Family and friends, thanks for joining us Easter weekend. We look forward to your laughter and encouragement as we embark on our journey to forever.

We met at work on Lashaundra's first day in the office (her office was conveniently located next to mine). She was having a conversation about the Cowboys and I threw in a corny dig all the way from my office (because the NY Giants are MY team) as a way to start a conversation with her. Once we locked eyes, I think we BOTH knew trouble was ahead. Trouble indeed...look at us now. Marching 2 Martinez on March 30th.

I decided to plan a birthday weekend get away to San Antonio to celebrate her 44th birthday. If you know, you know but the 44th birthday held great significance to her and I wanted it to be special and memorable in a good way. We had dinner at the Tower of The Americas. The restaurant was beautiful with great food and dessert to match. Meanwhile, my heart was beating out of my chest (especially with the ring hidden in my pocket) the whole night trying to find the right moment to pop the question. We finally start making our way to the car and as we do, I stop to take some dope pics (fall themed of course) of her. I then told her to close her eyes (of course she was like WHY) and to hold on a second. I got down on one knee and told her to turn around. She stood there covering her mouth in shock with tears in her eyes as I told her...."I know I'm not your first but I want to be all of your lasts, will you marry me?.....she said yes and the rest is Marching2Martinez magic.
