We met in 2015 when my brother Mario introduced us at Golds Gym. Throughout the following two years we would see each other at the gym, say “hi” and give a wave in passing, but that was the extent of that. After two long years, Tim finally struck up the courage to give me his phone number. I made him wait a couple weeks before I finally messaged him to talk about the Celtics. Obviously our first conversation was pertaining to sports because we all know how big of a sports fan Tim is. And from there the rest was history.
10.13.2018 Tim planned a trip to a couples resort in Ocho Rios, Jamaica to celebrate my birthday. As we were getting ready for dinner our first night, Tim told me to wear “the best outfit” I had packed because he had rented a private island that we were having dinner on. At the time I did not think much of it other than the usual romantic gestures from Tim, but I was so excited to have dinner on a private island! As we got on the boat to drive over to the island, Tim appeared nervous but I thought it was only because we were on a boat. Dinner was delicious, the service was great, and we could hear the beautiful crash of the waves surrounding us. Towards the end of the evening a photographer came over to take pictures, telling me it was part of the package deal. During the photos the photographer had me face out towards the ocean, and when I turned around Tim was down on one knee. First, I ugly cried and then I screamed, shouted "YES," and we were engaged. The night was like something from a movie. We're so excited to celebrate this next chapter in our lives with you. See you soon!
