How We Met. Cómo nos conocimos.

Abi- Muchos años atrás mi mejor amiga y su ahora esposo siempre me hablaban de su amigo Ben, siempre decían que me lo presentarían, el día que mis amigos se casaron pude ver por primera vez a ese chico … pero durante esos días nunca nos saludamos 😂. Pasaron varios años después (como 4 años) y un día , de la nada, recibí una notificación de alguien que queria agregarme y yo para ver quien era vi su foto y …. SORPRESA !!! Era el chico de la fiesta que nunca salude !! 😂😂 decidí agregarlo y de la nada él empezó a comentar mis publicaciones pero el día de mi cumpleaños el me mandó ya un mensaje y me felicito, esa fue la primera vez que decidí contestarle su mensaje y desde ese dia no hemos dejado de platicar todos los días ♥️ Creí sólo sería mi amigo por internet, pero él decidió venirme a visitar a México 🇲🇽 y pues….. ya lo demás es historia ! Ya estamos comprometidos y a punto de casarnos ! 🥰♥️ Ben- Several years ago I was invited to a wedding not knowing I was going to be the best man, My friend was talking to me about a girl that’s going to be the maid of honor. Sadly we didn’t say Hi. 4 Years after they still talked about her and I wasn’t really wanting try long distance. But I decided to take a chance. I asked my friend about that girl that was the maid of honor. He told me she was still single, and at the time him and his wife stopped pushing us to date. Told my friend, he told his wife to put in a good word for me. I sent her a friend request, started to ease my way into her messages. Was being consistent in messaging, and it took off from there. Didn’t expect a great response, but i said to myself be patient it will all work out, i prayed and kept being consistent, and i was confident. Decided to visit her, knowing this would be a major step but also a courageous one, getting to know her family was important to us. A couple years later on May 17 we got engaged. Made a great and important decision. Getting married very soon, I hope y’all pray for us. Our journey in this next chapter of our life will start soon, on October 20,2023.

The Proposal

17 May 2023

We got engaged in the first “Pueblo mágico” that i got to know in my time being in Mexico, a tourist spot for many, that is know for its silver mines. She took me to this place and I thought it was a beautiful place to get to know, together. I got to know Taxco’s great look out spots and great restaurants, but in May 17th, 2023 I rented a spot, the place was decorated, as we walked to the restaurant, it was the first restaurant she took me to in that city by the way. I put a blind fold over her eyes and we walked down a red carpet. We walked until we stepped into a pool of rose petals in a shape of a heart, I took off the blind fold, called her name, knelt down on one knee and asked her: will you marry me? (She said yes). We're so excited to celebrate this next chapter in our lives with you, if you could pray that God’s hand will be upon everything going into our wedding and upon our marriage. See you in Mexico! Nos vemos en Mexico!
