We met in January 2023 in Guanajuato, Mexico, Sara’s hometown. At the time, Julian was visiting his aunt, uncle, and cousin who had recently moved there. We connected right away and quickly realized there was something special there. Our first date was at Café Tal, a small café in the city that will always be part of our story. Julian soon returned to Seattle, but we stayed in touch through messages that eventually turned into long video calls. A few months later, we reunited in Mexico City, and the rest is history.
