The couple first met online using the app Hinge. If you are familiar with the app you know that you come across 100s of profiles that the app says fits your preferences. Strangely enough, the app notified Laura that there was someone she might be interested in. Of course that person was none other than Ricardo. February 28, 2019 was their first date and they went to Lou Malnati's Pizza in Oak Park and then danced the night away at Doc Ryan's Bar. He always told her he felt a spark when they met, and on July 4 during the fireworks show at Navy Pier he asked her to be his girlfriend. Needless to say sparks were definitely flying that night. Fast forward to December 22, 2024 when the couple got engaged in front of their closest family and friends. They are so excited to share their special day with you, and live out this chapter of their endless love story!
