Maria first came across one of William’s videos on her Instagram Explore page, where a restaurant in the background caught her eye. Curious, she commented on it to ask for the name. He replied politely, and that seemed to be the end of it, until a few days later, when he sent her a follow request. They started chatting, and a natural connection began to grow. A few messages turned into long conversations, and not long after, William asked for her number. From that day on, they’ve talked every single day. After just a few weeks, they went on their first date to a “sip and paint” night, a fun and creative evening that confirmed what they were both beginning to feel: this was something special. Just a couple of months later, William surprised Maria by booking a trip for the two of them to Jamaica. That trip marked the beginning of a shared love for adventure—and for each other. Since then, they’ve celebrated their birthdays in different countries, making memories together in Jamaica, the Dominican Republic, Mexico, and Puerto Rico. Of all the places they’ve been, the Dominican Republic holds a special place in their hearts, and they dream of going back there for their honeymoon. What’s kept their love strong isn’t just the travels or the milestones, it’s the commitment they’ve made to choose each other every day. They’ve built their relationship on open, honest communication and the unwavering support they give each other in all areas of life. They officially began dating in April 2022, and in November 2024, William proposed. From a simple Instagram message to building a life side by side, their story is a reminder that love often begins in the most unexpected ways and grows when two people choose it, together.
