We first met in Decorah, Iowa, a small town where we both attended Luther College. How Max managed to find the only person from Spain to enroll there is still unknown. It was during a J-term when we kept running into each other in our campus cafeteria, neither of us knowing the other one's name. Close to the end of our one-month term, Max gathered the courage to ask me out on a date at one of our on-campus cafes. That first date was filled with laughter and shared interests, leaving us both excited for the future. Fast forward to 2022, and our love story reached a new milestone as we got married in a small, intimate ceremony with our parents and siblings by our side. And now, we cannot wait to celebrate with all of our friends and family two years later!
