We met while taking Anthropology class at Sacramento City College. It was one of those classes were you do a 2 hour lecture and a 3 hour lab directly after (awful). Eddie approached me right before lecture was about to start, about 2 weeks in, and asked "Hey, where did you get your Mac?" (as in, my MacBook). "Has this guy never heard of the Apple Store", I thought? From that point on Eddie ever so casually began sitting next to me in lab and lecture and occasionally tried to copy my homework. I guess you can say it was history from there!
We had traveled to Portland, OR for Eddie's cousin's wedding in Washington. We were out on the town July 6th with close friends and were trying to decide next were to go. It was about 12:30 AM (so technically July 7th) and I was getting tired so I kept suggesting to just go back to the AirBnb (I wanted sleep!) "No, no, no let's just walk around downtown and see what we can find". So I drug my feet and we walked around downtown. Once we came across a park we separated hands and started looking in different directions. When I turned around Eddie was holding the ring and got down on one knee. He was so nervous but also had the biggest smile on his face. Huge kudos to Arty for taking photos and Megan for making me feel like a Queen!
