Our Love Story
First Met
January 2017
Rachel and Noel first met while working together at Salsas. They were friends for six months, getting to know each other and making fun memories along the way. They bonded over video games, which is when their competativeness began. Both of them also love talking about video editing, movies and had the same taste in music. They discovered they have alot in common and started hanging more often. As they continued getting to know each other better, they were inseparable and grew closer together.
First Date
June 2017
Noel thought of taking Rachel to the Strand during an annual art walk for their first official date. While they were there, Rachel took Noel to her favorite restaurant in that area, the All Star Drug Store. The two of them got cheeseburgers and split a milkshake, then they took a stroll to LaKings and the Chocolate Factory, where they got some sweet treats. A couple of weeks later, Noel had an idea after remembering Rachel's favorite animal. He took her on a dolphin tour boat ride, where he asked her to be his girlfriend. Of course Rachel had to say 'YYYAAASSS'!
Promise Day
June 2018
After a year of being together, Rachel and Noel decided to celebrate by taking a road trip to San Antonio.
It was always on Rachel's bucket list to swim with dolphins, but that wasn't the only highlight of their anniversary.
Noel had been preparing to surprise her with an unforgattable token of his love for her.
Both of them had a unique lunch at 750-foot-tall restaurant, the Tower of the Americas, where Noel gifted Rachel with a promise ring and poem.
Noel had planned and waited for this day for almost a full year.
Engagement Day
December 2022
Noel tricked Rachel into believing she was secretly helping the family plan a surprise birthday lunch for him. She was so excited to be apart of his surprise, little did she know he was the one who was planning with family to surprise her with the proposal. Noel coordinated with both families and close friends to be on the seawall at the dolphin statue, with a set of LED letters that read..Marry Me!!... She had no idea what was about to happen, on their way to where she thought his was surprise birthday lunch was supposed to be. Noel had a friend make a fake phone call for help with his car. Rachel was so worried because this was going to put them behind schedule of when they were to meet with everyone. Right before heading to meet his friend, Noel pulled over to the seawall and handed her a small gift he had hidden in his truck. Rachel was very confused after opening it because inside the box was a puzzle piece. He asked her to put it on a blindfold because he had a little surprise for her. Once she put it on, Noel lead Rachel to awaiting family and friends. When Noel told Rachel to remove the blindfold, she saw everyone there and they shouted SURPRISE!! When she turned around, Noel was on one knee with the ring in hand. He then popped the question and she was confused seeing all the people there, because it took a minute for her to realize what was happening. Soon after there came the tears of happiness, hugs all around, and of course a YES to his question.
