Act I — The Message
Early 2020 a mutual friend told them each separately they should get to know each other. With Carlos living in Atlanta and Corrine living in California, but soon moving to Florida, they both said they weren’t interested in a potential long distance relationship.
Act II – Leave The World Behind
Slide into the DM’s
Well, Carlos took his chances and slid into Corrine’s DM’s anyway. They had small talk for a while and planned to meet in person. Unfortunately, COVID had other plans. With lockdowns and not being able to travel, Corrine and Carlos continued to get to know each other through the phone and apps such as House Party and Zoom for Carlos’s weekly movie night.
Act IV – Return of Dragon
Carlos moved to Orlando in February 2022, with plans to propose and begin a life together. Fast forward to November 5, 2022, Carlos got down on one knee – FINALLY! Then, to somewhat of a surprise, they got married just 6 days later on 11-11-22 in their home surrounded by close family and friends, the day Corrine had been planning for quite some time (she got what she wanted!).
Act III – Want It All or Nothing
They finally got to meet in person in May of 2020 at Another Broken Egg Cafe where they talked for hours, even stayed until the restaurant closed. Their connection continued to grow from that day.
The resistance they both had with being in a long distance relationship was forgotten. Countless trips back and forth from Orlando to Atlanta and Atlanta to Orlando, they quickly found out this is what they wanted forever.
They Established their forever November 11, 2022 and welcomed boy-girl twins in January 2024!
