We met through a dating app on October 12, 2019. At the time, Diana was living in Dallas, TX but flew in to San Jose for the weekend for the friends' engagement party when we connected online. Our relationship did not begin as "love at first sight". Initially, we spent a lot of time understanding each other's goals, aspirations, backgrounds, and expectations. It wasn't until Diana moved out to CA a few months after we met that things began to pick up steam. Despite the pandemic uncertainty, we spent almost every weekend together getting to know each other by doing activities we love: hiking, cooking, watching movies/tv shows, and visiting national parks. We fell in love the more we were around each other that it became impossible to let each other go. We knew we wanted to be with each other long-term.
