They met working on the National Tour of Elf the Musical. He was the handsome, moody, mysterious associate choreographer holed up in the corner making inappropriate jokes. She was the bubbly, sassy, slightly jaded elf (what won't an actor do for a job, am I right?!). Romantic sparks didn't immediately fly, but a year later she made her moves, he made his, and the rest is history!

Almost seven years later, M + E took their post pandemic summer vacation to Croatia! Enrique was waiting for the right moment to pop the question, so he kept the ring securely in his backpack. Their first full morning was a bit rough, however. Enrique spent the previous night with food poisoning and the next morning, he rallied and they headed to a cute local coffee shop. Minutes later, Enrique's face drained of color, his eyes rolled (yes it was scary!) and he passed out on the sidewalk! One ambulance visit later and a bit of commotion, he was released and sent home to rest. Suffice it to say, he didn't propose that day! However, two days later, they made their way to Plitvice Lakes National Park and spent the day on the walking trails, mesmerized by the turquoise waters and waterfalls. The last stop of the day was the "Great Waterfall". After giving his top three reasons for wanting to marry her (yes, she told him he needed three!), E dropped down on one knee and popped the question! She said YES, but then quickly reminded him that SHE HAD TO PEE! And they ran to the nearest restroom ;) ROMANCE!
