We met at Ambassador Wines! I was hired while Andre was away on his annual vacation to France and he was pissed that he didn't get any say on the new hire. Even though he was dreading meeting the new hire (me), it was love at first sight! We bonded over many rounds of Trivia Crack and he suggested we make things more interesting by placing a bet on the next round: if he won, he got to take me out on a date. Curiously, this was the first round I lost.

When I received the ring, I knew I wouldn't be able to wait much longer to propose. That same day I bought some nice cheeses and meats and a bottle of Delamotte Champagne. I was going to set everything up in our our apartment before Lis got home. When I got to the apartment, I realized I forgot my keys at the store. I never forget my keys but of course, on the day I decide I am going to propose I forget them. I had to anxiously wait for Lis to unlock the door for me while holding the surprises in my bag. When she wasn't looking, I snuck the champagne in the fridge and set up the charcuterie. I finally proposed to her and we celebrated in style even though it didn't go according to plan.
