Wedding Day

Our Wedding

It&nbsp;all&nbsp;started&nbsp;14&nbsp;years&nbsp;ago&nbsp;when&nbsp;Eric&nbsp;and&nbsp;I&nbsp;first&nbsp;met&nbsp;while&nbsp;working&nbsp;at&nbsp;HEB.&nbsp;He&nbsp;was&nbsp;too&nbsp;nervous&nbsp;to&nbsp;talk&nbsp;to&nbsp;me,&nbsp;convinced&nbsp;I&nbsp;wouldn’t&nbsp;enjoy&nbsp;our&nbsp;conversations.&nbsp;But&nbsp;despite&nbsp;the&nbsp;hesitation,&nbsp;we&nbsp;became&nbsp;friends,&nbsp;and&nbsp;our&nbsp;connection&nbsp;grew&nbsp;over&nbsp;time.&nbsp;Three&nbsp;years&nbsp;later,&nbsp;Eric&nbsp;moved&nbsp;on&nbsp;from&nbsp;HEB,&nbsp;and&nbsp;I&nbsp;was&nbsp;in&nbsp;relationship.&nbsp;Life&nbsp;took&nbsp;us&nbsp;on&nbsp;different&nbsp;paths,&nbsp;and&nbsp;we&nbsp;lost&nbsp;contact&nbsp;for&nbsp;a&nbsp;while. Then,&nbsp;one&nbsp;day,&nbsp;I&nbsp;stumbled&nbsp;upon&nbsp;Eric’s&nbsp;Facebook&nbsp;page.&nbsp;We&nbsp;reconnected&nbsp;and&nbsp;stayed&nbsp;friends,&nbsp;but&nbsp;it&nbsp;wasn’t&nbsp;until&nbsp;six&nbsp;years&nbsp;ago&nbsp;when&nbsp;he&nbsp;asked&nbsp;me&nbsp;out&nbsp;that&nbsp;I&nbsp;realized&nbsp;how&nbsp;much&nbsp;I&nbsp;cared.&nbsp;At&nbsp;the&nbsp;time,&nbsp;I&nbsp;thought&nbsp;he&nbsp;was&nbsp;too&nbsp;kind&nbsp;and&nbsp;that&nbsp;I&nbsp;wasn’t&nbsp;good&nbsp;enough&nbsp;for&nbsp;him.&nbsp;But&nbsp;fate&nbsp;had&nbsp;other&nbsp;plans.&nbsp;Four&nbsp;years&nbsp;later,&nbsp;out&nbsp;of&nbsp;the&nbsp;blue,&nbsp;Eric&nbsp;messaged&nbsp;me&nbsp;on&nbsp;Snapchat,&nbsp;and&nbsp;we&nbsp;couldn’t&nbsp;stop&nbsp;talking. We&nbsp;finally&nbsp;went&nbsp;on&nbsp;a&nbsp;date,&nbsp;and&nbsp;I&nbsp;promised&nbsp;myself&nbsp;that&nbsp;I&nbsp;wouldn’t&nbsp;let&nbsp;this&nbsp;amazing&nbsp;man&nbsp;go&nbsp;again.&nbsp;Since&nbsp;that&nbsp;moment,&nbsp;we’ve&nbsp;been&nbsp;inseparable.&nbsp;Our&nbsp;story&nbsp;is&nbsp;a&nbsp;reminder&nbsp;that&nbsp;sometimes,&nbsp;the&nbsp;right&nbsp;person&nbsp;comes&nbsp;back&nbsp;into&nbsp;your&nbsp;life&nbsp;at&nbsp;just&nbsp;the&nbsp;right&nbsp;time. It&nbsp;was&nbsp;October&nbsp;31st,&nbsp;a&nbsp;day&nbsp;that&nbsp;started&nbsp;like&nbsp;any&nbsp;other.