We're getting married!

Our mutual friend, Cristina, was having her going away party at a bar. While sitting at the bar's patio, another friend, Sarah, and Michelle were playing with filters on Snapchat, and of course that's when David walked in. Michelle looked up and thought he was cute, but could not remember his name! We all decided to go inside, and Michelle saved a seat, hoping David would sit next to her..he did! Luckily, a new person showed up and introductions happened again, so Michelle finally learned David’s name. Michelle and Sarah continued to play with filters when David said "Have you tried face swap?" And that was that, we talked the rest of the night.

Michelle's favorite holiday is Christmas, so every year since we first started dating, we would go on Christmas light dates. In 2020, Michelle was living in San Marcos, so she and David decided to explore the lights there. We first walked around Plaza Park where the lights are all red and white. Then we went to The Square, which is downtown San Marcos. We love walking around The Square and trying new restaurants in the area. When we got there, we were disappointed by the lack of lights. We noticed there were tons of lights on archways and trees, but they weren't on, so we went around to every tree and archway and turned them on. The Square was lit up and beautiful. In a corner, there was a giant picture frame decorated with huge ornaments, and of course, lights. We had to wait for a family to finish taking pictures in front of the frame, then it was our turn. We started taking pictures, and then David asks "Are you ready to upgrade your diamond?" referring to the senior ring I just got. He got down on one knee, and Michelle doesn't remember a word he said...she was just jumping up and down saying "Is this real?" David asked Michelle "will you marry me?" and continuing to jump up and down, she said yes!
