How we met
They say the best things happen when you least expect them—and now we truly believe it. Our story began on a night filled with laughter, excitement, and maybe a little bit of fear, too. Our first date was at Halloween Horror Nights, and in true spooky-season spirit, Anahi picked me up with a bouquet of sunflowers—playfully nestled inside a plastic bloody foot. I had spent the night before carefully crafting a bouquet of my own, humming to “Ojitos Lindos” by Bad Bunny, imagining what it would be like to finally meet. That night, we screamed, we laughed, and ran hand-in-hand from every monster in sight, but most importantly, we felt a spark that neither of us could ignore. From that unforgettable night on, we became inseparable, and now, we're so excited to share the next chapter of our lives together.
