Six years ago at a college party in UNCP, Elias and Leslie were introduced through a mutual friend. The night instantly became memorable as they discovered they shared not only a Puerto Rican background but also a deep love for Latin music. That connection sparked a conversation that lasted the whole night and set the foundation for the beautiful relationship that would transpire.
After months of non-stop laughter, an unplanned trip to Puerto Rico and "un perreo sucio en La Placita", they decided to make it official. A chapter in their lives that they decided to write with no guide or expectations but evolved into a strong yet effortless love story that no romance novel could compare.
Traveling the world and enjoying new adventures together had quickly become their favorite thing to do. For a year, they planned their first trip abroad and they could not be more excited. But only one of them knew what the outcome of this trip would be. Across from the Eiffel Tower, with Paris casting a spell around them, time slowed. With Leslie's hand in his, eyes full of love and anticipation, Elias got down on one knee and the world seemed to fall away. Unbeknownst to Leslie, their friends and family had conspired from afar to make this moment so magical. With a soft smile, his voice steady but full of emotion as he asked the question that would change their lives forever. As Leslie said "Yes", the cheers of their loved ones and other strangers echoed through the Parisian air, turning their private moment into a celebration of love. This is only the beginning... Time to write new chapters!
