In the heart of North Seattle, under the late-night city lights, our love story began. It was a highly anticipated meeting at a bar after we both finished work late. The initial plan was just a drink, but the connection was undeniable. We talked until the bar closed its doors, but our night was far from over. Not ready to part ways, we ventured across the street to a charming diner. Amidst the soft glow of the diner lights, our conversation continued, weaving tales of dreams, laughter, and shared secrets. Time seemed to stand still as we connected on a level that hinted at something more profound. As the diner closed its doors, we reluctantly said goodnight, both feeling a magnetic pull drawing us closer. Excitement lingered in the air as we left, eager for the promise of tomorrow when we could continue the enchanting journey that began that night. Our first meeting, a simple yet romantic chapter in the unfolding story of us.

Love took us on a magical journey in Cancun, Mexico, where our engagement story unfolded. On one of our final nights, we dined at a Michelin Star Restaurant. Little did Jeff know, he wasn't dressed for the occasion, but the thoughtful staff provided him with the perfect attire. The evening became a culinary exploration, a journey through Mexico's culture and flavors, making it truly unforgettable. As the night unfolded, a surprising moment awaited us. Towards the end of the meal, the waiters presented an unexpected dish, revealing not an extra course but a radiant engagement ring surrounded by clouds of smoke. Charo, overwhelmed with joy, tears, and surprise, said YES! In that moment, surrounded by the cheers of a neighboring couple, we embraced, cried, and felt the pure happiness of a love that had just taken a beautiful new turn. A special note: Jeff, seizing the perfect opportunity, had discreetly passed the ring to the waiter earlier, orchestrating a proposal that added an extra layer of magic to our already incredible evening. And so, our journey towards forever began in the heart of Mexico, a story we can't wait to continue as we embark on this wonderful adventure called marriage.
