We met through our mutual gaming friend group. Very quickly, we both felt a strong connection with each other. We spent the first few years of our relationship only being able to see each other a few times a year. Despite this obstacle, we prospered and our connection deepened. After four and a half years we are ready to tie the knot.

We were at a botanical garden and viewing the light shows throughout the trail. Towards the end of the night, we came to a hall of arches covered in lights. As I was getting ready to take a picture, I turned around and saw Manny on one knee and he popped the question.
