Rachel was working as a barista at Open Doors Coffeehouse when Felipe came in. After some flirtation (smoldering looks and hair flips) while ordering coffee, both asked mutual friends about the important details. A week later we were on the first date.

In September we went to Asheville, NC for a Date. Rachel thought that they were after some good eats, when Felipe took her by the first art gallery they had visited together. "Lets take a look at their new stuff" he said. Felipe had it all planned out. With the gallery attendant involved, a friend armed with a camera, and some of Rachel's favorite music playing he planned the perfect romantic and intimate proposal. Rachel said "YES!" We are very excited about this next chapter of our lives together. Thank you for celebrating with us and we hope to see you in December!
