After exchanging several messages online, they agreed to meet up at a local Mexican restaurant (one that Aracely's family knows well and could contact the owner to spy on them!). They immediately hit it off (even though Matthew did not like horchata) and agreed to an official first date!

They went bowling where Matthew impressed Aracely with his epic bowling skills (he scored one strike), then went for pizza. It would later be revealed Aracely's sister was spying on them the whole time, just in case!

They went on a Christmas date in San Francisco and had a wonderful dinner overlooking Union Square all lit up. It was during this beautiful, romantic date that they first said "I love you" to each other.

They went up to Lake Tahoe for a Valentine's getaway, during which they took a gondola ride up to the viewing deck overlooking the lake. Aracely had no idea what was coming, and Matthew successfully tricked two innocent bystanders to take photo and video for them. He proceeded to get down on one knee and asked the all important question (actually, he never said the words "Will you marry me", but the point came across!). Of course, she said yes!

They are looking forward to their special day and being able to officially call each other husband and wife!
