I had just started my new job at Wyndham and was still pretty shy around everyone. This one tall guy on the overnight shift catches my attention and our interactions start minimal, just a few jabs here and there and me asking the supervisor where the "ogre" is on his days off. One thing leads to another and our attraction to each other turns into hanging out and finding out all of our nerdy similarities and eventually dating.
It was during our first full day in Tokyo, Japan that my life was changed for the better. I was already full of excitement for being in a new country for the first time. We had just spent the entirety of the day inside Tokyo Tower experiencing a One Piece exhibit when we decided to head back to our place to rest up and charge our phones before heading out somewhere else in Tokyo. It was in a quiet street blooming with cherry blossoms and a lit up Tokyo Tower in the background that Cristian called for my attention from skipping ahead and got down on one knee. I do not think I will ever be so shocked and excited in my life. Truly the most perfect vacation.
