I met Zully during an ordinary service call for the house she lived in. At the time, she was living in New York as an Au-pair for a family in Queens. We began to date but we both knew our time together had an expiration date because she had to eventually return home to Colombia. We decided to try a long distance relationship to see if it would work. I flew to visit her a few times and got to know her family. Flying back and forth was really hard, saying goodbye after every trip was even harder. We realized our love was real and that we were meant to be together.

Zully had always wanted to visit Niagara Falls. We decided to take at trip in the Spring of 2016 for a weekend getaway. I thought this would be the perfect opportunity to ask her to spend the rest of her life with me. After a romantic late night dinner, we decided to see the Niagara Falls Light Show. We walked around until I found the perfect spot to pop the question. I had my camera ready and pretended to be taking photographs of the falls. Little did she know I was setting up the camera on the tripod to capture this very moment. I got in the shot, told her how much I loved her and got on one knee. She held her face and the tears began as she shook her head yes.
