Connor and Maria matched on Hinge in March 2024 and the rest is history. They had their first date at Nawa after a couple weeks of talking. They began dating on May 2nd and soon became inseparable. Maria would then move in November of that same year, bringing along her two kitties, Zoey and Lemon. By then, Connor knew he wanted to spend the rest of his life with Maria. He bought her ring in January, knowing he would be popping the question on their family trip to Cancun in March. One of their favorite things to do is to slow dance to Cooper Alan songs, so while in Cancun, they went to a Gazebo for "family pictures" and began slow dancing to Take Forever by Cooper Alan. After telling Maria how much he loved her and couldn't wait to spend the rest of his life with her, Connor got down and asked her to be his wife. After asking "are you serious?" about 5 times, she said yes! They are very excited to spend this time planning the wedding and celebrating with their friends and family.
