We met in September 2020 thanks to a Hinge match and had our first date over smoothies at the Coconut Grove Marina. What started as something simple quickly became something special, and by October, we were officially us—20s themed party and all. In 2021, we began long distance between New York and Miami while chasing big dreams and building our lives side by side, even from afar. Through countless FaceTimes, flights, and milestones, we grew together and always found our way back to each other. In summer 2024, long distance finally ended when Fernando moved back to South Florida, and a few months later, in November 2024, we got engaged in Islamorada at Anne’s Beach, near our family’s home in the Keys. The rest is history, and we can’t wait to spend forever together.
