The first time we met was in Chicago, IL for a church event. We had seen each other multiple times before and knew of each other through mutual friends, but never had the chance to connect personally. I lived in Cleveland and he lived in L.A., but social media really helped to close the gap. Almost a year and a half later we started talking and we got serious almost immediatley. The rest is history!!

Antonio flew into Cleveland for a long weekend to celebrate my college graduation. It had been four months since we last seen each other, and we were going on 18 months of dating long distance. On the night of the proposal, we went to a local beach to walk around and watch the sunset. We were talking about our future when Antonio pulled the ring out to propose. I had no clue that Antonio arranged my cousin and best friend to meet us and capture the whole thing right behind me.
