We met on Aug 18, 2016, during a busy Friday night at BJ’s restaurant. Maricela was a server and Kenneth was a line cook. The moment Kenneth laid eyes on Maricela, he could not stop smiling. Which made Maricela very nervous and shy, for all she could say was “Hello, I’m Maricela.” Kenneth had the biggest smile on his face and introduced himself. He immediately knew he wanted to get to know her better and asked for her number.
Monterey is very special to both Maricela and Kenneth. Their first family day trip with Maricela’s family was spent in Monterey. During this trip, Juanita and Anthony got to know who Kenneth was as a person and also saw how much Maricela and Kenneth loved each other. On March 30, 2019 Maricela and Kenneth took a trip to Monterey. During this trip, Kenneth kept talking about marriage, having a home, and having kids with Maricela. Little did she know that Kenneth was planning on proposing during one of their trips to their beloved town. On May 2, 2019 Kenneth asked Maricela to marry him while they were sitting and looking at beautiful view at Perkins Park, Monterey.
