How you met: “I had heard of Eleazar through a mutual friend. We officially met at Bernie’s Bungalow Lounge one night and after that he messaged me on Instagram. We haven’t stopped talking since.”

How they proposed: “We were in Maui with another couple. It was my birthday. We were driving on the road to Hana and we were planning on taking couple pictures with matching Hawaiian outfits. The road was very dangerous and narrow but had the most amazing views. It started to rain on the way there and the sun was starting to set so we decided to cut the road-trip short. We pulled up to a trailhead that lead to a waterfall. We hiked 1.5 miles up a muddy trail not really knowing what we were going to find as this wasn’t the spot he had anticipated. We were all wearing floral print and sandals definitely not dressed for all that. We ended up finding a bridge and a beautiful waterfall! We posed for a picture as our friends were actually recording and then he knelled to the ground and pulled out the most beautiful ring and I started sobbing.”
