Ricardo and I met while working for the same hotel company. We crossed paths for six years while we worked in various positions around the hotel until eventually, we both ended up working in banquets in the Spring of 2015. It was busy season for events which meant long hours together. We discovered that we both lived in Downtown, Orlando and Ricardo started asking me to go out with him all the time, each time I declined until one day I reached out to Ricardo to vent about my day. Our friendly drink turned into dinner, which turned into dancing and we ended the night slow dancing when we had our first kiss. Ricardo walked me home and we made plans to go out again the very next day. We have been together ever since.
It was the second to last night of our vacation in California. We had already traveled to Napa Valley, San Francisco, and were finishing off the trip in Half Moon Bay. Ricardo had the idea of having someone take our picture while the sun was setting because we always forget to take photos while on vacation. I didn't think anything of it and was ready smiling for the camera, when out of no where, Ricardo got down on one knee and popped the question! The rest is history.
