Our love story

Sara and Mar met for the first time on July 21, 2021. It was a rainy summer day in Brooklyn and they had just moved into a new co-living building in Clinton Hill. It was Mar’s first day, and even though they had ten other roommates, Sara was the only one he noticed. They bumped into each other in the living room and agreed to meet later that night on the roof. After talking for hours, they quickly became best friends and spent every day together that summer, and since.

After spending some time in Brooklyn, Sara and Mar were itching for a change of scenery. Although they had only been dating for a few months, they knew what they had was special. They packed up their bags and cat Ivan, and moved across the country together to Los Angeles, CA. After only a year of dating, Mar proposed in Tulum where the couple celebrated their engagement.
