Dear Friends & Family, We hope this finds you well and staying healthy during these uncertain times. We are writing to let you know we’ve had a change of plans for our original wedding celebration due to COVID-19. We decided to elope with our immediate family! While we wish we could celebrate this special day with all of our friends and family, we just couldn’t wait to say ‘I do’ and make it offical! We much appreciate your continued love and support, and while we feel it was the right decision, we hope you understand it wasn’t easy to make. With much love, Carlos & Isabella

Okay let us be real, this isn't 1860 anymore so we will admit it, WE MET ON INSTAGRAM. #foundmywifeoninsta #foundmyhusbandonthegram Isabella must have thought Carlos was one hunk, because SHE sent the friend request! Carlos, very intrigued by this beautiful girl, decided to investigate her page; it just so happened that Isabella had gone fishing at the Santa Cruz lake that day (the lake Carlos grew up fishing at with his Dad and Grandpa). Carlos immediately recognized it and slid into Isabella's DM with a flawless line: "Is that the Santa Cruz lake?" Talk about having game right?! Obviously Isabella could not resist and they talked back and fourth for months. Not having met Carlos in person, and with Isabella being a crime junkie, she proceeded with caution before following her heart to go meet the man behind the screen. They spent the weekend getting to know each other and followed with weekly visits from time to time, but the distance was just not working. Carlos FINALLY moved back to New Mexico and worked up the guts to rekindle what they had in Austin. Maybe it was the dates filled with the outdoors and donuts, or maybe it was the absence from each other that made them realize what they always had. Now you can find them, tending to their chickens or spending time outdoors with their dogs and Ariea.
