We are looking forward to building a life together, there's nothing like being able to share special moments with someone who loves and supports you unconditionally. We are excited to celebrate our union with our loved ones! We have amazing family and friends that have supported us in the last five years of our relationship, so we are eager about laughing, eating and dancing the night away!
We met August 24th, 2013 at a bar (of course). I was walking out of the bathroom and saw him against the wall with his friends. I pointed at him and told my friends he was cute. They laughed and challenged me to approach him and so I did. I remember going up to him and asking him if we knew each other from somewhere because he looked familiar (pick up line). He looked at me confused and said no so I walked away laughing. Shortly after he approached me at the bar and said "was that your pickup line", I laughed and said you are here right? so it worked now buy me a drink. That night he left his phone number on my Instagram page and we spoke for hours on the phone. Neither one of us remembers what we spoke about but we agreed to meet the next day.....
I was at a block party uptown and then went bar hoping with my friends. I was going to go home but my friends convinced me to stop at one last bar. I was standing against a wall when someone tapped me and asked "Did you go to New Paltz"?, I politely said no but I did visit frequently. She walked away and I thought to myself, why didn't I continue the conversation. I saw her at the bar and approached her and asked if that was her pick up line. I then bought her a drink and we spoke for a little while... she then vanished. I texted my friend who went to the same school as her and asked if he knew who she was. He sent me her instagram name and I immediately left my phone number on the last picture she posted with the comment "the guy from the bar". She called me and we spoke about god knows what. We agreed to do brunch the next day followed by two more dates the same week.
We were clicking so well and enjoying each others company without any effort. Things just felt right and it was just easy to fall in love with her. She drives me crazy and I wouldn't change it for the world.
He's very calm and I'm like tornado... I fell in love with Ramond because he made me feel a level of peace and comfort I never felt before. It's just the two of us in our own little world.
By March 2017 I decided I was ready to go ring shopping. It took 2 weekends and multiple trips up and down the diamond district. When I finally found the right ring, I took a picture and immediately showed Cesy's mother. She was amazed and happy that we were ready to make the next step. I shared the news with all of mine and Cesy's friends + family. Everyone knew except her and was excited for us. I knew I wanted to propose in the summer and was waiting for the perfect moment. We had planned and booked a trip to Barcelona which would be the perfect way to end our summer. My original plan was to propose at the last night of vacation at the fountains. We planned to go there at the night but our plans had change to go elsewhere. The following day we left and as we sat in the airport in Germany, we discussed how we had such a wonderful trip together. The moment felt right as we sat next to each other and expressed our love and appreciation for one another. I looked at her and expressed the love I have for her. The moment felt so right, I got down on one knee and proposed. We met August 24th 2013 and got engaged exactly 4 years later.
On our last night in Barcelona, Spain we were supposed to have dinner and go to the Magic Fountain however, things didn't go as planned. That night he seemed really aggravated at the change of plans and so we packed our bags and went to bed without speaking much. The following day we had a very long flight back to NYC. During our layover in Germany while waiting for our next flight we started talking about the trip and how much fun we have together. The conversation went from us laughing to him expressing how much he loves me and how he's been planning for our future . I was a little bit confused because he looked so nervous and his eyes started getting watery. The more he kept talking I started to cry and then he got down on one knee and I just lost it. It felt surreal, right there in the middle of an airport in Germany he asked me to be his wife. We met unexpectedly and 4 years later on the exact day we met he proposed in the most unexpected way. It felt genuine and real, it was just us in our element.
I am looking forward to starting a family with her and spending my life with my best friend. Going through the many stages of love and really practicing "through thick and thin". To have someone challenge me and also bring out the best in me. No matter what I go through, it feels comforting to have my partner having my back no matter what and live our lives in our own bubble.
I am looking forward to growing together, inspiring and supporting one another, laughing until our sides hurt, falling in love again and again and again, and building a strong foundation for our future family. I am also looking forward to being Mrs. Desroches.
