Jorge & Courtney speak for the first time after matching on a dating website called Tinder. Courtney makes the first move.
Jorge asks Courtney on a first date to a local restaurant in downtown Long Beach, California called BO-beau kitchen + roof tap. Courtney walks into the restaurant to Jorge patiently waiting and they hug. They begin walking to their table in which Jorge says nervously, "I feel like I can't talk." Courtney laughs and says, "Lets order a bottle of wine." 4.5 hours of nonstop conversation later, and they have spoken every single day since.
Courtney planned her first international trip to Tokyo, Japan to visit her cousin Brittany. 3 weeks before the trip, Courtney invites Jorge on a whim hoping he could come, but knowing it was probably too late of notice. Jorge makes it happen as he does most trips and they fly to Tokyo together. On the second day of the trip, the two decide to become exclusive!
Jorge is scouted for a new position at Sierra Space in Denver, Colorado. Accepting the position, Courtney supports him and they move to Denver together. They live in the mile high city from June of 2019 through February of 2022.
Jorge tells Courtney he has a company Christmas party for work and they need to dress classy for it. Jorge puts an invitation to the (fake) Christmas party on their fridge. The two put on their best dressed looks and head to downtown Denver. They walk into the Denver Clocktower and head to the top floor. Courtney walks into a room with the song "All of Me" by John Legend playing, a table for 2, bottle of champagne, rose pedals on the ground, and chocolates and says, "Where are your coworkers?" Once Courtney realizes it is a proposal, Jorge says some sweet words, gets down on one knee and asks Courtney to marry him. Courtney says, "yes!!!" and in which Jorge replies, "Are you sure?". Courtney says, "I have never been more sure of anything in my life" as she laughs. Courtney holds out her hand for Jorge to put the ring on in which Jorge says, "which hand do I put it on?" The two laugh as their families come out from hiding and begin to surround and congratulate them.
The two decide they're over the cold and miss the beach and relocate to Tampa, Florida!
