We first met as classmates at San Jose State University. The first assignment was to get into groups and tell our life stories. Little did we know that we were making our first impressions with a future spouse. Luckily, we both decided to be honest with complete strangers. This was the first of the many great conversations in our relationship.
On September 29, 2018, I told Ali to get dressed up so we could take pictures in Corona Del Mar. Ali was suspicious but didn't want to jump to conclusions. However, while getting ready for the day, Ali was singing the song "And I'm Telling You I'm Not Going." I wasn't sure whether to laugh or to be scared. Anyways, I still proceeded to take Ali to brunch and then to the beach in Corona Del Mar to get down on one knee and ask a question. Needless to say, Ali said Yes!
