Rafael and Melissa’s relationship began the modern way—on Bumble—where a few clever messages back and forth led to their very first date on January 9, 2021. They both consider it their “best first date ever,” and ended up staying out past closing hours at a Mexican restaurant in Fort Lauderdale. There was instant chemistry, great conversation, and lots of laughter. Little did they know that night would spark the start of their beautiful love story. They are indeed a #BumbleSuccessStory.

To mark two years since the day they met, Rafael planned the ultimate surprise: a private airplane ride soaring above the glittering Miami skyline. What Melissa didn’t know was that somewhere high in the sky, Rafael was about to ask the biggest question of their lives. Ironically, despite Rafael’s fear of heights, it was Melissa who ended up breathless and hyperventilating. After saying “yes,” the two popped Champagne and ended their unforgettable day with dinner at one of their favorite Miami spots, Crazy About You.
