Our story began on November 26, 2022, the evening Mexico got steamrolled by Argentina in the World Cup. Most people were devastated. Carlos? He was thrilled. But the real win that night? He met me. Within a week, we shared our first date. By March, we were off on our first adventure together. The beginning of a journey that would take us across multiple U.S. states and, of course, to Mexico. It was on a Nashville rooftop, under the city lights, that Carlos asked me to be his girlfriend, starting a little tradition of beautiful backdrops. From there, the dates kept coming, always centered around good food, better drinks, and conversations that lingered long into the night. On June 2, 2025, two years after it all began, we got engaged with our favorite people around us, the Chicago skyline behind us, and more happy tears than we could count. For the full story, you’ll have to ask Carlos. He planned it, stressed over it, and probably rehearsed it in the mirror. From my side? All I had to do was say yes. As we look ahead to this next chapter, our hearts are full. And we can’t wait to celebrate it with the people who’ve been part of our journey.
