Manny, Adela, and I were on a family trip to Chicago with my parents in June of 2016. I wanted to show Manny where I grew up in Illinois and introduce him to some of my family, along with taking in the sights of the city. One of the places Manny was interested in seeing was Willis Tower (we insisted he called it Sears Tower). We went up to the Skydeck, took in the sights, and waited in line to take our picture on the glass ledge. When it was our turn we took our picture as a family of three and then Manny wanted a picture of just us two. I turned to hand Adela to my mom and when I turned back to Manny he was smiling as he got down on one knee. The crowd around us went quiet, and you could only hear the clicking of the camera above us as he asked me to marry him. I was absolutely shocked. So much so, my reaction was “Yes...Holy Shit!” My dad captured the whole thing and now the video is one of Adela’s favorite things to watch.
