Our first date was a perfect mix of excitement and nervousness, it was the beginning of something that would change our lives forever. We went to Alex's favorite restaurant, Taxco. We were both so nervous, but the moment we started talking, all the butterflies went away. As the night went on, we couldn't help but feel like we were exactly where we were meant to be. That first date was the start of a journey that would lead to forever with each other.
Our engagement was truly unforgettable-everything I could have hoped for and more. On my birthday, surrounded by all of my closest family and friends, Abe made the moment even more special by getting down on one knee. The love in the room was palpable, and I felt so surrounded by love and support from everyone who mattered most to us. As Abe asked me to spend the rest of my life with him, my heart skipped a beat. It was overwhelming and perfect, all at once. I'll never forget the joy and surprise I felt, knowing that this incredible person, with such thoughtfulness and love, was the one I could marry. That moment, shared with all our loved ones, made our engagement feel even more magical-like our lives were being celebrated not just by us, but by everyone who's been part of our journey. Saying "yes" on my birthday will always be one of the most beautiful and unforgettable moments of my life.
