We're getting married!

We both went to the same local college for our Associate's degree. One day at the campus coffee stop, I was at the register when I decided last minute to buy a snack with my coffee. As I dug in my purse for another dollar, Carlos, who was behind me in line, held out the money and paid for my snack. After that, he tried to talk to me in the hallways every week, but I was always rushing to the next class. About a year later, we saw each other while we were out one night. We talked, exchanged numbers, and kept talking after that.

After a long night of work at Lucy Lu's restaurant in North Dakota, I got picked up by Carlos, who was in a very contagious good mood. We spent the ten minute drive singing along to songs, starting with "Happy" by Pharrell Williams. When I got home, Carlos asked me to look over something on his computer, and he left me to read what turned out to be a heart warming love note. When I was done, I went to him and found a path of rose petals and candles, Carlos at the end on his knee with a ring. Obviously, I said yes.
