What is your love story?
Tatiana and I met in April of 2014, she used to work at the gym which I would visit frequently to work out at. I normally work out with a friend and on one morning I saw Tatiana working and immediately turned to my friend and asked, "who is that?". I just had to find a way to talk to her because I thought she was the most beautiful woman ever. It took me a bit to actually talk to her as I did not want to randomly interrupt during her work hours. As the days went on, me and the same friend would continue to work out and visit the gym and sure enough there was Tatiana working. The funny thing is, every time I would see Tatiana I would look at my friend and tell him, "I am going to marry her one day", of course we would laugh about it as I had not actually talked to Tatiana at this point. Fast forward a couple weeks and on a Saturday evening Tatiana and I just happened to be at the same party through some mutual friendships (it was her bosses roommate's birthday party, who I am also friends with). I immediately thought to myself, "this is my chance!". As the night went on, we all chit chatted, partied, etc. and I saw Tatiana holding up her friend as she did a keg stand lol I offered to take a picture of them and they gladly accepted. The night came to an end but I now had a reason to approach Tatiana and ask for her number (I have this picture of her and her friend). The following week, I was so excited to go work out haha. The routine continued, me and the same friend went to the gym but I now had plan for when I see Tatiana. When we arrived to the gym I saw Tatiana working and immediately felt the butterflies in my stomach, you could say I was a bit nervous haha but my friend encouraged me to approach her so I did. I approached her, we chit chatted about the party, laughed at a couple moments, and thats when I brought out my secret weapon lol I told her I had this picture of her and her friend from the party and if she would like me to send it to her. She said yes! All was going as planned. I sent her the picture and we said our goodbyes shortly after as she had to get back to work. From that moment on, we continued to exchange text messages, we met for breakfasts, lunches, dinners, hung out, and I simply could not stop wanting to see her. As time went on, I loved spending time with Tatiana and did not want it to end so on August 8th 2014 I asked Tatiana to be my girlfriend. Every day I fell more and more in love with Tatiana and I knew I wanted to spend the rest of my life with her when the simplest things would bring such joy to life. From simple good morning text messages, little notes left for the other to find, being lazy and watching movies at home, and our work days coming to an end and hearing how each others went. To bigger things like traveling the world together, enjoying a night out, my friends turning into our friends, my family turning into our family, the list is endless. I sat back and thought to myself I don’t ever want to lose any of these moments big or small in life spent with Tatiana that bring me such joy and love, so on August 18, 2018 I asked her to marry me and she said yes!!
