We’re getting married!

Their love story begins in the most modern way possible: a dating app—Hinge, to be exact. After enduring hundreds of questionable dates, Harrison was barely motivated to keep trying. Lizneth, on the other hand, had already experienced her fair share of horrifying dates, even venturing onto a Christian dating app. In December, she decided to give Hinge another chance—but this time, during the holidays. Lizneth typically avoided dating apps around this time of year, fearing she’d be discarded after a single date and paraded around as a fleeting holiday romance. But something was different this time—she decided to download the app anyway, willing to take the risk. When Lizneth came across Harrison’s profile, two things caught her eye: his blue eyes and his nice butt. He looked like Prince Charming, and she couldn’t resist hitting “like.” Little did she know, Harrison was just as over the dating scene as she was. When they matched, he was on his way to Boston for a work trip, but before boarding the plane, he asked for her number. Lizneth obliged, then promptly deleted the app, tired of seeing the same crowd of hopefuls over and over. When Harrison noticed Lizneth had disappeared from Hinge, all he had was her number and a screenshot of her photo—a modern-day Cinderella twist. He texted her but was “too busy” with work to reply promptly, which left Lizneth unimpressed and uninterested. However, when Harrison returned, he apologized for his lack of communication and asked her out. Their first date was at Armature Works in Tampa on a cold, humid Florida night. As they strolled along the downtown riverwalk, Harrison found himself captivated by Lizneth, even though it was way past his usual bedtime. Lizneth, nervous and cold, shivered as her straightened hair puffed up in the humidity and her makeup began to melt. Harrison noticed only one thing: she was cold. All he wanted was to wrap her up in his arms, but he kept his distance, determined to be a gentleman. At midnight, they walked each other to their cars. Harrison stole a kiss that left Lizneth driving home to the song Golden Hour, marveling at how incredible he was. Meanwhile, all Harrison could think about was how badly he needed his bed. Their second date was at the AMC theater, where they watched a 3-hour movie. After the credits rolled, they sat in Lizneth’s car and talked for another 3 hours, laughing about how the car in front of them had left its lights on the entire time. The conversation flowed so easily, neither wanted the night to end. On their third date, Harrison showed up with flowers, but he didn’t expect Lizneth’s mom to be the first one out the door. Her mom greeted Harrison warmly, ready to introduce herself before Lizneth even stepped outside. Smiling through the unexpected introduction, Harrison took Lizneth to Busch Gardens for a day filled with roller coasters and laughs. Lizneth loved rides, but Harrison—though he hated them—kept his cool and braved every one with her. Fate seemed to have a sense of humor, though, as nearly every ride they went on had technical difficulties. Despite the hiccups, they laughed through it all, creating a day they’d never forget. And while it was memorable, they haven’t been back since. During this time, Harrison also started forming a bond with Lizneth’s beloved Maltese, Alfredo—a tiny dog with a big, sassy attitude. Alfredo wasn’t quick to warm up to strangers, but Harrison’s gentle patience won him over. He loved Alfredo as his own, cementing his place in Lizneth’s heart even more. Two weeks later, on the drive home from meeting her friends, Harrison asked Lizneth to be his girlfriend. From Harrison chef’n in the kitchen to their shared love of travel and guilty pleasure of watching The Bachelor, they discovered not just love but a deep friendship and bond that will last a lifetime.
