Tim and Maria met online, and after a few weeks, Tim asked her out to dinner. With no expectations, Maria agreed. They met at Botanero on a crisp October evening, where laughter flowed easily, and Tim playfully ate the flower from Maria's cocktail. As the night ended, Tim walked Maria to her car and kissed her—a warm, gentle moment under the parking lot lights.

Their connection deepened through texts, and soon after, Tim offered a unique second date choice: build a rocket, have a picnic, or visit the zoo. Maria picked the zoo, where they wandered hand in hand, talking about cheetahs and sharing laughs. From that day on, everything felt natural—they found not just love but a best friend and a badass partner in crime.

Now, they're excited to say "yes" to forever and celebrate with their family and friends.
