Pixar and Airbnb teamed up earlier this summer to bring the beloved Up House to life. For one real-life couple, the house is now the home of a wonderful memory – getting engaged!
The couple, Heitor and Lua, from Joinville, Brazil were together for six years when Heitor was trying to devise a special way to propose to Lua. When he saw Airbnb’s announcement in May for the Up House coming in the summer, he realized it would be the perfect location. Lua is a big fan of the Pixar film, and the couple has always felt a connection to Carl and Ellie. Heitor was one of the lucky fans chosen for the once-in-a-lifetime stay, affirming that this was meant to be.
While staying at the magical property, Lua and Heitor connected with the natural wonders surrounding the Up House in New Mexico, including hiking, canoeing, and a sunset picnic in the canyons. While the couple was inside the house working on their own Adventure Book photo album, just like Carl and Ellie’s in the film, with the sentimental soundtrack playing in the home, Heitor got down on one knee and proposed in the living room — and Lua said yes!
Happy that Heitor and Lua got engaged in the Up House?
