Long ago, when were just teens, we met at the Dominican Festival. Fidel asked me for a hug, and of course I said yes. That one "yes" turned into exchanging numbers, long conversations, and several dates in between. A year later, we became official. We grew up together in so many ways. Through milestones and memories, we built something that wasn't just love - it was a partnership. Years later, on New Years Eve, as one chapter closed and another began, Fidel asked me to marry him. And once again, just like the first day, my answer was yes. From a simple hug, to a lifetime promise - our story is about choosing each other, again and again, every step of the way. And this December, I get to say "yes" one more time - forever.
