It all began with a shared connection through a mutual friend in early 2021, who seemed to have an impeccable eye for pairing people. From the very first conversation, there was an undeniable spark between Nicoyia and Mario. Nicoyia immediately felt that there was something special about Mario—he had a way of making her laugh effortlessly, and she couldn’t wait to know more about him. Mario was equally drawn to her. He saw in Nicoyia not only beauty but also intelligence and a personality that made every conversation flow effortlessly. They both quickly realized they had found something extraordinary.

What started as a casual meet-up turned into something more. On Valentine’s Day, they decided to meet up for a fun exchange of Valentine’s Day grams (because who doesn’t love cookies?). After enjoying a delicious taco feast at Tacos Tu Madre, the chemistry between them was certain. Their stroll down the boulevard was filled with energy, and in a moment that could have come straight from a movie, Mario leaned in for their first kiss.
