Gabriel: We honeymooned in Brazil and visited the same beach town Edward and Bella had gone to.

Gabriel: He’s a big Twilight fan.

Gabriel: I realized it during the boat ride.

Gabriel: I’d wanted to take him to the house where they filmed the sex scene where they’re breaking everything, but you can’t go. It’s private.

Gabriel: So I just looked in from the gate, thinking, They fucked over there.

Adrian: I once took her to this super-beautiful secret beach.

Natalia: It had rained that day, so we had to walk through some gnarly terrain to get there.

Adrian: It was almost sunset and we had a couple of drinks—the vibes were great.

Natalia: It was all cuddles, until it was time to leave....

Adrian: We got back to the car and I couldn’t find my keys. I’d left them on the beach. My phone was dead, she only had 1 percent, and it was pitch-black out. She was in her bikini. We only had one towel.

Natalia: He was so embarrassed, but I was just happy that we had a little bit more time together.

Alfonso: We met at my restaurant. I opened it up after hours for her, her friend, and a friend of mine. It was a double date.

Cenit: He made some tacos and said I should check out brunch the next day.

Alfonso: When she came in, I forgot about all the other tables.

Cenit: The food was amazing. I was like, I think I like this guy.

Alfonso: I lived on the second floor of the restaurant, and she liked it so much, she never left. I would go down and cook for her at all hours. Once, I went back upstairs and she was in one of my shirts playing Mortal Kombat. That’s when I knew I might have met the one.

Daymé: He saw me on TV.

Pablo: I was delighted by her music. I was talking to a colleague about this woman I saw dressed all in white who sang barefoot, and she was like, “Oh, she’s my friend. She lives next door.”

Daymé: That was my best friend. She and I have known each other since I was 8 years old and she was 12.

Pablo: She said, “Let’s go knock on her door.” But you weren’t home; you were traveling.

Daymé: When I got back, my friend was like, “I met a guy who I believe is in love with you.”
