They met on September 30, 2017. Jennifer attended a party with a friend, and Jesus was there with his family. Neither of them planned to go that night, but for some reason they did. They ended up sitting at the same table with mutual friends they had. Jesus and Jennifer went to the same high school but never saw each other until that night. It may not have been love at first sight, but it was definitely the start of something.

Jesus proposed to me on New Years Eve. We decided to have everyone over at my house for New Years and ring in the new year with family. It was a fun night filled with laughing, drinking, and lots of dancing. About 20 minutes before midnight, Jesus told me to go with him to his parents house because he needed to get something. When we got there he basically locked himself in the restroom and I sat down to wait. It was about 15 minutes until midnight, and I was getting impatient because I didn’t want to miss the clock hit 12:00 with our families. He finally came out and got me in the car and walked away! He came back around with a beautiful bouquet of roses, my favorite. We headed back to my house. He made me carry my flowers up until the entrance to the tent. I couldn’t see a thing over it. My mom grabbed them from me and Jesus led me inside the tent. I still had no clue. Then “Stay With Me” by John Legend started playing, and I saw what was set up inside. A trail of rose petals and candles leading to photos of all our adventures together. There was more rose petals and candles in the shape of a heart, and right above it a big sign that read “Marry Me”. He got on one knee and I said yes at midnight. We rang in the new year in the best way possible, and with a gorgeous ring on my finger.
