The De La Garza family moved to Austin, Texas from Monterrey, MX on Sofia's birthday. That means Lalo and Sofia were in the same city for over a decade but didn't meet until...

2 Mexican mothers thought it would be a good idea to introduce their kids. One, a UT grad working in finance, the eldest son of the family who was very tall and handsome. The other, a Texas State grad working in public relations, the youngest daughter of her family and known to be a handful.

A first meeting with few words and a simple introduction, but the curiosity began.

Sofia and Lalo did not connect again for months until....

On an afternoon in late June, a match was made. And it wasn't a stranger.

Determined to win her heart, Lalo plans the first date while on vacation in Mexico

After many texts and facetimes, the two had their first date at a cozy Italian spot. And after a night filled with pasta, wine and The Godfather soundtrack - they became inseparable.

And ever since that first date, they have only fallen deeper in love with each other everyday!
