Our first date. Before we knew that the president would declare a national lockdown, we managed to have our first date right before that happened. Little did we know so much would change. Our first date was at the HMart in Elkins Park, us, unceremoniously dressed - Marianne in a blue T-shirt and Yadiel in his favorite grey and black jacket. We joke often that it was the first date that never ended. Since then, we were inseparable. On March 2nd, on our 5th year anniversary trip, Yadiel proposed to Marianne, both alone on a rocky beach in La Isla Mujeres in Mexico with a hand-made alexandrite ring. The rest is history.
