Mariann and Luis connected on the wildly popular dating app "Hinge" back in Spring of 2023. Instant discussion regarding church and worship music set things in motion. Their first date was spontaneous to say the least - Luis actually hit a curb with his car on the way to their meet-up location and ended up with a flat tire. Mariann felt like she was on an interview, but really Luis just enjoyed asking her questions like "What would your walk-up song be?" After ceviche and margaritas, Mariann insisted on driving Luis home instead of waiting on AAA. They were off to a memorable start. They quickly connected on mutual hobbies like traveling, fitness, breweries, and spending quality time with family. It was Easter 2023 when Luis met Mariann's family and really aced the tests. After several trips together, with Disney World being their first, they grew closer and surrendered their relationship to God. Like any solid relationship, they endured some trials together but stayed faithful and humble. One of the most competitive tests came when Mariann signed Luis up for HYROX and a half marathon to conquer together. Mariann and Luis challenge each other in pursuing a stronger faith and are each other's biggest fans. In September of 2024, Luis proposed while on vacation with his family, which was fitting since it took place at a Disney resort in Honolulu. When they deliberated on a location for their wedding ceremony and reception, Disney World won out (shocker). The crux of their relationship is built on a foundation of faith and supported by a loving family, and there are still many memories to be made...oh, and lots of Disney trips.
