Tookes met her future husband back in 2016 when the pair worked together on a Snapchat project. The social media app was getting ready to launch a new feature called Group Stories, and the company hired Tookes to help promote it, according to Vogue.
After publicly announcing their relationship, Tookes gave a glimpse of their cute dates, fancy holidays and day-to-day life together on Instagram, much to her fans’ delight.

Borrero’s glamorous proposal (he asked Tookes to marry him with a dazzling 7-carat Ritani diamond ring) only served to build the hype around their lavish nuptials, and the wedding ceremony that followed was indeed nothing less than a fairy tale.
