Now that I have been introduced, I thought it was only fair if we let Sofia have the spotlight also. I asked her some questions so you can all get to know her better. Enjoy!
How would your husband describe you?
Good question! I was curious too – so I cheated and asked him! lol And as the good (and smart) husband he is, he only said nice things!… playful, creative, compassionate, studious, nice, hardworking, prompt and detail-oriented.
Do you have any pets?
I have the best pet ever! – my puppy Tito! Well he’s not really a puppy anymore, but he’s small and my little boy!
What was the last book you read?
I used to read a lot more books then I do now – I mostly read wedding magazines and blogs now – but I believe it was Emily Giffin’s Something Blue.
What’s your favorite food?
I really don’t have favorites – how can you possible pick just one? Its so hard, but if I must say something, I would say any seafood dish
What are your hobbies?
I enjoy singing, playing soccer, designing, and photography. Unfortunately, I don’t get much time for hobbies now. I try to spend my free moments with my husband and meeting up with family and friends.
What is your motto in life?
I’m not sure if it’s really a motto but I live by this quote: “Be yourself, everyone else is already taken.”
Which languages do you speak?
Portuguese, and Spanish – and well English in case it wasn’t clear. 
What are you best at?
At being myself – no one else can be me!
Who has had the most influence in your life?
My parents – they were very strong role models. I wouldn’t be the woman I am today without either of them.
What cartoon character best describes you?
Without a doubt – Jean Grey from X-men
If you could live anywhere in the world for a year, where would it be?
Would I be able to take my family and friends? If not, right where I am. (Canada is pretty awesome!)
If you knew you could try anything and not fail, what dream would you attempt?
When I was young, I wanted so bad to become a famous singer – now, I realize that what I’m meant to do is what I’m doing and if I can sing while I work then it’s a pretty awesome day!
Would you rather take pictures or be in pictures?
Can I say both?! Haha I’m quite the ham, I’m not shy at all so I’ll get right in a picture, but I also love to take pictures. I took photography in University and just love different perspectives.
Are you a beach, country or city person?
Beach! – love, love, love the beach!
Where do you spend most of your money?
To anyone that really knows me, this seems like a pretty easy question – they would say shoes! Yes, I love my shoes – shoes are definitely my weakness! However, I’m sure I spent a lot more money on the bare essentials like groceries.
What inspired you to create love+design?
Aside from being a certified wedding planner, I was first a graphic designer. When I got married I created all the stationary pieces for my wedding and no one could stop talking about it. My family and friends kept encouraged me to provide this service to others. I finally realized that this would be the perfect compliment to wedding planning. I would have the ability to really execute a wedding theme thoroughly.
And that is Sofia in a nut shell. Sofia is the older sister, and my best friend growing up. She was always there for me and was always willing to help me get through my “tough times”. I can’t imagine my life without her. As much as I bug her about her age, her height, and any silly thing she may say or do, she will always be my sister and now my business partner. Love ya OLDER, yet SHORTER sis
