It all started at work in 2017. We were just two people showing up for our shifts—never expecting that something as ordinary as work would lead to something so extraordinary. Before we even started dating, he was actually tutoring me in Spanish and helped me ace my classes. I like to think he was trying to win me over with verbs and vocabulary… and maybe it worked. From the start, we just clicked. What began with study sessions, casual conversations, and lots of laughter turned into a real connection. Before we knew it, we were spending more and more time together—and we’ve been inseparable ever since. One of the things I love most about him is how safe and supported he makes me feel. I hate getting vaccines (seriously), but he’s always right there to hold my hand. Whenever I’m scared or overwhelmed—no matter what it is—he shows up, calm and steady, just like he always has. In November 2024, he asked me to marry him—and of course, I said yes! It was sweet, intimate, and full of love… just like our journey has been. Now, we’re getting ready to say “I do,” and we couldn’t be more excited to celebrate this next chapter with all the people who have loved and supported us along the way. —With love, Magdala & Tulio
