How We Met

As soon as we stopped searching, we found each other! We crossed each other’s paths at a friend’s party and didn’t think too much of it. It began with only physical attraction, but continued with many common interests. We talked for hours, getting to know one another. There was never a dull moment between us! Nothing, but contagious smiles and unexpected warmth. Without having to verbally say anything, we fell in love with each other by the end of the night.

The First Date

October 6, 2012

Not only was this the night when I officially became his, but it was the cutest night I could never forget! The beginning of the night reminded me so much of prom night. Guy shows up at your house with a dozen red roses, looking more handsome than ever. Your parents wanting to capture every moment on camera. He drives you to the fanciest restaurant in the county. It was all too adorable and romantic. But the most memorable part of the evening was AFTER the dinner. He drives me to a nearby beach, Leo Carillo (our second home!) He has me wait for a few minutes near the car while he heads down to the caves of the beach. He calls me down to him and as soon as I turn the corner, there was a lit up heart shaped by candles accompanied by a warm blanket with fruit and wine laying on top. Inside of the candlelit heart were even more candles, asking exactly this... “J + M = ?” He stole my heart from the very beginning. There was no thinking twice. <3

The Proposal

February 12, 2018

Together, we planned the most amazing trip to Cabo. Little did I know, he was planning a ring! From our resort, we drove to a beautiful private beach called Playa Balandras, just two days before Valentine’s Day. He insisted on doing a little hike up to the top of the sea cliffs before relaxing on the beach. We reached to the very top and oh my, what a breathtaking view it was! I’ve never seen the ocean so blue and big! I never wanted to leave. We started heading down the rocks towards the beach. I was walking ahead of him at the time. He asked me to turn around. And when I did, he was down on one knee! He called me by my full name and described our amazing relationship within seconds. Finally, he asked me the biggest question I’ve been waiting to hear for 5 years! He placed the ring on my finger and from that second on, everything changed! I’m still floating ‘til this day! It’s so exciting to know that I’ll be marrying my best friend!

For all the days along the way
