Vanessa and Devinne first met online in 2018. After a few days of exchanging texts, they found out that they both worked in different parts of Rhode Island Hospital. Vanessa as a medical assistant at Brown Dermatology and Devinne as a Mental Health worker on Hasbro Children’s Hospital’s Behavioral Health Unit. They decided to meet up in person, so Devinne picked Vanessa up from work one day to take her out to Baja’s for tacos on Thayer St. (side note: Vanessa got into a car with a complete stranger without sending anyone Devinne’s license plate or description—Good thing Devinne wasn’t a psychopathic serial killer). lol. After getting to know each other a bit and realizing neither of them were being catfished, they decided to go out on a real, official date that weekend to go bowling. (Unbeknownst to Vanessa, Devinne spent the entire day shopping for an outfit just to try and be cute for Vanessa). When Devinne picked Vanessa up for their date that night, the first thing she said when Vanessa got in the car was “I have a serious question for you…..Do you want me to let you win, or you want me to whoop that ass in bowling” lol. Vanessa responded “You better not let me win”. And Devinne knew, at that moment, that Vanessa could hold her own ground. They spent the night bowling (Devinne Won, by the way), talking, laughing, and getting to know each other over drinks……And the rest……Was history.

Picture it, Boston, 2021…It was Valentine’s Day weekend and I had planned a weekend getaway for us at the Bostonian Hotel in Boston, MA. I booked a beautiful room with a cute little terrace balcony overlooking Faneuil Hall. To Vanessa’s knowledge, it was just a couple’s get away for us to celebrate Valentine’s Day. However, unbeknownst to her, I had a lot more up my sleeve. Valentine’s Day was on a Sunday, so I specifically planned the proposal for the Saturday (so as not to be so cliché). My game plan? Tell Vanessa that she had to stay in the bathroom while I got the room ready for her surprise. On the terrace balcony, I had placed LED light up letters that spelled out “Marry Me” and spread sunflowers (her favorite flower) around the balcony and the LED letters. The time was now……….I blind-folded Vanessa (wait for the kicker) and brought her to the balcony where I knelt behind her with the ring, (which was Vera Wang-Her requirement for an engagement ring lol) I asked her to remove her blind fold and when she did….*crickets and what felt like a very long pause* …As I started to panic, I saw her lean forward. Suddenly, she turned around with her hand over her mouth in shock, to me on one knee with a ring in my hand. And she said yes!!!! {Side note: The pause was because I forgot to have her put her glasses on with the blindfold, so she struggled to read the “marry me” letters on the terrace with her bad vision. Lmao} .....And the rest was history. Now, she’s stuck with me lol
