Ever think something as simple as a smile would change your life forever? Lorenzo didn’t think so until Erika acknowledged his and made it known that it lit up the room. Through a mutual friend Lorenzo and Erika became lovers in an instant and did not hesitate to make it known. Although Lorenzo did not take it serious in the beginning, he asked her out one day to a night of fun and laughter. Seeing her for the very first time, he could not believe his eyes, stepping out of her car, walking towards him he knew she would be the one he’d spend the rest of his life with. Talking over champagne and strawberries, dancing the night away together and spending each day with each other afterwards, Lorenzo knew. Erika was a beautiful, shy and prideful woman who knew what she wanted and went after it, Lorenzo a man on a mission but was missing one thing. A companion to set sail with on those missions, someone to push harder for other than himself, someone to feel good about when they accomplished their dreams, someone who would love him for him. Erika was that companion and he realized it oh so quickly, she recognized him with validity and took a leap of faith. The lovers became parents to a beautiful Serenity Leigha Mauldin and it just didnt feel complete. Lorenzo knew what had to be done, he’d found his life partner, created a beautiful human being and started a family. “A queen isn’t a queen unless she is able to sit beside him with the name of her king” Lorenzo thought, so he gathered friends and family during one of the worst times in THE WORLD (Covid-19), shed some light on the darkness and asked for her hand in marriage.
