We're getting married!!!

When most were locked away at home, we were catching each other's eye! The setting was a distillery - we were both making, bottling, and handing out hand sanitizer in the midst of a pandemic. We were on two different shifts, but our paths crossed! I was working behind the bar about to end my shift when I saw her from a distance. She was walking across the room clearly about to start hers. I briefly looked down and when I looked back up, she was walking straight towards me! I felt that my heart was going to jump out of my chest - She looked so gorgeous, as she always does. We shared each other's names, had a short conversation, and as she began to walk away, she turned back, flipped her hair, smiled, and asked "What's your name again, Tyler?" This was the moment I knew, "I have to know her!". For the next month, we spent time at work learning about each other, laughing, talking, and listening to electronic music (Something we both love so much). The more time we spent together, the better friends we became, and the more we fell in love!

The perfect evening in Eleanor Tinsley park for our beautiful moment! I was able to make it a complete surprise, thanks to some special planning with Griselda's best friend and her husband (Thank you Vicky and Isra!). We came up with the elaborate plan that Griselda and I were going to be the subjects for Isra's bands music video and that I was going to help setup for the video while Griselda went dress shopping with Vicky. The day finally arrived with an early start and Griselda left for her dress shopping adventures! Meanwhile, Isra and I went to pick out the most picturesque spot in all of Eleanor Tinsley park….and we found it! A spot truly good enough for a woman as wonderful as Griselda. A cute little tree at the top of a hill with a gorgeous view of the Houston skyline. I wrapped the tree trunk with lights, put glow sticks on its branches and scattered rose petals around it with two bouquets of her favorite flower (Lilies) underneath. The rain storm from earlier that day cleared up leaving an empty park, as the sunset was just starting! With the scene set and our photographer ready, all we needed was the key actress and she had just arrived! Isra went to meet the girls and I waited at the tree, my heart was pounding but I couldn’t be more excited to ask the woman I love if she would be my wife <3 Moments later she came walking up the hill that overlooked the tree, looking as beautiful as ever. She saw me, smiled and ran over, thinking we were being filmed for the video. We embraced, kissed, and then I turned to our friends and said “Do you all mind if I say something before we start shooting the video?”. Griselda swears this is the moment that she realized that I was going to propose! I held her hands, looked her in the eyes, and told her what she meant to me, how much I loved her, and the fact that I could not imagine a life without her by my side. I got down on one knee and asked, “Griselda Sacramento, will you marry me?!”. SHE SAID YES!!!!
