She said Yes! The countdown until our forever has begun.

They met at work. Victoria catching the eye of Ruben as she worked, doing what she loves to do. Nursing. He talked to her and they instantly became friends. He graciously offered to run and get her a Dunkin Donuts coffee, which if you know her she obviously accepted, and handed him money. When he returned with her coffee, he handed Victoria her money back and said that this coffee was on him. Ruben said, "So now that I bought you coffee will you be my girlfriend?
