When we first started communicating, we didn’t think much of it. After weeks of back and forth, we decided to meet up after a long day of work, and we both said, “I'm up for a movie!" for Mike. He says it was when he saw my smile that it just clicked. He told me, on our first date, "you know we are going to be together for a while, right?" Little did I know he could predict the future.
On my 25th Birthday, Mike told me that we would be revisiting the same place we went for our second date for the weekend; San Francisco. I figured something was up because he got a new suit for our trip and made me pick out three dresses. The night of my birthday, I would have family dinner and leave for San Francisco that night. Strangely, Mike was not feeling well and didn't make it. After dinner was over, Mike came to pick me up for our trip. Shortly after, I received a call from my brother asking me to pick something up for work. After driving back to Hollywood, through all my frustration, I walked into the location and saw a bunch of our family and friends. Everyone yelling, "Surprise!" Not thinking much of it, I was happy to get a surprise party. After socializing and dancing with the people who mean the most to me, it was time to open gifts. Mike started by giving me a NEW camera, then a BLUE pair of headphones, an OLD picture of my mom and me then I got one earring, which my best friend Erin yelled out, "Oh that's mine" I guess he had BORROWED it. He then asked for a toast and said, "I have the most important question I will ever ask you," and he asked, "can you give me two glasses for our champagne?" To my surprise, that was not what I thought he was going to ask. Then when I turned around from retrieving the champagne flutes, I saw Mike down on one knee. Will you marry me!
On the anniversary month of when we first met, we will be leaping into our journey as Mr. And Mrs. Clay. Saturday, May 28, 2022
