Ethan and Marisol’s story began in 2022 in Tucson, when a birthday party at Marisol’s apartment brought them together. Ethan was immediately captivated by Marisol’s beautiful eyes and quick wit, while Marisol noticed his warm charm and unforgettable smile. Ethan swears she couldn’t take her eyes off him, though Marisol will never admit it. Nearly a year later, fate reunited them when Ethan moved back to Tucson. What started as a simple house tour from a roommate quickly became countless excuses to spend more time together, until it was clear their paths were meant to intertwine. One of their earliest memories is a playful back-and-forth over a Pizookie and six stubborn dollars. Ethan had treated Marisol, who refused to let him pay, and what began as a small gesture turned into a sweet, ongoing tradition of outsmarting each other with laughter and love. Eventually, Ethan gathered the courage to ask Marisol out for Korean corn dogs and boba. Their second date—Chinese take-out and Corpse Bride—sealed the beginning of a love that has only grown stronger, even through long-distance. In July 2025, during Marisol’s visit to Guam, Ethan surprised her with a proposal at Oka Point as the sun dipped into the ocean. Marisol thought they were simply taking a photo, but Ethan had secretly set the camera to record as he dropped to one knee, the sunset painting their forever in the background. They are endlessly grateful that life gave them a second chance to find each other. It's an extraordinary thing to meet someone who you can bear your soul to, who will accept you for who you are. No measure of time with you will be long enough, but let's start with forever.
