In December 2019, Javier and I took a trip to Orlando with his family. During our trip, Javier decided to surprise me with a ride on The Wheel at ICON Park, a 400 ft Ferris wheel, fully knowing that both of us are scared of heights. Javi was as white as snow, and sweating bullets on the trip up... looking back on it, it was probably due to a combination of nerves and his fear of heights! I almost hit the emergency button to have us taken back to ground level, but he insisted that we stay on the ride. I finally got comfortable with the high altitude and began to look around at the incredibly beautiful Orlando skyline. I had been to this city so many times before, but had never experienced it from up here! As I was admiring the view, I start to turn to Javi and tell him how amazing and cool it was. When I fully turn towards him, Javi is taking a ring out of his pocket and presenting it to me, asking me to marry him. I immediately start to weep out of pure joy and excitement, and in between sobs I managed to say YES! We're so excited to celebrate this next chapter in our lives with you. See you in Davie!
We are who we are today because of you. You are appreciated more than you will ever know, and we love you very much. Thank you to our family and friends. We are so happy we could share this special day with you, and we are truly blessed to be surrounded with so much love and support. We would like to extend special thanks to some amazing individuals who have impacted our lives to a great extent, and without whom we wouldn't be where we are today, both as individuals and as a soon to be married couple. You know who you are, and we could not be more grateful for all you do for us!
