Camil recounts his first wedding to his wife of 10 years, Heidi Balvanera.
In Mexico we say ‘amor de mi visa,’ the love of my visa."
He continued, “No, I’m kidding.

We got married because I was doing the green card process for my family.”
“He said ‘No, dummy.
You need a paper.'”
And we got married."
Unfortunately, it wasn’t exactly a fool-proof plan.
So they thought I had purchased my wife but I didn’t."
Thankfully, their visit to the county clerk was their first “wedding,” but not their last.
“We had a normal wedding,” Camil said.
“Like a party with a reception and we went to the church and we did it right.”
The couple have been married since 2013 and share two children.
“It happens that I’m in love with my wife,” he told the outlet.
So I think that’s it…
I love her and she is a wonderful woman, she is a brilliant mother.
She is the foundation of the family.
I’m very lucky to have found that."
