We met at an on campus ministry at UCF. We hated each other at first. It was hatred at first sight. Hearts were broken and friendships forged under the fire of pain and youth. Love grew under a severe case of denial and friend-zoning. Over the years- eleven years, to be exact- true friendship and agape love were established under Christ's supervision. Then on a miraculous December evening, ten years later began the endeavor to marriage that lasted a year and half. Suddenly on a night after a "self-care day" I sped home to pee. Running out of my car into the house and passing by the beautiful boquet of roses on the dining table, I laid my purse on the table to run to the loo. Wilson yelled, "THWEETIE!" and knelt down on one knee. I replied "you're gonna do this right now?!" while processing that everything was indeed happening quickly. He took out the ring and grabbed my hand and said "Yeah, gotta keep the element of surprise". He asked, "Will you marry me?". Stunned, I looked at him repeating " awwww, thweetie!" like a broken record for about a minute before I realized that I never said yes. I recovered from my loop to mention I was stunned and finally answered, "Yes, of course I will marry you!". We began our journey to this day 11 years ago and everyone knew it but us.
