Alora and Angel met on an online dating app in July of 2017. Messages were exchanged; after a few weeks of texting and 3am FaceTime calls, they finally met in person. Alora decided to surprise Angel at work with a visit from her and her best friend. They hit it off immediately and went on their first official date after that. Their first date consisted of ice cream, sitting on beanbag chairs in Target, and Applebees, where Angel jokingly told the waiter that he and Alora had just gotten engaged. They went on a total of three dates, and on the third date (August 6, 2017) they ventured off to Great America, then Half Moon Bay after. While sitting at the beach, Angel summoned the courage to ask Alora to be his girlfriend. She agreed!
Alora and Angel went to Lake Tahoe for the first time, to celebrate Angel's birthday. They rented a cozy airbnb and started the day with golfing at Edgewood Golf Course and afterwards ended up at a local sushi restaurant for a birthday dinner. That evening, they decided to walk down to El Dorado Beach to enjoy the sunset and each other's company. While watching the sunset, Angel dropped down to one knee and asked Alora to marry him. She happily said yes! The proposal was kept secret until 2 days later, when Alora and Angel surprised their families with the exciting news!
