One cold, dark January night in Boulder, we both left our studying at CU Boulder for a mutual friend's party - where we met and were immediately connected through our three languages in common. We saw each other in CAD class the next day (!), and while Sophia knew she was going to take a gap year that coming August, we took the risk and got to know each other throughout the spring of 2017. Fortunately, our relationship developed, re-shaped and deepened during the year apart, and in the summer of 2018, we made it official. Since that commitment, we have grown in our love through the last years of college together in Boulder, long distance while Andrés was working in the Bay Area, and 2+ years exploring Southern California. After 7 beautiful years together, we are so excited to celebrate our love and officially join in union alongside our friends and family!
