We’re getting married!

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away…Lupe was the new hire at my office. She grabbed my attention right away and I offered her my assistance in whatever she needed. As time passed we got to know each other more and more. I instantly was enamored by her, her perspective, her jack of all trades essence, and everything really. She rejected me before I could even ask her out. I tried to play it off by denying that claim by telling her I was just trying to be her friend. As fate would have it, my charm was to irresistible (just kidding) and she too began to fancy me. Our first date was at an ice cream parlor, and the rest is as they say history.

I knew about a month after we were in a relationship that Lupe was the one for me. Valentines Day has always been my favorite holiday and this particular one was a 3 day weekend. I took her to my favorite city- Santa Cruz, CA and gave her a tour. My siblings came along and they helped validate my excuse of traveling up north. I had told her it was to show them campuses. I hired a photographer to capture the moment. She had no idea. We went to Natural Bridges State beach to watch the sunset. I asked her to pose for a picture with me and Proceeded to get down on one knee. Every word I planned to say was forgotten but the easiest question I ever asked was not. Spoiler alert, she said yes ;)
