Rafa and Bella met on the last day of a 4 day camping music festival. After 72+ hours of no real showers or bathrooms or beds, Rafa still thought Bella was cute. Bella was wearing dirty socks with holes in them from dancing barefoot. Rafa was dressed as a safari guide and carrying around a piñata affectionately named "Pepe". Bella offered her sunglasses and a disco ball necklace to decorate Pepe, and a friendship sparked from there, as well as a multitude of strangers making offerings of trinkets to Pepe and dancing around him for the remainder of the set. Rafa and Bella kept in contact, but it wasn't until a year later when both would realize they had found a good egg and things would progress past friendship. Below is a picture from the day they met, featuring two of their best friends (Collin and Taylor) and Pepe.
