We Are Getting Married February 24,2024
They met for the first time at work in the hospital. Athea was fresh out of college and just starting her career and Richard was in his second year working in the ICU. They became acquaintances and soon friends.
We had an unconventional first date. After working a night shift one of our co-workers invited us to brunch. After eating, Richard asked if anyone still wanted to hang out for the day. Before I could even respond, our other co-workers had all declined so I figured we would reschedule, but Richard asked me personally if I would still be willing and I said sure! So we spent the entire day together- even after working an entire night shift.
We have had many conversations about marriage and how important it is to both of us up until this point. However, Athea had no idea I would be proposing to her anytime soon. I wanted to make this day a special surprise. There was no doubt in my mind that I had to propose during our trip to the Philippines visiting her family. It was a perfect day.
