Eternal Bond

Philanthropists Cristian & Gianni LaCapra are living the dream, celebrating 18 years together and happily raising their kids in the tropical paradise they call home. Advocates of the power of time, talent & treasure, they regularly support many local organizations including Big Brothers Big Sisters, CARD, Girls, Inc., Jackson Health Foundation, Ronald McDonald House and United Way Miami, among many others. “It’s important to stay true to your core and what matters most,” they say. “Honesty, compromise, support, and always having fun together are the keys to a lasting relationship!”

Serendipitous Spark

It was halfway around the world in Prague where Hamid & Hanka Haqq first met when he approached her to inquire about the city as they stood under the famed medieval Astronomical Clock in Old Town Center. That fateful day ultimately led them to nearly a decade together and a lifetime worth of adventures that has taken them from Prague and Zurich to Montblanc, Corsica, Sardinia, and beyond. Today, they both work in the healthcare industry — he as a Neurovascular Territory Manager for Imperative Care; and she as the Director of MRI Marketing for Medconnect. “Our relationship thrives on our mutual focus on family and each other’s needs,” they say.

Perfect Sync

Both Miami natives with a penchant for globetrotting, Cesar & Katherine Evander recently celebrated their first wedding anniversary and look forward to many more to come. First meeting in Japan during a study aboard program in 2018, today the pair are partners in life and business, helming Evander Jewelry, focused on crafting pieces that shine at the intersection of heritage, narrative, love and art. “Our ability to communicate openly and align our goals has allowed us to grow not just as individuals, but as a unified team,” they say. “We continuously work to support each other and stay connected, balancing our romantic life and professional aspirations.”
