Meredith and Tomas first met back in 2009 at Cypress Ridge in Houston, TX. Even though they had a secret crush on each other they did not date in high school. Little did they know, a few years later they would cross paths and start their life long journey together.
December 22, 2016, the day Tomas and Meredith celebrated their fourth anniversary and the day Meredith said YES to spending forever with the man of her dreams! They started off the evening with a special dinner and then Tomas surprised Meredith by pulling up to the magical christmas lights in downtown Houston. After a walk around the neighborhood, listening to Christmas music and admiring the thousands of lights, Tomas led Meredith to a huge tree in the center of the neighborhood where hundreds of lights glistened. As they stood there, Tomas asked Meredith to take a selfie, even though they had asked others to take their pictures. This threw Meredith off even more, being that Tomas does not like pictures! Right when Meredith turned to Tomas to take the selfie, Tomas was on one knee asking Meredith to spend the rest of her life with him! The moment brought tears to both of their eyes and strangers around started applauding and cheering. That day will forever be cherished and now Meredith knows when Tomas asks for a selfie, she should be prepared for some type of surprise!
