It was Valery’s graduation party. There was food. There was music. There was laughter. And then suddenly with what seemed to be a quick blur, we were standing in front of our family. With a mic in hand and singing “A Whole New World” from the Disney film, Aladdin. Shortly after the song ended, Chris reached into his right pocket. Pulled out his mothers ring. Got down on one knee and said, “I want to spend the rest of my life with you. Will you marry me?”. Without hesitation I said yes and the rest is history.
