We met at work! It took a little while for us to become friends, but our friendship cemented after a late-night trip to Denny's after a work event. A year into our friendship, we started dating. The rest, as the old cliche puts it, is history.
Laura got the opportunity to go down to Mexico with Juan to meet his family for Christmas. On our last night in Mexico, Juan took her to an amazing safari zoo, Africam. It was a great day! We went to a nice restaurant while we waited for the nighttime safari to start, and she was sure it was going to happen then. The Big Question. We'd been talking about marriage for a while by this point, so she knew it was coming. But then, over the course of the dinner, mishap after mishap happened, and so the moment was never right. After dinner, we walked back to the car so Laura could put on a jacket. Juan turned to her in the car and asked if now was a good time. He pulled out a wallet-sized black case and said he has a question to ask her. She said he can ask her anything. Juan asked Laura to marry him, she cried and said yes.
