Alexandra and Michael studied together at the University of Puerto Rico School of Law for three years…and never spoke.

It was a serendipitous twist of fate years later, amidst the vast expanse of digital connections, what started their love story and led them to each other. During the pandemic, Alexandra started following an Instagram account named "Síndicato del Perreo," curated by familiar faces from her law school days. The account would sometimes post stories initially made by Michael that always managed to make Alexandra laugh. With courage buoyed by the invisible thread of shared humor, Alexandra took a leap of faith and clicked the "Follow" button on Michael's profile, unknowingly setting in motion a cascade of events that would forever alter their lives. Seizing the opportunity fate had laid before him, Michael quickly found an excuse to chat and slid into her DM’s. Once Michael moved back to Puerto Rico from Miami, he asked Alexandra out, and suggested they go to Piñones. Alexandra, who never says no to alcapurrias, promptly accepted. As the seasons changed, so too did the nature of their affection, blossoming into a love that transcended the boundaries of mere friendship.

Three years after formalizing the relationship, Michael asked Alexandra to marry him in an intimate proposal in their apartment, with only their dogs, Tahiti and Naveen, as witnesses.
