I was falling in and out of sleep since we were picked up from the Orlando airport. We flew the red-eye from Salt Lake City and landed in Florida around 5:30 in the morning. The only thing keeping me barely awake was the thought that in a few hours, I would finally be engaged to the woman I loved. We finally arrived to Cocoa beach 20 minutes before the sunrise. The girls went to the bathroom to get ready; while Cindy, Patrick, Scott and I got everything ready on the beach. We threw down the rose pedals right by the shore and placed about two dozen candles surrounding the rose pedals. I gave Patrick the okay to tell Natalie that I was ready and she could bring Lexi to the shore now. I stood right in the middle of the pedals eagerly waiting for Lexi to join me. After about 2 minutes, I finally saw her walking towards me in her black romper. I remember thinking how beautiful she looked and wishing she could walk a little faster. When she finally made to me on the shore, I put down the flowers I was holding for her. I took her by the hands and began to express how grateful and blessed I felt for having her in my life the past 10 months. I finally got down on one knee and asked her to be my eternal companion. With her beautiful smile, she looked deep into my eyes and gently nodded yes! I slid the ring onto her ring finger and held her tight. I did not want to let her go. I am grateful that her family was able to be there to witness and film that special moment for us. I want to thank them for their love and support. I love Lexi with all my heart. For those that know Lexi, they know how easy it is to love such an incredible woman. Thank you Lexi for being true to who you are. I’m excited to start our small Gutierrez family on November 23, 2019. I love you Crumb.
