July 3rd 2021: Our first date at the beautiful The Terrance on Delaware, overlooking Hoyt Lake. ...After about 3-4 dates/hang outs I finally realized I liked him. I was being so hesitant and kept coming up with reasons to avoid connecting; "he has too many tattoos" was one of them. I couldn't imagine him any other way now! I knew he was special and different when I had a migraine and he drove an hour away to be with me (we lived an hour away for the majority of our relationship). August 15, 2021- Asked me to be his girlfriend in Salem, MA; my favorite place in the entire world. March 2022- Told me he loved me in New Orleans on a steamboat cruise. This also felt significant to share this special moment here because my dad's journey to America began in New Orleans. August 2023- Our 2 years of seeing each other only on the weekends finally comes to an end and our living together chapter begins. May 23, 2024- We get engaged in...you guessed it, Salem MA; where I became a girlfriend and now became a fiancé. We cannot wait to continue to grow our commitment and head into a new chapter of life together! Here's to June 7th, 2025.
