Several months ago at a birthday party, a guy came and sat beside me at the table, because there was an empty seat.

He was self assured, dressed well, well groomed, and real nice trying to make conversation. The truth is that I was quite uncomfortable, he was obviously well off and I was there because the birthday girl was a friend from school.

I wouldn't look him in the eye and would only give one word answers, and he grabbed my chin and told me that he liked women that looked him in the eye and he wanted me to look him in the eye when I spoke with him and he wanted more than one word answers. He was holding my hand, and my chin and staring into my eyes and to look deep into his eyes, that he wasn't a wolf, he needed a woman to look him into the eye when she spoke to him.

We talked, and I looked him in the eye, and he went and got me a drink, and when we went to serve our meal, he held the plates and I served the plates, and we went back to sit down and he wiped my face and held my hand and it got dark, and there were only the two of us sitting outside. By the time we left he had my phone and I had his, and the next day he called me to go out and eat Chinese.

After dinner we found out that we both worked at the same company, there are eight thousand employees and four hundred in our office building. We had never seen each other, I told him where I worked and he told me he did planning.

We dated, we went for ice cream, we went to the museum, we went for a walk in my neighborhood, we held hands and we talked about family, he met my mom and my sister. There is a special Cuban restaurant in my neighborhood and we went there often, so often that they had a table for us when we came. I found out his Spanish was better than mine, he grew up in Latin America, I found out he had lots of brothers and sisters, I found out that looking into his eyes every day and holding his hand made me get goose bumps and butterflies. I found out that my mother told her friends about my boyfriend, my sister asked me if I intended to wait before having children or if I was going to have children right after we got married.

On Mother's day he came to church with us and when we were kneeling in mass, he asked me if I would walk with him, if I would be the mother of his children, if I would take care of him when he was old, if I would have his name. He put a ring on my finger before I answered, I was crying and he was kissing my cheeks. When we sat down and I showed my mother the ring, she screamed in the middle of mass.

He walked me out of church by the hand, and now we have a wedding to plan.

I love you Sam, te amo mi amor, I am so looking forward to being your wife.
