So it all started at a beautiful home on Morris Avenue. Both Blanca and Albert were guests at a house warming party which sent them on a course that would change the rest of their lives. Like usual, Albert arrived late to the party. As he made his way through the house and towards a sliding glass door, he saw the most beautiful site he ever laid eyes upon, Blanca taking a huge bite out of her carne asada taco. Albert made his first move by intentionally stealing her seat at the table when she left her seat for a few minutes. When she came back, Albert broke the ice by asking if that was her seat. She nicely gave up her seat and sat in the empty seat next to him. The evening continued with great food, drinks, and a dip in the pool. Blanca made sure he left the party with her number in hand. They went on their first date a week later.
Albert's proposal was weeks in the making. His original plan was to propose at one of their favorite spots, the beach. However, the weather was not on his side. It was cold for weeks, and Blanca kept declining his requests to go to the beach. It just so happened that Blanca's sister Alicia was in town visiting from Japan for Christmas. Alicia wanted to join in on one of their random adventures and decided she wanted them to take her to the Grand Canyon since she's never been there. Albert realized this was the perfect opportunity to propose. He told Alicia of his plans and together they planned it out while Blanca was taking a nap as she usually does in every road trip. With Alicia capturing every minute with the camera, Albert proposed. She said YES!
