Enrique and I met in high school. We had one art class together that he had been waiting to take for almost four years, while I was told if I didn't take it, I wouldn't graduate. We went away to college and didn't talk again until almost 10 years later, thanks to myspace. I ran into his picture while searching for an old friend of mine, but to be sure it was him I sent him a message that only he would know the answer to (our art class teacher's name). He responded with the correct answer and we went out as "friends" (even though he showed up with flowers) two weeks later. We had an amazing first date and I ran around the city, work, and family events telling everyone that he was PERFECT. Everyone kept telling me, don't put him on a pedestal because no one is perfect, but I wouldn't believe it. Turns out no one is perfect and I fell pretty hard at the realization. lol! We made our relationship official two weeks after our first date and have been happy ever since.
Enrique proposed at the end of our vacation in Cancun, just before our three year anniversary. He was acting fishy during the trip and kept asking me really serious questions. To tell the truth, I thought he was trying to find a reason to break up with me. On our last day, just hours before checking out, he found me crying on the balcony in total confusion because I had no idea what was going on. He had asked me a few times during our stay if I knew why he had brought me to Cancun and each time I answered, "because you love me" or "because I won't say no to any of your crazy ideas", etc. This time when he asked the question, I let him answer and he then proceeded to tell me how much he loved me and then he got down on one knee in the hotel room and asked if I would marry him. I could see the suspense in his eyes and we were both trembling. I said yes and nodded, then we both cried and hugged each other. He didn't have the ring yet because he wanted to make sure I absolutely loved the ring I was going to wear for the rest of my life. So we flew back home that day and went ring shopping the next day...
