How it all began
It all started back in 2017 when Alex and Yesenia were both working at Plymouth Place, a retirement home. Yesenia had her eye on the new guy at work but Alex was completely clueless. Yesenia tried everything to get him to notice her, from walking by his area at just the right times to carefully planning her break schedule. But no matter what she did, it seemed like Alex was laser-focused on his work and completely oblivious to the girl trying to catch his attention.
Luckily, a mutual friend finally stepped in and made the introduction that Alex and Yesenia clearly needed. And you know what they say - the rest is history!
The real magic happened when they took their first trip together to Tennessee. Away from the daily grind, surrounded by mountains and making memories, Yesenia knew this was it - she never wanted to spend another day without Alex by her side.
And for Alex, that trip was when the lightbulb really went off. He found himself daydreaming about their future, making plans and dreaming up all sorts of tomorrows with Yesenia in them. Sometimes you just know when you've found your person, you know?
So here they are, from missed connections at work to planning forever.

“The truly romantic things in life are those little things you do every day to show you care, and that you’re thinking of them. It’s going out of your way to make them happy. The way you hold her hand when you know she’s scared, or you save the last piece of cake for him. The random text in the middle of the day, just to say “I love you” or “I miss you”. It’s putting your favorite show on pause so she can tell you about her day, and laughing at his jokes, even the really lame ones. Romance isn’t about buying, it’s about giving. True romance is in the gestures.”
