Raul and I met dancing at Cowboys Red River in Dallas. My cousin Alba invited me out with her friends and I initially declined. I was eventually "convinced" and Raul asked me to dance. Our time together that night was short but it made a big impact- and the rest has been history.

Raul and his family invited me to spend Thanksgiving with them in Florida. Again, I initially declined since I usually spend Thanksgiving at my Parents'. My family was so supportive and I was eventually "convinced". I was then told to prepare an outfit for a "family photoshoot". Again, I initially declined but was eventually "convinced" to be a part of it. After several photo shots and laughs, Raul got down on one knee I said YES in Panama City Beach, Florida as the sun set on November 24, 2020. That was a decision that didn't require convincing.
