We're so excited to celebrate with you! Estamos muy felices de poder celebrar con ustedes!

We met at the restaurant I (Alicia) worked at. He came in with a childhood friend and sat in my friend Diana’s section, I went over to say hi and he was all giddy and smiles. We went out as a group many times to Buffalo Wild Wings and soon it was just him picking me up from work to grab a Dr. Pepper from Wendy’s. He LOVES Dr. Pepper, just ask him about it. Just kidding!

He picked me up after work one day to sneak out and get a Dr. Pepper from Wendy’s before I had to go back to my car and drive home and I could tell he was nervous but wasn’t 100% sure why. By this time we had been texting a lot and had been become really good friends. When I got home from work he called me he sounded SO nervous! I knew what was about to happen. In spanish he asked me to be his girlfriend and without any hesitation I said YES! He said “really?” A few days later we went on our first date to walk in a park!

We go to Destin, Florida every year for vacation and for that summer we decided to rent a huge home to share our beach experience with both of our families. I had booked a photographer to take professional pictures of everyone on the beach. When it was our turn to take family pictures he seemed a little nervous but I took it as his natural nervousness to being in the spotlight. We then proceeded to take couples pictures and I had my hand against his chest and his heart was pounding and it felt like it was going to leave his body! When we were done taking pictures I was about to walk away and he held me and said “one more” and when I turned around he was on his knee and asked me to marry him!! I was so shocked that I said “I don’t know what to say!” and he proceeded to say “”Say yes!” Obviously I knew that I wanted to marry him but at that moment it just felt like it was so surreal! With tears in our eyes we knew that this moment was exactly what we were waiting for for so many years! We have always talked about marriage but it never occurred to me that he would have been proposing on this day!
