outside of the office, Mario is a man of varied tastes and hobbies. He is passionate about the precision of custom mechanical keyboards, the necessity of a great cup of coffee, and the immersion of a good video game.
Meeting Noël was a game-changer for Mario and he’s ready to pause the game and start his biggest adventure yet: marriage.
