David proposed on October 17, 2020 in Newport, CA. We had planned a weekend vacation for his birthday so I was completely surprised to what was coming next. He was acting very different the whole day. Nervous and fidgety. I figured it was because he had just turned the big 40! We got to the beach just before sunset, he faced me, took a deep breathe and started to cry. The next words have been engraved in my heart for the rest of my life. “Irene, you are my life, I never want to be without you, I love you, will you marry me?” As you can imagine my tears rolling down my face. No thoughts, no questions just one word YES!!! David and I have had our share of highs and lows and we have been able to overcome all the obstacles we’ve been faced with. He always says “Gods got us” There is no other person on the planet we would rather go through life with then each other. ….and this is where our love story continues….
