Sal and I had known of each other for a bit before started having a real friendship. We bonded over our competitive nature during our favorite card game, Rat Slap. I would get a little too into the game and probably hurt Sal a few times in my aggressive slaps on the table. After he moved to Texas, our relationship grew stronger through constant communication and the rest is history.
Sal had invited my family and I to his parents' "anniversary party." Due to awful traffic, I was super late while Sal's nerves just grew and grew. When I finally arrived, Sal took me aside towards the garage while the rest of my family went to out the backyard. Sal walked me through the side door and I right away see two huge posters full of pictures and memories of our last two years together. He walks me through the posters while I sob with happiness. When we finally turn the corner, all of my closest family and friends were there as well as Sal's. He got down on one knee and of course, I SAID YES!
