One Sunday, my aunt randomly came over to me and asked me for my number. I didn’t think much of it and gave it to her. A few minutes later she came back to tell me that a guy named Shane would probably be getting in touch with me soon. A few hours later, a guy named Phillip messaged me! On October 2, 2016, we met in person at church. I went over to introduce myself, we talked for a little bit and then I had him roped into helping me write a college paper. We talked the whole night and on October 6, 2016 we decided to make it official. The rest is history!
He wanted to take a sailing trip the week of Valentine’s Day, so I convinced my mom to go to Florida with me to go sailing. We anchored at Cayo Costa. Me and him were dropped off on a stretch of beach that was deserted while his brother went back to get our moms. We walked for a few steps, looking at seashells, when he turns me around and gets down on one knee. He asked, “Lillian Desireé Daniel, will you marry me?” I said, “Yes! I will!” Then we walked 2 miles to meet up with the rest of our crew!
