Well actually I knew his mother first, being that we were neighbors in Port Arthur, Tx, and she would always brag about her son to me, her son this and her son that and how we should meet. I remember she would see me at the store and be like here Bryan on the phone (handing me the phone) and of course I'd be like ok (signaling her to not give me the phone) acting shy I guess you would call it. Eventually she finally got us on the phone together and we spoke, made a little conversation and from there it was on. LOL! Then we friended each other on Facebook, and I knew just from the intelligent conversation we had he was a potential boyfriend. We texted and chatted on the phone for about a month, which made me dig him even more, we used to be so bucked up when we would Facetime each other just like some high school teenagers or something. Fast forward two weeks later he caught a flight to Houston, Texas to come for a visit and I picked him up from the airport and that was the beginning of Us.

So I had it all planned out I was going to propose at The Christmas Light Show on the beach. I called and spoke with the Director of the show. They helped me to figure out exactly how things would go. But as they say you want to make God laugh tell him your plans. IT RAINED CATS AND DOGS from morning all the way to the evening which prompted the light show to be canceled due to the bad weather. Then I had to figure out a plan B. Already had family coming in so I immediately told them to just meet us at the Silver Slipper casino and that I was just going to do it there. We all got together and ate dinner as a normal family would but little did Mychael know everyone was there for the proposal. Keep in mind it was Christmas time, so there was a gigantic Christmas tree decorated so beautifully and in that moment, I knew that it should be done right there. I was so nervous, about what her answer would be when I popped the big question even though I already knew that she would accept because I kind of snuck the question in a month before. So after dinner as we exited the restaurant, soon as we got in front of the tree again, I got down on one knee and I asked my queen to be my wife.
