Nahal and Jose first met in June of 2016 on the soccer pitch of Pacific Palisades High School in Los Angeles. Jose had just moved to LA after a year of traveling in Southeast Asia and joined the league with some friends for fun. Nahal, having played competitive soccer her whole life, joined a random league to keep playing after college. After seeing how amazing Nahal was at soccer that first game, Jose knew she was the one. ... just kidding! Although, let the record be known that Nahal *is* better than Jose at soccer. The two got to know each other first as friends but soon realized they had quite a lot in common. From their shared love of adventure to the value they place in family & friends, their friendship became something more. Fast forward to September of 2020, Jose and Nahal took a standard trip to San Diego to visit his family. While Nahal had her suspicions, she believed they were just stopping to see Jose’s family for drinks before heading out to dinner. But when they arrived, it was just the two of them in a beautiful house on the ocean at sunset. Jose got down on one knee as both their families secretly waited inside to celebrate the start of their lives together.
