We met on May 4th, 2018 when the new Invicta watch stand opened for business. I was told by a co-worker that I should go look at them since they were having a sale on the Star Wars watches. As I approached the stand, the first thing and only thing I could focus on was this beautiful woman standing in the kiosk. Unfortunately, I wasn't greeted by her but, that didn't stop us from stealing glances. My heart was beating in my chest the entire time and let me say, focusing on what I was being told was difficult. From that day, I took every opportunity to go to Starbucks just so I could see her (I know, it sounds stalker like but, she did the same.) Before we knew it, we were working together and having quite a few car dates. I finally worked up the nerve to officially ask her to be mine and by the grace of God, she didn't laugh at me. Fast forward and we are about to celebrate our 2 year anniversary. She surprised me with a trip to San Antonio and I surprised her with a ring. If you ask me, the proposal was 100% us! It was so goofy at the beginning but once it was time to give my speech, all the emotions and love! Her eyelashes were gonna fall off if she cried and so were mine. It was perfect and now we will be making vows to spend the rest of our lives together! -Adrian
I met the love of my life at a watch stand! From the first day we met, stealing glances was our specialty! Stolen glances turned into my admirer taking up a job at the SAME WATCH STAND! Ironic huh? Absolutely not! I found out after that it was one of his many plans to become the man that I married! From sharing the deepest trenches of our souls in the parking garage at the mall, to falling asleep together on Facetime, I fell quickly and madly in love with my soulmate! From ups and downs, crying together and laughing until we cried together, sharing a home, getting a dog, moving apart just to move back together... we have been through it all! Every great memorable moment we shared and through every bad day we had, we continued to choose each other every single day. Choosing to love each other when it was good and to love each other even more when it was hard. Choosing to fight for our love and for our future when it would be easier to walk away. When you find the one you want to spend your life with, the one your soul adores, it is all worth it! ALWAYS BECAUSE is the phrase we love by. So, when he got down on his knee on our 2nd anniversary to ask me to marry him, there was nothing to say, but YES! -Jo
