When Caroline applied to live at the BYU Foreign Language Housing Spanish House for a semester, little did she know that she would meet the one she would choose as her eternal companion! Isaías was one of the Spanish Language Facilitators and he was in charge of taking attendance for the activities. One day, she told him that she was going to be absent because she was going to attend a presentation offered by a BYU professor on the topic of flirting. That seemed to spark his interest and he actually flirted a little with her that evening!

Isaías and Caroline became good friends and she eventually invited him on a date. They went bowling and had lots of fun but she didn’t think he was very interested because he was quiet and reserved. By the end of the semester, she had attended his graduation, met his family, and was more and more into him in spite of her attempts to give up on her feelings for him! She decided to talk to him hoping to move on with her feelings. However, to her great surprise, he told her that he actually liked her too and invited her to “try something”!

During their courtship, Isaías and Caroline started attending the temple of The Church lf Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints together weekly. One day, he asked her if she would like to attend the Provo Temple early in the morning. She agreed and after doing a temple ordinance separately, they met up in the celestial room (one of the most beautiful and sacred rooms in the temples of their church!) Isaías’ countenance was noticeably different as he shared his feelings for her, and to her surprise, he was talking more than her! Soon after, he proposed, pulling the ring box out of his pocket and she said a quiet but firm “yes”!
