Andriana and Vladimir Stojnic
Remember that person at the bar who randomly started talking to you
and your friends? What if I told you they could have been the love of your
life? You may not believe me, but I’m sure Vladimir and Andriana Stojnic
could change your mind.
The husband and wife originally met in the fall of 2009 at Time Cafe when
Vladimir Stojnic started a conversation with Andriana and her friend.
“The moment I walked in, I see a gorgeous girl with beautiful curly hair
let down, properly dressed up in suit, talking to her friend. Her friend was
much nicer and started talking to me, while this muse was ignoring me
fully. Night went by,” Vladimir Stojnic said.
Fast forward to a couple months later, May of 2010, when Andriana and
Vladimir crossed paths again at the same place.
“I was heading to meet my bestie at Time Cafe for a nice night out,” Andriana
Stojnic said. Before they went in, her friend met her outside, saying that
“there is this extremely good looking guy in a hat that I must see.
“Shortly after, I notice the guy looking my way and asking the bartender
who I was. I am great at reading lips clearly,” Andriana Stojnic continued.
“After some time of passing glances, we went our separate ways only
to eventually turn around and seeing him in
front of me up close. Full of smiles, talking and
laughs, we truly made it a night to remember.
We have been inseparable since that night.”
The Stojnics remain in Astoria — now with their
two kids — and love the diversity and tight-knit
feel of the neighborhood.
“Everything we use, do, have, breathe
comes from places or people in Astoria and
LIC,” Andriana Stojnic said.
