Michael and my sister (Vanessa) attended nursing school together and worked at the same hospital, where they coincidentally ran into each other in the cafeteria one day. She took the opportunity to ask Michael if he was single and told him about me. Shortly after, we had our first date on September 29, 2016 and with every date after, our love for each other grew. He has been by my side through nursing school, sickness, long distance, travel nursing, trials, and tribulations. On June 16th, 2023, we were in Cancun, Mexico, celebrating Michael’s birthday. He set up a romantic dinner on the beach, which I thought was only a birthday dinner. Surprisingly, he got on one knee and asked me to be his wife, through happy sobbing tears, I said YES! We've decided to go full circle and get married where we got engaged- Cancun, Mexico.
