In a twist of fate, the worse time became the best time. Having lost my mom in September of 2020, I was in St Maarten the following Christmas because my concerned friend (Debra) did not want me to be alone, and convinced me to travel with her. The encounter occurred in her sister's backyard as a result of what I later found out to be, his friend (Renee) insisting that he comes to meet me. There was some hesitance on my part, but we eventually talked, and after numerous trips between the US and St Martin (Covid couldn't stop the show!), here we are today!
What was meant to be his 50th birthday celebration with a few surprises, turned out to be a surprise engagement. He used his kids to distract me and at some point, I heard his friend on the mike. I turned around to check out what was happening, and there he was down on one knee. Of course I said "YES," and just like that we were engaged. We're so excited to celebrate this next chapter in our lives with you. Take a look at the additional details including the plans for the weekend, on the pages that follow! See you in St Martin!
