We first met on the 4th of July weekend in 2020, right in the middle of the pandemic—of all times! Some mutual friends, Little John and Christina, introduced us on John’s boat, and from the moment we met, there were fireworks (and not just the ones in the sky). What started as a casual get-together quickly turned into something more. Despite the chaos happening in the world, everything just seemed to fall into place for us.

Fast forward to now, and we’re building a life together, filled with love, laughter, and a little chaos—thanks to our fur baby, Phoebe, who is very much the queen/spoiled brat of our household. And yes, Marisela officially got John out of his mom’s house, so she’ll never let him forget that!

We’re both very social and outgoing, loving any chance to be around our family and friends. Our shared passion for travel has taken us on some incredible adventures, and we’re always looking forward to planning the next one. Whether it’s exploring a new destination or enjoying the simple moments at home, we find joy in doing it all together.

At the heart of it, we’re just two people who found each other at the right time, and we haven’t looked back since. Life is better when shared, and we can’t wait to see where this journey takes us—always together, always with love (and maybe with a few more trips thrown in for good measure!).
