Reader's Digest Version: We met in February of 2015 (as blind dates). Arturo introduced himself as "Art" when we initially chatted via text messages to setup a date. The first picture I saw of him was this facial profile picture with the beach in the background and a scarf wrapped around his head. After seeing this photo, I thought he was some adventurous (world traveler), slightly pale (i.e. white) guy...which is neither here nor there. But, I bet you can only imagine my surpise when I met Arturo for our blind date and heard his thick Colombian accent (accents excite me). LOL! After our first date, Arturo claims that he was in love...but weeks or maybe even months later, he told me for the first time that he love me. Six months later, he made his first proposal of marriage but, our official engagement date was March 18, 2016 ( I made him wait a year). :-) And now we, Arturo & I will be officially married on July 16, 2017 in the presence of you, our family and friends.
