Tomas and Christian’s story began back 2022, in El Paso, Texas, after connecting online and deciding to meet at Mas y Menos Coffee. Unbeknownst to Tomas, the coffee shop was just a five-minute drive from Christian’s house—in case the date needed a quick escape. What was meant to be a simple 60-minute coffee date (Tomas even set an alarm to pick up his parents from the airport) quickly turned into four hours of effortless conversation. Christian, hoping to impress Tomas, even ordered a beer—despite not being a fan. In those few hours, they discovered not only a magnetic connection but also how easy it was to just be themselves together.

After that day, the bond between them only grew stronger. Soon, they embarked on their first big trip to New Orleans for Mardi Gras, which happened to fall on Christian’s 35th birthday—a leap of faith after only a few months of knowing each other. The trip was especially exciting for Tomas, who had lived in New Orleans for five years and was back hosting a Yelp tailgate party at the New Orleans Jazz Museum. Their adventure continued with a two-week journey through Europe, celebrating Pride Month in Mexico City, dancing to Christian’s favorite DJ in Denver, and creating countless memories together.

For almost two years, Tomas and Christian navigated a long-distance relationship filled with frequent flyer miles, meticulous planning, and a healthy dose of spontaneity (hello, A-List status). Despite the miles between them, the time apart never felt hard—they spent countless hours on FaceTime and phone calls, always making sure the other felt loved and special. Their commitment to each other turned every reunion into something extraordinary.

With time, they realized they had found not just the love of their lives, but their best friend and forever partner. On December 13, 2024, Tomas proposed to Christian on a Paris rooftop overlooking the city skyline.

Now, as they look forward to their wedding at Majahuitas on Friday, November 13, 2026, Tomas and Christian invite their loved ones to join in the next joyful chapter of their incredible journey together.
