HOW WE MET

We met at our previous job named Target. We were both working long shifts and I asked Mario if he could help me because I was working in a different department. We could feel the spark between us and I was DYING to know if Mario had a girlfriend at the time (I found out he was single). That following weekend, we coincidentally saw each other out at the bar. We both exchanged words and as I was leaving, I had asked for his snapchat (I know cheesy, but Mario asked me for my number later). Then our story began from there.

THE PROPOSAL

09.26.2021

Mario told me ahead of time we were going to do a photoshoot with his sister Lala who is a professional photographer. He chose our favorite beach spot in Michigan City, IN. Towards the end Lala had me turn around for a picture and pretended that she was taking a photo of him behind my back. Soon as I know it, she told me to turn around and there Mario was on one knee. He had said a heartfelt speech and in that moment we shared tears of joy. We had two bottles of champagne and a dozen roses after I said yes.
