We are getting MARRIED!

We met working at Famous Dave's. I was promoted to assistant general manager in Hayward September 2017. Juan had came back from a leave of absence and assumed his original position as a line cook in February 2018. He played the boy on the playground chasing the girl he liked and pulling her pigtails, which in turn made my work life a nightmare. For months I did not understand why he was so harsh and rude with me until one night he text me late and confessed his true feelings. He had told me he wanted to be more than friends. (Not even knowing we were friends to begin with) I was completely lost for words, the only thing I could put together for a response was, that I am not allowed to associate with anyone outside of work, let alone date anyone. My response did not even phase Juan, he took it as I am not ready YET, and every couple of months he would check back in with me and ask me to date him. Eventually he told our boss that he would give me the world if I just gave him the chance, so she told me to just "see what happens". In March 2019 I agreed to a "friend's dinner" that night he asked me to be his girlfriend and that time I said yes!

The date itself doesn't hold much value, Juan just had this ring burning in his pocket. That day we were both off, which is rare. We woke up late and he decided to be nice and accompany me to a Target run (he at the time had no idea that a Target run is like 3 hours long). As we were getting out of the car he mentions his mother wanted to have dinner around 3:00, it was 1:00!! We ran through Target and I rushed home to shower and look presentable enough to go to his mom's. Time constraints meant no make-up and definitely no hair, just brush and let air dry. I threw on clothes and gave one last look over and said oh well it is just dinner at his mom's and we come here once a week to just catch up and hang out. We pull up and he says under his breath that he is nervous (I still had no idea) I said about what? That we are late, come on!!! We rush to the door and he tells me to cover my eyes I said for what Juan your mom is waiting and by this time I am clearly mad and trying to make it through the door with or without him. His mom answers and I see cute little balloons on the floor and a balloon bouquet that says I love you and then I turn around to him and as I am about to say we missed their anniversary, his mom starts playing music and she tells me to sit down. He gets on one knee and starts talking to his mom about what if she says no, and I said well I cant even say anything if you don't ask!
