We’re getting Married!

We were just teenagers with a dream at the time. Ready to face the world, but unaware of the predestined plan love had in store for us. It was just a regular day in September 2007. First semester of college at University of Houston. I was to meet my best friend on the second floor of the MD Anderson library. She had some friends with her, and one of them was Caleb. I vaguely knew of him because he was friends with her in high school. But as fate has it, he was about to meet me. I was nervous for some reason, probably because my soul knew something my conscious did not. When I arrived, I sat down, decided to look cool and put on my headphones. He asked me a question and I was still so busy trying to look cool by blasting music thru headphones, the others at the table had to get my attention. However, he just chuckled and from there we started up a small conversation. The rest, as they say, is history. We started off as acquiescence, then became friends, lovers to now soul mates. We are so excited to begin this next phase of our lives together and can't wait to celebrate with you!

We had been talking about marriage for awhile now as we were both ready to settle down. Caleb mentioned about a ring, and in casual conversation, asked for my ring size. I did not think anything of it and thought it was happening further down the road. Fast forward to Thanksgiving Day 2017, we were at his brother’s, Toriano, house for the holiday. The party was wrapping up and Caleb stated to me, “I want to give thanks to everybody before we leave”. I simply agreed and didn’t think anything of it. Caleb started giving thanks to all his family and friends, and then finally, to me. Before I know it, there was a ring in his hand and he got down on on knee and proposed. And I, whole-heartedly, without a doubt in my mind, said, “Yes”.
