Let me start by thanking Tinder for bringing this wonderful man into my life ♥️ Our first date I was 10 mins late to and considered canceling because, I simply just wanted to go home and take a nap. I ended up showing to Panera & we sat there and talked for hours in the booth. We talked about everything in our minds no small talk, no awkward silence no uncomfortableness of a first date. After our first date this man wanted to see me every other day! He was constantly spending the night with me or leaving my house at 1am. All I could do was soak up all the attention he was giving me. I loved every second of being with him, every emotion he made me feel and all the happiness he brought to my life. I’ll leave this story with my favorite moment from our relationship: The moment I knew I loved him & wanted to spend my life with him: The first time Joseph ever told me he loved me was us laying down watching The Office. He looked at me like if he was starring at my soul and said “I LOVE YOU” all I could say back was “You don’t even know me” 😂 Safe to say I was in shock. Instead of being a guy about it he said calmly “it’s okay you don’t have to say it back, Your eyes tell me how you really feel” . After that moment I knew I wanted him for the rest of my life ♥️

Regina was late for our first date. photos didn’t do her beauty any justice. stunning, beautiful, gorgeous, those are all understatements. Her walking up & meeting for the first time, i just knew. sitting down & talking for 4 hours, I couldn’t get enough. the joy, the peace & happiness she brought was heaven. Sitting across from her I couldn’t help but ask for a kiss, I just couldn’t take it any longer. i knew it then & there, she was the one. I pictured it, us together as a family & it looked so good & it felt so right. Like I said I couldn’t get enough of her, I needed to see her as much as I possibly could. I changed my working hours to spend as much time with her as possible. I was the first one to say I love you, I needed her to know how serious i was & how real it felt. I couldn’t let her slip away. I did everything in my power to show her my love, show her I was dedicated to her & wanted to spend the rest of my life with her. Fast forward to today & i’m able to be engaged to the woman of my dreams. I’m more than excited to spend the rest of my life with her. I love her so much, that her names on my chest.

I had got off work early to go pick up her ring, she was wondering what was taking so long & looked to see where I was. Luckily she saw after I already left the jewlery store & was driving up Scottsdale Rd. She asked why I was in Scottsdale & all I could come up with was I was trying a new way home. I was so excited to have her ring, it looked even better in person. I had the perfect plan to propose. Her birthday Aug 28th, we had a dinner planned with some family & friends so I figured it was the perfect time & a great added surprise to her birthday. I would practice what I was going to say in my head over & over again. I was so excited, couldn’t wait for the night to come. The afternoon of her birthday, just hours before the dinner she took my car to go shopping, I didn’t know how to tell her not to take my car because the ring was in my center consol. She left in such a rush, I didn’t come up with a reason fast enough. Luckily she didn’t find it. Fast forward to dinner, we had everyone there except one person & I wanted to wait for them so they could all be there to see me propose. I had ordered my dinner by that point & didn’t take a bite because I was so nervous & didn’t want to get dirty. Once everyone was there, we all ordered a drink so we toast to Regina. I made sure I started it & was loud enough for everyone to hear. I said Happy Birthday, I love you so much & I can’t wait to spend the rest of my life with you. With that being said, will you marry me? While I was asking her to marry me I was on my knee beside her holding the ring. She looked at me & screamed & said YES! over & over. It was certainly one of the happiest moments of my life. I was so excited & so happy. It made it so special that it was on her birthday & in front of everyone. It’s a moment I replay in my head everyday.