&nbsp;Eric&nbsp;had&nbsp;come&nbsp;to&nbsp;my&nbsp;workplace&nbsp;to&nbsp;help&nbsp;me&nbsp;set&nbsp;up&nbsp;a&nbsp;new&nbsp;desk&nbsp;for&nbsp;my&nbsp;classroom.&nbsp;We&nbsp;were&nbsp;working&nbsp;together,&nbsp;tackling&nbsp;the&nbsp;task&nbsp;of&nbsp;putting&nbsp;everything&nbsp;in&nbsp;place&nbsp;when&nbsp;I&nbsp;casually&nbsp;mentioned&nbsp;that&nbsp;I&nbsp;had&nbsp;been&nbsp;thinking&nbsp;about&nbsp;getting&nbsp;a&nbsp;new&nbsp;plate&nbsp;for&nbsp;my&nbsp;room.&nbsp;I&nbsp;was&nbsp;hesitant,&nbsp;though,&nbsp;unsure&nbsp;if&nbsp;I&nbsp;should&nbsp;buy&nbsp;one&nbsp;now&nbsp;or&nbsp;wait&nbsp;in&nbsp;case&nbsp;we&nbsp;decided&nbsp;to&nbsp;get&nbsp;married&nbsp;soon. By&nbsp;that&nbsp;point,&nbsp;we&nbsp;were&nbsp;almost&nbsp;done&nbsp;assembling&nbsp;the&nbsp;desk,&nbsp;but&nbsp;Eric&nbsp;had&nbsp;a&nbsp;different&nbsp;kind&nbsp;of&nbsp;surprise&nbsp;in&nbsp;mind.&nbsp;I&nbsp;noticed&nbsp;he&nbsp;was&nbsp;getting&nbsp;teary-eyed,&nbsp;and&nbsp;I&nbsp;asked&nbsp;him&nbsp;what&nbsp;was&nbsp;wrong.&nbsp;That’s&nbsp;when&nbsp;he&nbsp;opened&nbsp;up,&nbsp;telling&nbsp;me&nbsp;just&nbsp;how&nbsp;much&nbsp;I&nbsp;meant&nbsp;to&nbsp;him&nbsp;and&nbsp;how&nbsp;much&nbsp;he&nbsp;loved&nbsp;me.&nbsp;His&nbsp;words&nbsp;were&nbsp;so&nbsp;sincere,&nbsp;and&nbsp;then,&nbsp;with&nbsp;a&nbsp;smile&nbsp;through&nbsp;his&nbsp;tears,&nbsp;he&nbsp;told&nbsp;me&nbsp;he&nbsp;wanted&nbsp;to&nbsp;spend&nbsp;the&nbsp;rest&nbsp;of&nbsp;his&nbsp;life&nbsp;with&nbsp;me. I&nbsp;was&nbsp;completely&nbsp;shocked.&nbsp;And&nbsp;then,&nbsp;in&nbsp;the&nbsp;most&nbsp;beautiful&nbsp;moment,&nbsp;he&nbsp;asked&nbsp;me&nbsp;the&nbsp;question&nbsp;I&nbsp;never&nbsp;saw&nbsp;coming:&nbsp;“Will&nbsp;you&nbsp;marry&nbsp;me?” Without&nbsp;hesitation,&nbsp;I&nbsp;shouted&nbsp;a&nbsp;big,&nbsp;joyous&nbsp;“Yes!”&nbsp;The&nbsp;excitement&nbsp;and&nbsp;happiness&nbsp;we&nbsp;both&nbsp;felt&nbsp;were&nbsp;overwhelming,&nbsp;and&nbsp;we&nbsp;both&nbsp;couldn't&nbsp;hold&nbsp;back&nbsp;the&nbsp;tears.&nbsp;It&nbsp;was&nbsp;a&nbsp;moment&nbsp;full&nbsp;of&nbsp;love,&nbsp;and&nbsp;I&nbsp;couldn’t&nbsp;wait&nbsp;to&nbsp;start&nbsp;this&nbsp;journey&nbsp;together&nbsp;as&nbsp;husband&nbsp;and&nbsp;wife.
