    💍 Our Story

    How We Met

    It all started at a cozy little coffee shop in downtown Seattle. John was working on a design project, and Luis—late as usual—accidentally grabbed John’s coffee order. That one mix-up sparked a conversation that hasn’t stopped since. From shared playlists to spontaneous road trips, what began as an accidental latte swap quickly brewed into something deeper.

    The Proposal

    Luis proposed on a quiet evening during a trip to the Oregon coast. As the sun dipped below the horizon, he handed John a small sketchbook filled with doodles of their favorite moments together. On the last page? A drawing of a ring and the words “Will you marry me?” Of course, John said yes—through happy tears and laughter.
