How We Met
Funny enough, we met through facebook. I never thought I'd be meeting my future hubby online but it happened. He was the first one to send me a message about a group that I had just created and we just started chatting since then. We met 3 weeks later and began going out more often. At first it was really a friendship that we were having but then it grew into a relationship. A year into the relationship, I moved into his parents house. I was spending pretty much all my time with him their so it just made sense that I moved in instead of paying rent for my appartment for nothing.
The Proposal!
We had talked about the future, marriage, kids, but we never actually decided on anything. In the summer of 2010, we went to Portugal for a 2 week vacation. While we were there we went to visit the castle of the first king of Portugal and we were taking pictures of everything. On our way out of the castle my FI wanted to take pictures of us in front of the statue with his camera, I thought it was strange as we already had taken pictures of us, but anyways, I asked some random guy to take pictures with my FI's camera. So I was waiting for him to join my by the statue and as I'm looking at the random guy holding the camera waiting to smile, my FI was already on his knee holding the ring, I didn't noticed it until I turn to him. OMG I freaked out, I started crying, shaking, smiling, crying some more until he said "will you marry me?" I screamed yes and hugged him, and kissed him, he placed the ring on my finger, All this was taken in the pictures. I found out right after that while I was waiting for the FI to take the pictures, he was telling the guy to not take any until he was down on his knee. How Sweet!!!
