We met at a mutual friend's birthday celebration and did not think anything of one another. After that, we hung out with this same group of friends a few more times but still did not really get to know each other. It wasn't until we went on a friend's weekend getaway to celebrate yet another friend's birthday that we actually started to get to know each other. We shared lots of laughs that weekend and had a great time. As the weekend came to an end and we all drove home, I (Lizette), left not thinking anything would come of this and He (Lionel) lived over 2 hours away. Before I even made it home, Lionel had stolen my number from the group chat and texted me. By the weekend, we had already been on two dates. The rest was........history :)

We are very private people and I knew how much Lizette hates the spotlight but also knew that it would be difficult to plan a proposal without her expecting it. Since Lizette's graduation was coming up soon, I decided to propose at that moment in front of everyone. It was perfect! She would never have suspected that. When she came outside of the arena in front of our family and friends I got down on one knee and Lizette ran away! haha. I was not sure if she would come back so I forgot my speech but she eventually came back and I think she said YES ;). We cannot wait to share this day with all of you!
