We first met at our community group back in July of 2023. Audrey had been attending for awhile, and Isai had just shown up for the first time. Over time, our friendship grew as we continued to interact at the community group and at church. After about one year of friendship, our feelings began to grow into something deeper. Audrey realized that Isai was hilarious, smart, and fun to be around. Isai found Audrey to be easy to talk to, charming, and beautiful. We realized we were spending more time together and talking more than people who are "just friends" do. This went on for some time, and after gentle encouragement from a friend, Isai asked Audrey to go on a date after a night of swing dancing with friends. Our first date went so well that Isai asked Audrey to go on a second date before dinner was even halfway done! Ever since that night, we have enjoyed a year full of laughter and ever deepening love for one another. We got engaged on August 10th, 2025, and now look forward to a lifetime together in marriage.
