It all started in 2021, thanks to my amazing cousin Paola. She invited me out for dinner with some friends, but I was hesitant. I had just finished a workout and was feeling less than glamorous—sweaty gym clothes and all. But as luck would have it, traffic was a nightmare, and Paola reassured me, “Don’t worry about it; gringos never get dressed up anyway!” So, with a little coaxing, I decided to join.

As I sat down at the table, I found myself facing Patrick, who I thought was super cute. However, I was more focused on catching up with my friends. That was until his friends decided to liven things up with some tequila shots! Now, being that I was driving and knowing I had work the next day, I played a little game: every time a shot was poured, I pushed it over to Patrick.

After a few rounds, he mustered the courage to break the ice, and we began chatting amidst the laughter and clinking glasses. By the end of the night, I was intrigued—and let’s be honest, a bit smitten.

When I got home, I woke up to a text from an unknown number that simply said, “Soy Patricio.” And from that moment on, we haven’t stopped texting! Our connection blossomed quickly, turning into late-night chats, shared laughs, and unforgettable adventures.

We’ve truly enjoyed every moment together, and we can’t wait to celebrate our love with all of you on our special day!
