Yesenia and Salvador met in today’s modern way: by matching on the dating app Hinge in the Fall of 2022. Their first date wasn’t your typical one at all—it started with a hot Summer weather day in mid-October at the Spirit of Halloweentown. And as the day progressed, and they traveled back and forth between Portland and Vancouver exploring more of their surroundings while getting to know each other, little did they know that they had spent a whole 12 hours together. However, even though they spent half as much time together on their second date, the time went by just as fast as before. And they've been together ever since. Yesenia and Salvador’s proposal was definitely personal. Salvador planned to propose to Yesenia during their upcoming trip to the Oregon Coast to celebrate the start of the summer as a couple—but that didn’t end up happening. So Salvador decided to improvise it by going local. During a sunset walk along the Washougal Waterfront Park, Salvador and Yesenia sat down on a bench surrounded by trees, water and a cooling breeze. As Salvador looked over at Yesenia, he recited a poem that he had written her, then got down on one knee. The ring was presented, hugs and kisses were shared, and it was an amazing/intimate experience. We're so excited for you to join us as we say "I do" at our wedding in October of 2023. See you soon!
