Our Love Story

Everything started when one of us pressed the "accept friend request" button on the bottom of facebook. We don't know exactly how everything started, maybe with a "how do I know you?" message. The thing is once we started chatting we couldn't stop. We got along great, somehow talking to each other made the days go super easy. Chatting online probably sounds lame, but there was nothing lame about our relationship, maybe a little different than the usual, but what do you expect? He was all the way in Seattle and I was all the way in San Diego and starting a relationship wasn't in my plans. But I couldn't resist to Nils, he made me fall in love with him so fast and without me even knowing. We both had crazy exes that tried to get in the way, but our love was already strong and nobody could break us apart. We talked online for about 2 to 3 months and finally we decided to meet, so he took a plane to spend a weekend with me. During that weekend we realized how much we cared about each other and how bad we wanted to continue our "crazy" relationship. Our first date was amazing. We spent the day at Sea World and had lunch with Shamu.

At night we went to an Italian restaurant in La Jolla--it was sooo yummy. Every moment we spent together was just awesome. I decided to move to Utah and Nils "volunteered", after I asked him, to drive me up there. It was around New Years time, so we stopped in Vegas for the appropriate celebration.

While in Utah we talked alot, chatted alot and eventually decided to move in together. We weren't expecting our families to approve of our decision but even back then we already knew that we wanted to be together forever and moving in together would accelerate that process (that's what I thought). And so, after many fights and arguments and tears from our loved ones, we did it. We knew it was the right decision for us even though not everyone saw it that way. On February 15Th '09 I moved to Kirkland, WA. It was one of the best decisions I've ever made because it meant I could be closer to the man I loved and assured me that I had found my Prince Charming.

Nils and I talked about marriage alot and he told me he wanted to marry me, but the time went by and I couldn't wait any longer so I did what I do best, I made sure to put the right clues for him to hurry up and propose. For example, remember that song" Single Ladies" from Beyonce? Well, I played it over and over and over again "If you like it put a ring on it". I knew he was probably searching for the perfect ring but I couldn't wait so I sang and talked about weddings ALOT! So, finally on May 11Th he took me to La Jolla Cove and proposed to me. It was perfect! We were in San Diego for my cousin's wedding and he thought of everything. He knows how much I love my family and how happy it would make me to share that moment with them. We were extremely happy, we shared some happy tears and our feelings for each other. He said he was nervous but I don't why, he knew I was going to say yes! And just like that we were engaged and a month later we got married. I think if anyone asked me "why so fast?" my answer would be "why not?". I mean, we knew we wanted to be get married and so we did--we loved each other. We got married at the Redmond Court House on June 27Th, 2009 and even though I grew up dreaming of a big wedding and alot of other details, I realized that none of that really matters. The important thing was that I had found my soul mate and getting married to him was all I'd ever wanted and everything I'd ever dreamed of. What can I say? We were just meant to be.
