Francisco and Hannah met back in 2019 while working for the Gaylord Texan. Hannah moved across country to work as a Restaurant Manager for the Gaylord, where she met the love of her life, Francisco, the then Sous Chef of the restaurant Texan Station.

One day after a long shift, Hannah was walking out the door into the tunnels of the hotel, only to be stopped by a pallet full of a large beer and spirit that was delivered late in the night. With a sigh, she began to put the cases away into the cooler, but there was no way for her to move the 3 kegs! With perfect timing, Chef Frankie had walked by with two of his cooks and asked if she needed help. With a smile of relief, Hannah said yes without hesitation. Shortly after, a laugh, realizing Frankie directed his counterparts to do the heavy lifting. Days following, Hannah was working her shift at the Riverwalk Cantina restaurant when she received a special delivery! A box of desserts sent from Texan Station with a note from Chef Frankie “To Hannah, I hope you enjoy”.

About a month later, Hannah was transferred up to Texan Station and began working directly with Francisco. They worked countless hours and actually very well together. After a couple failed attempts to take her out for drinks (it was nothing personal, but Hannah always had to return home to her dog, and if you know her, you know this is true), the two of them finally spent some time outside of work on Halloween Night. Hannah and Francisco made their relationship official in January of 2020. Their relationship grew stronger and quickly progressed during the pandemic where they spent day and night together in Hannah’s small 1 bedroom apartment. As Michael, the Best Man of the Groom said, “he stayed one night and never left”.

Four and a half years later, the happy couple lives in a beautiful townhome apartment with their now shared fur baby, Maui. They can’t wait to share this special day with their closest friends and family.
