We met through a work event when Dennis relocated to the building I work at in East Providence. We are both very competitive and decided to challenge one another in a game of pingpong. One game became two and next thing you know, this became our routine and something we both looked forward to during our breaks. Can you guess who was the better pingpong player?

We had traveled to Guatemala in April 2021 and on our last day there, Lupita (his sister), decided she wanted to have a cookout for us to celebrate the homecoming of her little brother. The families were all gathered and we were very excited to see everyone. Towards the end of the night Dennis says to me "let's go inside to dance". Now if you know me, I question everything but because we were having such a great time on this already amazing trip, I didn't question much and decided to go with the flow. As we walked to the backyard and he opened the sliding doors for me to walk through, I was blinded by these lights that read "Marry Me?" and I remember saying "What the?!". I knew he was nervous and his words were beautifully put but I honestly didn't hear much of what he says. I was overwhelmed with joy and tears started rolling down my face as he was on one knee and asked if I would marry him and now, here we are!
