God chose us for each other, we say that because regardless of the paths we would've taken, all of them would've led to each other. We grew up less than a mile away from each other when we were younger, we both were going to attend West High School then were both transferred to Stockdale High School (where Erik met me). Although Erik saw me in high school we never officially met. Then Erik graduated and he went to UTI. I was about to go to CSU Channel Island which is near Oxnard where he and his family is from so that is another possibility of us meeting, but I decided to say in Bakersfield. Years went on and during my 2nd year of college we met via social we had our first date December 2019; we went bowling and then he took me to a hibachi restaurant. We talked for hours, well I talked for hours because those who know me know that I can talk, and he listened so inventively with a smile to my stories. A month later on January 11, 2020, we started to date and have spent the last 3 years together with such joy and happiness, then November 11, 2023, he asked me to marry him in which I said YESS!!!! and now we would like to ask you to join us as we get married and become ONE!!!
