Omar met my brother in middle school so he was around the family for a decade before really getting to know each other. In 2018, we bonded over Natalia LaFourcade's 'Tiny Desk' performance at 5am after some party and have been inseparable ever since. - Dinora's story You were Robert's sister. That's how I met you. You were sort of nice to me and that's it. - Omar's story
Omar randomly told me the day before that he had arranged a "date night" at the Pearl Hotel in Point Loma - one of the first places Omar and I had a few dates before it became official. When we checked into the room, he had arranged for flowers and wine to be delivered with a note that said "No Card Message." Okay... I had an idea that he was up to something but I also always have crazy fantasies about Omar doing super romantic things that don't happen. I did notice he was nervous so I started to chug a bunch of wine before he stopped me and told me to go to the lobby with him. Downstairs we were met by my mom, brothers, nephew, best friends, his parents, brothers and grandma. Then he said, "they weren't going to let me do this without everyone here so... Dinora, will you marry me?" I cried. then said, "FINALLY! and yes!". - Dinora's version "I was very nervous. I got on one knee and said "marry me". then we went to have drinks and food. it was at the pearl where we had our first date. and that's it." - Omar's version
