Manuel and Hannah first met in 2011. Hannah was working at Footlocker and Manuel was working at Kids Footlocker. Manuel would ask Hannah for his paycheck, however a simple hello was all that was spoken between the two. Fast forward to 2018 on Manuel's 29th birthday, where he decided to send Hannah a message inviting her to celebrate his birthday. Unfortunately Hannah was unable to attend the celebration. A month went by and the two had yet to speak again. Hannah then mustard up the courage to reach out to Manuel. That led to a movie/pizza date and Manuel learning that Hannah likes pineapple on her pizza. This is a big no no for Manuel, however, he was able to overlook this culinary catastrophe. Fast forward to October 2023, in front of hundreds of apple trees and Hannah's mom and niece, Manuel got down on one knee and asked for Hannah's hand in marriage. With a nod of her head she agreed to the proposal. A year later, they are set to wed in an intimate civil ceremony in Laguna Hills.
