It's all happening!

Kansas City, April 17, 2015 They met. They were both there that weekend taking a chance in life, but little did they know that choice would introduce them to their soul mate. Abby always said that meeting Ray was love at first sight, but little did she know that Ray took notice of her in a picture he saw a month prior, and was immediately taken by her beauty. Not knowing that was inside was much more beautiful then the outside. In a hotel lobby it all began. They just smiled and knew instantaneously that what they felt was more than just Physical Chemistry, it was an emotional, physical and mental connection and attraction that they've never felt before. Time passed and they would see each other in different business events throughout the country, but never solidified their relationship due to goals they were trying to reach, Abby focusing on her son, and just life in general.

But one day Abby reached a little goal and said. "I guess I can give him a shot now... (Just kidding) But after things settled down they gave their so called friendship a chance. Only Obstacle being that Abby lived in Atlanta and Ray in NY, but even though they were hundreds of miles away their love grew stronger each day. They had a nightly ritual of praying together before bed and that commitment with God and each other took their relationship to another level on 03/20/16. Ray said: "Would you like to take my last name?" And with hundreds of miles between them an unbroken bond was formed.

Ray tried planning the proposal by himself but realized he needed Abby’s besties help (Kiana & Janeth) This was a puzzle… Janeth and Abby were planning a “surprise b-day party” for Kiana, surprise Kiana didn’t know about. And at the same time Janeth, Kiana and Ray were planning the proposal and of course Abby didn’t know. Feb 2, 2018 Abby and Kiana went to get their nails done, both knowing & not knowing what was going to happen later on, which was funny because Kiana was lying to Abby and Abby was lying to Kiana, while Janeth & the guys were running around setting everything for BOTH big surprises! Finally Abby & Kiana arrived! Kiana was surprise with a cake, candles, banner, family and balloons, we all sang HBD, we ate and start the Karaoke... Ray dedicated a song to Abby (Siempre te voy a querer) which is one of their favorite song and at the end of the song, Ray got on his knees and popped the question. With tears and a big smile Abby said YES! See you All at the Wedding ❤
