Luke and Isabel's story began with a spark - one that flickered to life on July 5, 2021, when they matched on Hinge. From the very first message, their conversations were filled with effortless banter, quick wit, and laughter. That summer, they texted constantly, their connection undeniable, but life had other plans. Isabel started a new job, Luke adopted his sweet dog Mika, and the holiday season came and went. Their story, it seemed, had been put on pause. But when something is meant to be, it always finds its way back. On a chilly January morning, out of the blue, Luke sent Isabel a simple text: "Are you free to grab dinner this weekend and catch up?" Isabel had missed their conversations, the way they made her laugh, so saying yes felt like the most natural thing to do. On January 14, 2022 they met for dinner at Burger Social in Wheaton, unknowingly stepping into the beginning of something truly special. From that moment on, the two have been insperable. Not long after their first date, Luke introduced Isabel to his sweet dog Mika, and she instantly fell in love (with Mika first of course...but Luke wasn't too bad himself). Conversations between them were always easy, filled with warmth and laughter. Isabel taught Luke everything he never knew he needed to know about Taylor Swift and Mexican cuisine, while he filled her world with football stats and endless random trivia. Their relationship was a perfect balance of playful teasing, deep conversations, and unwavering support. On March 2, 2022, Luke offcially asked Isabel to be his novia (girlfriend), marking the start of their next chapter. March quickly became their month - a time of love, new beginnings, and now, their future anniversary. Through the years, they built a life together filled with simple joys - cooking side by side in their kitchen, taking long walks with Mika and Eevee, unwinding with their favorite TV shows, and escaping on little getaways that let them slow down and just be. Whether traveling to a new place or simply enjoying a cozy night in, they found happiness in each other's company. 364 days after moving into the home they've built together, Luke surprised Isabel in the most intimate and meanigful way. In the heart of their home, their kitchen, where they shared countless meals, laughter, hosting and quiet moments together, he got down on one knee and asked her to spend forever with him. Just the two of them, in the place where their love had grown the most. And just like that, the love story that has always been meant to be found its way to forever.
