Our story began in the most unexpected way — around a campfire. We met through our mutual friends, Olivia and Luis's cousin, Sam, during a camping trip. We both traveled far to attend a group camping trip at the most beautiful spot in Northern Arizona, known as Edge of the World. We were living in different states at the time, so ending up in the same place on the same night felt like pure chance.

We noticed each other from across the fire but didn’t speak right away. Eventually, Hannah took the first step and sat down next to Luis and started chatting his ear off. The next day when everyone was cleaning up camp, we went our separate ways without exchanging numbers, not knowing that this small spark would turn into something lasting.

Only a couple days later, Luis found Hannah on social media, and from there, everything fell into place. We started talking every day, sharing long phone calls and planning visits between Oregon and Arizona. After months of long-distance, Hannah moved to Oregon in May 2024, and we started our next chapter together in Beaverton, Oregon.

Not long after, we brought home our puppy, Bodie, and our little family began. A year later, we moved to Independence, Oregon, to be closer to Luis’s family and our friends.

On July 5, 2025, surrounded by our closest friends at one of our favorite places — Ankeny Vineyards — Luis asked Hannah to marry him. It was the perfect evening to start the next chapter of our story.
