I had already picked out my wedding ring. We knew we were going to get married before Belén’s first birthday. It was the day we had gone to pick up my ring that he asked me before heading out to work. He had ordered the biggest arrangement of flowers and a heart-shaped plaque that said, te casas conmigo? Three months later, we got married before a judge in Downtown Chicago. We have been married for the last 7 years. (3-15-2014).
