Our story began 18 years ago when we were just roommates. We shared the same space but lived very separate lives, barely crossing paths and hardly knowing each other. Little did we know, life was quietly setting the stage for something far greater. Over the years, we kept in touch here and there, but it wasn’t until two years ago that everything changed. Around that time, I wrote down and prayed for exactly what I wanted in a husband—someone who embodied the qualities I knew would make for a beautiful, loving partnership. Just two weeks later, as if my prayers were heard loud and clear, we reconnected online. We agreed to a date, and it didn’t take long to realize that he was everything I had prayed for and more. He quickly checked every single box on that list and continues to amaze me every day. What started as a chance reconnection has become the most incredible journey of love, gratitude, and unwavering faith in each other and in God. We feel so blessed to have found each other, and we can’t wait to celebrate this next chapter with all of you by our side.

We took a week-long cruise on the Carnival Jubilee to Mexico—a trip filled with sunshine, relaxing, and unforgettable memories. One day, after spending hours lounging in the sun in Costa Maya, we returned to the ship, got dressed up, found a quiet corner, and shared a bottle of champagne. Later, we decided to head outside to try to catch the sunset. While exploring along the way, we stumbled upon a secluded spot, and as I walked ahead, I suddenly noticed he wasn’t beside me anymore. I turned around and saw him reach into his pocket. There he was, on one knee, holding out the most beautiful ring! My heart raced as he asked me to marry him. I was so excited! I started jumping up and down and happily said, “Absolutely!” It was the perfect moment, one we’ll never forget, and the start of the most incredible journey of our lives together.
