After many years of praying, our paths finally crossed by His Loving grace. On our second date we had dinner, we both wore a red shirt and just laughed at how things already seemed to be jelling between us. We have been experiencing coincidences or rather Godincidences ever since!

Dinner and Salsa dancing was the plan of action with family and friends on Saturday August 5th. Little did Ericka know that this evening would be something to remember. We all gathered in Hotel Valencia for drinks and dinner before dancing. Just like many things that had happened for us by chance, there was a great private room that could sit us all! Over the course of many conversations and dinner, I tried to start the story that would lead up to the proposal only to be taken off track several times. We finally finished dinner and I knew I had only a little time left, so I went for it. I started talking about how we both were praying for each other and how things just seemed to fall in place day after day without forcing ANYTHING, we are just following His Will. I was almost derailed again, but I kept pressing on. I wrapped up with how awesome the little room for our dinner was and how perfect it was for what I was about to do. I dropped to one knee and asked Ericka if would be my Wife. She said YES! Her sister immediately hugged her and they both started crying in joy. We all celebrated throughout the night this very special moment. Thank You Lord!
