We're getting married!

Jared & Ximena almost didn't meet because Jared accidentally gave Ximena the wrong phone number. It all started with a fateful "right swipe" -- two college sophomores, not looking for love, just matched on Tinder. Attempting to recover, Jared told Ximena he owed her a date - which was the smoothest pickup line in his dating life.

Ximena picked Jared up for a date filled with Cuban food, West Elm couch surfing, & window shopping at Williams-Sonoma. They'd won each others' hearts by the end of the day & began dating after their summer internships ended.

Ximena & Jared went to Presidio park to a lookout point where Golden Gate bridge meets the Pacific Ocean; Ximena's eyes lit up when Jared kneeled, ring in hand, and asked her to marry him in Spanish. After briefly blacking out moment, she said yes! They spent the rest of the day telling all of San Francisco they had just engaged.

Ximena The "Crafty Cook" -- Ximena Montserrat Suárez-Rosique was born in Mexico City and raised in Atlanta, GA since she was three years old. Her hobbies include sewing, pottery, cooking, & nurturing her house plants. Jared The "Athletic Nerd" -- Jared Christopher Williams was born in New Orleans and raised across SE Asia, Texas, Louisiana, & Florida. His hobbies include video games, fitness, anime, music, fashion, & technology in general.

Jared & Ximena strive to live in the moment and enjoy their surroundings. They enjoy going to farmers' markets, having picnics, & taking road trips to go hiking. And, of course, you can't forget nights watching reality TV with their dogs - Jack and Princess. Spending time together in these ways gives Ximena and Jared a greater appreciation for life with each other.
