Our Wedding

She lived in Duluth, Ga.&nbsp;

He lived in Orlando, Fl.&nbsp;





We met in Salerno, Italy in 2016. (I know, could&nbsp;hallmark sponsor us?)





A week overseas and&nbsp;a conversation that lasted 3 hours longer than expected led to face time talks for the next few weeks.&nbsp;





Then Damien spent 9 months (yep, that's right) trying to convince Daniela to date him.&nbsp;





She said no...&nbsp;3 times. But then she said yes...&nbsp;on April fools day. (She wasn't kidding, don't worry.)





We dated long distance for about a year and a half until we decided we were&nbsp;over the flights and weekend trips. We wanted to experience the&nbsp;"normal" together. Something weekend trips couldn't&nbsp;show us.&nbsp;





So he moved in August 2018 to Atlanta, Ga. (He bought the ring in November of that same year, but that was a secret.)&nbsp;





On April 25th, 2019 he convinced her to take his friends that were visiting to Piedmont Park to take pictures. They all walked to the top of a big hill in the park where you could see a&nbsp;view of the Atlanta skyline just as the sun was setting. We sat down on the hill together and talked about sharing all of our days. We talked about what the future might be for us. About what it would mean for the&nbsp;new "normal"&nbsp;to be "ours".&nbsp;





And on a&nbsp;normal&nbsp;Thursday, he said, "I really don't want to wait anymore."&nbsp;





He signaled to one of his friends who was holding the ring to bring it over. He was already on one knee. With tears in her eyes and nerves in his throat he asked, "Alfa Daniela Reyes, will you marry me?"&nbsp;





This time she said yes... the first time.&nbsp;
