It's finally happening!

Lynette was always a presence in my life even before we met. 16 YEARS AGO, we added each other on MySpace. Time passed and we continued adding each other on various social media platforms. 4 years ago I finally spotted her at our University. She looked really beautiful and made my head turn. One thing led to another and we began messaging each other. It started as a friendship that quickly developed into a crush. 🥰 After many failed attempts of asking her to meet (she now explains that it was because she was super nervous to meet me lol), she finally invited me out! We planned a meet for dinner. Both nervous, awkward and excited, I knew that night was the start of something beautiful. They say you meet the love of your life before you leave High School. I never believed that until my relationship with Lynette. I'm marrying the girl of my dreams! ❤️

It was a beautiful, breezy morning. Hector told me he would pick me up for brunch #OurTradition #BestMealOfTheDay! 🍳 We went to Bonhomia - the cutest brunch spot I've ever seen. Bonus points because Taylor Swift played the whole time. Great food + amazing music = 🥲 After brunch, he expressed he wanted to "revisit places that were milestones to our relationship" with me. The first place he took me to was the park where he asked me to be his girlfriend. I was happy just to stand on the balcony that overlooked a lake, its ducks, while feeling the crisp air blow through my hair. We walked to the exact bench we sat at 4 years ago. He pulled out his laptop and played me a video showcasing all our memorable moments together. The video was only around 2 minutes, but I relived every smile and moment again. At the end of the video, there was a sign he made that read, "Will you marry me?" and Hector gets up from the bench, gets on one knee and proposes ❤️🥺❤️ We end the day by going to the movies (another place of milestone), where Hector rented out a WHOLE theater for us to watch La La Land! A beautiful end to a memorable, day. 💍
