We were assigned to sit next to each other in high school and I started talking to Alejandro and eventually he was reassigned a different table. We had always been friends and in May of 2020 I had reached out and started flirting with Alejandro and when we hung out he hugged me and made me instantly feel safe. We’ve loved each other since we were 16 but only started dating as adults.
What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?Our favorite memory is when we recreated our first date for our engagement photos. Our photographer took us on a trip down memory lane when we went to The Hat this pastrami place in Upland, CA and after we had ice cream at Handles ice cream parlor in Upland, CA. It was lovely to revisit those places engaged and reliving the emotions we felt when we first started dating.
