They were both on an online dating app and matched in August of 2016. As the girl, Elsie had to begin the conversation which is required by the app. So she did and after a few days of messaging back and forth.... nothing happened. They went about our lives and two months later a friend of Andres told him he was going on a business trip with a lady named Elsie which must have sparked his interest again because he decided he now had a reason to reconnect. So he reached out and this time they actually made plans to meet up. They decided to meet at Melt Ice Cream on Magnolia, which is also where he would propose two years later, and had the best first date either of them could remember having. <3
