Jerry and I met a little over 4 years ago at a mutual friend’s birthday party. I remember thinking that this guy was way too cool for me (boy was I wrong 😛), so naturally I did my best to avoid him. A friend eventually introduced us to each other later that night and we ended up talking for a bit. I was taken aback by Jerry’s kindness and the lengths he took to keep me laughing. I was so nervous on our first date and because of that I cannot recall a single conversation we had that day. I was certain Jerry would never ask to hang out again, but ten minutes after getting into my Uber I got a text from Jerry telling me he had a great time and that we should go on another date…. and he also forgot his wallet at the theater. As we went on more dates, I quickly realized that Jerry was someone I could see my future with. I’m beyond blessed to have someone as caring, goofy, and sweet as Jerry. It’s been 4 years of laughing until we can’t breathe, overeating at restaurants, and Jerry losing his wallet/keys/phone/etc., and I’m looking forward to all the years to come. I can’t wait to do life with you, Fedex!

It was February of 2019, a weekday evening where a good friend invited me to come out for a birthday party. I was unsure of going as I had work early the next morning. My friend emphasized to me that I was single and if I was to ever meet that special someone, I needed to come out that night. It was decided. I got ready and headed to the venue. I didn’t know many people at the party, but fate (and maybe a little bit of staring) brought me to make eye contact with Nimmy who I never saw or met before. I immediately shimmied my way over to Nimmy and struck up a conversation with her, and we never stopped talking since. I wanted to see Nimmy again as soon as possible. Our first date was to the movies, where I found it cute how shy Nimmy initially was. However, once she became comfortable, she could not stop making me laugh! Our conversations felt natural and effortless. She is beautiful, goofy, and loves hard. I was crazy about her and still am. From sharing meals to sharing each other’s vocabulary (bruh), we grew closer and closer over the years. Wherever she is, her number one priority is making sure that everyone feels comfortable. She always goes above and beyond in everything she does in life. Seeing the way she cares for my family, friends, and myself, I’ve always known she is special. In 2022, I decided that it was time to ask for both of our parents’ blessings to get a ring on Nimmy’s hand. I asked Nimmy to marry me on September 10th, 2022 and I can’t wait to spend my life with my best friend.
