Hi all here's our story:
Juan and I met about 4 and a half years ago. We officially met when a mutual friend of our baptized his son. Juan turned out to be the Godfather. We had met a couple of times before that at Nick's house ( he is a friend of mine from highschool and also one of Juan's best friends, they know eachother because we all live a couple of block away from eachtother). They few times I had seen Juan before I never really paid attention to him, I thought he was cute but that was it. The Day of the baptism July 2001 Nick picked my sister, cousin and me up to go to the mass. We also stopped by to get Juan, the funny thing is that I didn't really notice him because I was planning last minute things for the party. When we got to the church we all went in to talk to the priest. I set up since I was the photographer and the videographer. When I can out I saw Juan and Nick smoking and I told them both to put those things out since we were in front of the church. He smiled and he did. After mass that day on our way back home I was in the front seat with Nick preocuppied with the party planning and Juan, my sister and cousin sat in the back. The radio was pretty loud and I guess he was singing and then my sister and cousin began to make fun of him. They told later that it was at that moment they knew he and I would end up together. We got home and got ready to got to the party when we got there I saw him playing football but I was helping Nick's mom with the set up and then I was taking pics. It started to get dark and so we all headed out to Nick's house. We continued the party there. Then some of Nick and Juan's friends tried talking to me I wasn't really interested in anything but watching out for my sister, cousin and best friend. Some time later all the family members headed out home and all the of us went to another one of the guys' house to continue the party. After some time I checked my phone to see if my mom had called and I saw a missed call so I called back. The guy that answered said that he hadn't called me and I told him he did because I had that number on my caller ID on my cell phone he said He didn't so I said O.K and hung up. A second later he called me back as I answered the phone I saw Juan coming out of a room it turns out we were talking to eachother. I later found out that my sister and cousin took his cell phone to play some game he had on it and they called my cell phone with his to crank call him later ( they never told me what they were planning). After we had a good laugh about what had happened that same night, I couldn't keep my eyes of him. Since we were at his friend's house he knew were the restroom was and he took me as we walked towards the family room he held me and kissed me. I felt my heart was about to burst. I had never kissed anyone on a first date and this wasn't even a date. I fell in love as did he. He kissed me once more that night and later he and Nick took us home and drove my best friend home she was a little drunk. That same night as he drove Nick's car and Nick drove my best firend's car, I called him I just couldn't resist. We talked until he got home. We said good night and he called me the next day. A month later we had our first date and he asked me to be his girlfriend the day he took me home to meet his family. He introduced me as his girl before he even asked me. He took me out to his porch and as I sat next to him he took my hands and asked me if I wanted to be his girlfriend. I responded with a kiss to this day he says I'm not his girlfriend because I never officially answered Yes.
You might be wondering why it took him a month to ask me out even though we had such a great spark together, well it was because we wanted to get to know eachother and I was actually really busy modeling for some magazines, boutiques, bridal houses and practicing for some pageants. He was very patient and supportive he actually sold hundres of tickets for my fund raisers when I was running for Miss Illinois . He told me he loved me not too long after.

He proposed on Sweetest day 2005. My mom was away and my father was out with one of my brothers tending to our farm. He came early to my house and picked up one of my little brothers and took him to the store with him. My sister was at work and my youngest brother was doing his homework while I was cleaning. I began cooking dinner when I called my Babe to see if they had eaten out and if not so they could hurry up and come home to eat. He didn't answer. So I continued to clean. When I was done I was getting ready to take a shower when he came home. My brother ran downstairs to his room I didn't think to much of it since the child lives on the computer chatting. My babe sat with me on the couch for a minute then he asked me to go outside with him. I made a face because I felt tired and I my clothes were dirty from cleaning the whole house all day. But I went outside anyway and he was under our balcony waiting for me. As I stood out at the top of the stairs he went up the stairs and we met in the middle. He told me he loved me and that he wanted to have me for the rest of his life. I was a little confused. He then asked me if I wanted to be his wife and I thought he was playing so I told him that I loved him and ofcourse I wanted to marry him why else would I have stayed with him for 4 years. He then took out the ring and I didn't know what to do, he asked me again. I kissed him and told him he did it wrong. We were so nervous and he got on his knees opened the little white box again and asked me then he put the ring on my finger. I love my ring it is the most beautiful most perfect ring ever. He took my little brother to help him pick it out.

I was so excited I was about to burst. I couldn't wait to tell the world. The funny thing was that just about everyone knew except for me,my mom and my sister and maybe my dad. My future hubby works with my brother and cousins so they knew. As soon as he proposed my cousins began to call the house to see if he had done it yet. His sisters, mom and dad knew already. So called my dad and he began to scream and yell, he did the Mexican grito (happiness). My brother called and asked what was going on and told me my dad was supper happy. Everyone in my family loves him to death that includes aunts, uncles, cousins. etc I have a huge family.
My sister came home from work and I told her. My mom's brothers in California called me and congratulated me but they called to check if it was really true they didn't believe it. Juan and I had been together for so long everyone had been asking when we were going to get married. My uncles in California found out because of my brothers chatting online with my cousins. I didn't want to tell anyone outside my imediate family until my mom got home from Mexico. She came the night I got engaged and I didn't want to tell her right away. I wanted her to get settled in but man that woman doesn't let anything slide she saw my ring and so I told her. She cried and cried and cried. She cried for a whole week and as much as she loves Juan she didn't talk to him for a day or two. She told him that he was taking her little girl away. A few days later she was better.
