We first met at a wedding about 11 years ago and the I (bride) didn't think much of it, but Alex (groom) was definitely interested. At that wedding, he told my mom and aunt about how cute he thinks I am, and even went as far as to telling his own mom that he would marry me one day (how crazy right!!).... but never approached me with that energy, so nothing came of it. Many years later (2021), we meet at a mutual friend's birthday party. We didn't recognize each other at all and only exchanged the normal niceties. We barely spoke to each other. A few days later, Alex slides into my dms and the rest is still ongoing till forever!
On Saturday June 24, 2023, I (Bride) was under the impression that I was getting ready to do a photoshoot with my cousin who was pregnant at the time. So, imagine my surprise when I walk to the rooftop (where the supposed photoshoot was going to be) and I see my man (Groom) standing there looking absolutely regal, absolutely delicious against the most gorgeous background / decor setup. There were rose petals everywhere, candle lights, and God himself came down and painted the sky a blue and orange color that was literally breathtaking. Literally everything I dreamt my proposal would be came true. And the best part of it all, I get to commit to forever with the love of my life. He told me to go change into the outfit I told him I wanted to be proposed to in (can you believe how prepared and down to the detail this man is!!!! He is literally perfect). When I came back to him all dressed up looking absolutely fabulous myself, he whispered some sweet promises and vows into my ear, he got down on one knee, he asked the question, I cried "YES," and we were engaged. We're so excited to celebrate this next chapter in our lives with you.
