Ruben and Hazel’s story began in the most modern of places (Hinge) yet from the very first messages, something about their connection felt ancient, like two souls recognizing each other from a lifetime before. From the first day, they were inseparable, orbiting around each other with a pull neither could quite explain, but felt most right. It’s like Destiny whispered “there you are”. One Sunday afternoon in June, the truth of their feelings arrived not in a single moment, but in a hundred tiny ones.. As Ruben held Hazel tightly in his arms and showered her with over a hundred little kisses, something rushed through both of them. It was the kind of day where the world disappears, where time slows, and the heart quietly admits, this is LOVE. Then came the Renaissance Faire. A place where fantasy felt real and the veil between worlds thinned. Ruben and Hazel, fully dressed in costume, reached a quiet moment, where Ruben presented Hazel with a treasure: A hand-written medieval book with a tale like no other. Inside was the story of a magical raccoon who fell in love, told page by page with thought, devotion, and a touch of enchantment. On the final page, written with hope and trembling excitement, were the words: “Will you be my girlfriend?” Hazel’s heart glowed like a lantern in the dark, for she already knew the answer long before she spoke it. It was whimsical, it was perfect, and so very them ❤️ From then on, their adventures only grew. Raves that pulsed with electrifying energy, dancing under the stars at festivals, travels that led them to medieval towns and ancient castles. Where they roamed like characters from their own epic tale. Sought wonder in Speakeasies, enchanted plays, & magic shows. And of course, they were partners in cosplays.. But the greatest chapter of their tale came beneath the roaring winds of Rodeo Beach during a photoshoot. Cloaked as Link and Zelda, heroes of their own legend, they journeyed to a labyrinth by the sea. Though the day was meant to be warm and golden, the skies whipped into a fierce, wild wind that wrapped around them like a spell. Ruben dropped to one knee. The world roared around them. Wind, waves, destiny. And yet all Hazel could feel was magic. She said YES, of course. How could she not? Their story had been writing itself from the moment they matched! And so, the story of Ruben and Hazel continues. Two souls bound not just by love, but by magic, devotion, adventure, and a destiny that even the winds themselves could not shake. Their tale is far from over. In fact… It has only just begun❤️🔥
