We met through Instagram. My amazing tattoo artist, Red, had tagged me in photos of work she did on me and that was enough to pique Saul's interest in my instagram page. We began following each other's pages, commenting and liking each other's photos. One day, Saul decided that he wanted to get to know the woman behind the page. He commented on a photo and asked if he could message me. I said yes. We got a chance to know each other and agreed to a date on 12/5/2018. We fell in love almost instantly and have been inseparable ever since.

We had taken a trip to San Diego when we first made our relationship official and fell in love with the area. We had stayed at a place that had a balcony and had an amazing time. The balcony is where he asked me to be his girlfriend. When Saul's birthday came around, we decided to take a trip back to that same place. I booked a room with a balcony, however, the balcony rooms were filled by the time we got there and we were given a room without one. The night before Saul's birthday, we fell asleep a bit early. Saul asked me to wake him at midnight for his birthday, but I couldn't make promises because I was just as tired. Midnight rolled around and we both woke up. According to Saul, he was awake around 11:30 and made sure to wake me up so that it seemed like I woke up on my own. I was drinking water and Saul started to complain about the room and how upset he was that we didn't have a balcony. I was quiet but was getting visibly upset at that point as I booked and paid for this trip for him to be happy. He had walked over toward me, dropped to one knee and, after a very sweet speech, he asked me that very important question. Of course I said yes!

While everything has been up in the air as far as planning due to COVID-19, we are still so thankful for all the love and support we have recieved. This is by far the craziest planning we have ever done, but truth be told, it just wouldn't be our wedding if it wasn't so unique. Thank you, dear guest, for being a part of our special day. From the bottom of our hearts, Christel & Saul
