It's Happening!

Isabel and Felipe first met in Middle school, a 7th grade AVID class to be exact. They remained friends throughout Middle & High school, but it was a widely accepted fact that Felipe had a crush on Isabel from very early on. They shared the same friends, so they saw each other and hung out frequently. Felipe asked Isabel to their Junior and Senior Homecoming, going just as friends. But when Isabel asked Felipe to their Senior Prom, they knew their feelings for each other had evolved. With college fast approaching, they finally made it official and went to college as a couple. After a year in college, they got their first apartment together and started seeing what their future could hold. By the end of their second year of college, COVID had hit full force and their plans came to a screeching halt. Isabel was considering Master's school and Felipe was set to attend SDSU in CA that fall. So they did what they had to do and tried to stick to their original plan as much as they could. They moved to CA, got a place to live, and went through some big struggles that came with the Pandemic, unsteady jobs, and lives being turned upside down. After spending Christmas in their first house together, Isabel realized that she couldn't have made it through those hard times with anyone else, and couldn't imagine having a life without Felipe in it. Isabel bought a ring for Felipe just after the New Year, and waited for the perfect time to propose. On April 28th, 2021, after a quick trip back home to Wenatchee WA, Isabel proposed to Felipe in the SeaTac airport ensuring that whatever life threw their way, they'd get through it together.
