Our story began in high school. He noticed me in Spanish class sophomore year, but it wasn’t until senior year—when I commented on a spaghetti photo, my favorite food—that our paths truly crossed and our love began.

During a fishing trip in Rockport, Texas—a place that reminded him of his grandparents—he surprised me with the most perfect proposal. I had no idea he’d planned everything, from convincing me to go to pretending to take pictures at the perfect spot. Shocked, overjoyed, and full of love, I said yes to forever!
