Our relationship was something that we never expected. We started off as friends, I met Angelo at my brother’s house one night when we were hanging out and we instantly became friends. He was funny, energetic and had this energy to him that made me feel so comfortable like I have known him my whole life. We were friends for about a year and then I decided to move to southern California. Who knew that me moving to another city would bring us closer? I would get home sick and we would talk all day, every day and every night for about a month. Finally, when I came home to visit, he was at my brother’s house again and we both knew how each other felt. A few weeks later we went on our first date and spent a weekend in Vegas together. We had so much fun and were constantly laughing with each other. The following month I came down to visit again and Angelo "made it official" and asked me to be his girlfriend. We had a lot of fears because we were living 6 hours away from each other but somehow, we made it work. I would come to Sacramento often and he would come to SoCal to visit. We both would drive 6 hours in the middle of the night just to see each other for a weekend. Finally, in January 2021, I decided to move back home and be closer to him and my family. We lived together as soon as I moved back and in May we moved into our brand-new condo. We went through some hardships together and he was my rock when my dad passed away. We have only continued to get closer and closer every day. In July, we went to Jamaica for our first big vacation together. While we were there Angelo won a beer chugging contest, in front of our whole resort against people from all around the world. Right after he won, while everyone was looking at us, he got down on one knee and asked me to marry him! Now I am living my fairytale everyday with my best friend and I can’t wait to see where life take us. To be continued....
