Frankie and Christina crossed paths in 2021 after connecting on the app that's meant to be deleted—Hinge. Although Frankie likes to joke that Christina left him on read for two months, it’s safe to say the wait was worth it. Not long after, they were clinking glasses of Prosecco and devouring all the appetizers (yes Christina ordered almost all on the menu) at Mama Shelter in Hollywood! These two had their fair share of dating stories and were the singles in their friend groups of couples, so when they finally met someone who felt like the perfect fit, there was no holding back. The very next weekend, they went on a hiking trip to Yosemite, both trying not to look out of breath in front of each other, and finished the weekend with a relaxing beach trip to watch the sunset. About a month into dating, Frankie and Christina became Panch and Teen—and they’ve been living life in the fast lane ever since.

Panch and Teen are no strangers to spontaneity—like getting a puppy just nine months into their relationship, even before living together. But hey, we’re all better for it! Not only that, but they embrace challenges, like choosing a breed known for being one of the most active and mischievous of them all. That’s right, little Cilantro came into their lives and quickly stole their hearts, their shoes, their socks, plenty of carne asada, and, of course, the hearts of everyone he meets. Not long after, they took the next logical step—moving in together in Gardena to continue building their life with their precious pup.

As true millennials Panch and Teen decided it was time to upgrade their home so Cilantro could have a bigger space to live his best puppy life! They took the leap to achieve the almost impossible, owning a home in Long Beach, CA! Nothing beats being able to have your own home to welcome Cilantro's loved ones to visit, have cook outs, New Years Eve parties, Halloween festivities, and much much more. Cilantro says all are welcome to his home so long as you are ready for him to sit on you!

It was Teen's birthday week, and while she had a feeling something big was coming, Panch kept her guessing with constant twists and turns! First, Panch surprised Teen with a visit from her besties, Kara and Ev, for her birthday on Thursday. Then, surprise! It was off to Palm Springs on Friday. And just when she thought she had it all figured out—surprise again! They were back in LA for what she thought was a birthday dinner on Saturday. But in fact, it wasn’t just a birthday dinner—it was a surprise birthday party at their home with friends and family from out of town! A couple of hours into the party, they brought out a piñata, secretly filled with engagement-themed candies. When the kids broke it open, Teen's first thought was, “I love ring pops!” But when she picked up the chocolate kisses with “She say yes” stickers on the bottom, she knew— IT WAS ABOUT TO GO DOWN. In front of their family and friends Panch, delivered the most beautiful speech about their love story, got down on one knee, and presented the most stunning ring imaginable. With tears in her eyes, she jokingly asked, “Are you sure??” as an ode to when he first asked her to be his girlfriend four years ago. *Video in the Gallery*
