Luis approached Courtney during a graduate school trip in Sacramento as she sat outside the convention center waiting for her friends. Although they shared classes and mutual friends (aka Mike Bonsynat - Luis’ groomsman) at Cal State Long Beach, they never spoke to each other prior to Sacramento. Luis was on his way to meet Mike and a few others for lunch but noticed Courtney and decided to approach her instead. He sparked up a conversation and they exchanged phone numbers to “check in regarding an assignment.” Their conversation flowed organically and their energies were compatible. Mike set up a group study session in Long Beach shortly after, and Luis and Courtney haven’t stopped talking since. Thanks, Mike!
