Their love story begins like this…. Nine years ago, their mutual friend invited Francisco to Mairani’s indoor soccer game to become a Co-Coach (they basically just drank beer). Francisco played basketball and football growing up so he had minimal idea of what was going on. One day after a soccer game a few people went out to Buffalo Wild Wings including Francisco and Mairani. Allegedly Mairani stalked Francisco on social media after but Mairani added him on Instagram to say thank you for making sure they all got home safe after a night of drinking. Since then they began talking more getting to know each other (for about a whole year!). Then on 01/01/2018, Francisco finally asked Mairani to be his girlfriend!!!! A couple years later on 06/17/2023, Francisco told Mairani that he was taking her to a brand new restaurant in San Francisco and that she had to look nice and wear a dress (Mairani doesn’t wear dresses on a regular). Francisco first took her to their favorite beach Crissy field (Francisco had been scouting beaches in the city and seeing which one they like for this moment). Once at the beach Francisco asked to take a picture near the water. While both were walking near the water they noticed a proposal set up. Francisco then said “Oh look someone is going to propose, let’s walk around it.” While they walked closer, Francisco walked Mairani toward the walkway of roses, at that moment Mairani realized that the proposal was for her!!! Francisco asked the question and Mairani said “YES!” Near their location family members were hiding behind bushes and all came rushing to congratulate both!! On 05/16/2026, both Francisco and Mairani will walk the alter and say “I DO.” Let’s congratulate the beautiful couple and wish them well in their new journey as husband and wife!!! Cheers to Mr. and Mrs. Cortez!!
