Amy and Mauro met while they were both attending Texas State University. She was in a catholic service sorority, Mu Epsilon Theta, and he was in a catholic service fraternity, Lambda Omega Alpha. They would see each other while attending mass and activities at Our Lady of Wisdom University Parish, but they did not officially meet until they both decided to participate in intramural softball. From the beginning, they realized they had many things in common, but remained friends. Mauro patiently waited until their friendship grew even stronger. On a date to Gruene, TX, Mauro asked Amy to be his girlfriend. From that moment on, their love has been inseparable. During their relationship they helped each other grow spiritually and have been each other's support during each milestone in their life. On July 3rd, 2018, Mauro proposed to Amy with her family at their side. She said yes in a heart beat!
