Cheryl and Jesse went to middle and high school together. Although they had many mutual friends, it was not the time for them to be together. When Cheryl moved back from college in Orlando, they met again through a mutual friend and the rest is history.
Jesse and I had planned on going out to the beach for 2 weeks before we actually went out there on April 24th. It was actually my idea to go, just to do something different for change. The weeks before it was just too windy to have an enjoyable night out there. On Friday, we went out to dinner after work at my favorite restaurant, La Napolera. After that, we were going to go out to the beach finally, but Jesse said he wanted to wait until it was dark. I didn't think anything of it. When we got there, we were walking on the boardwalk over the dunes and I saw all these luminaries so I was trying to read them. It said, "Will you marry me?". I told Jesse, that I didn't think we should be here because I thought we were intruding on someone's special moment, little did I know, it was mine. :) After that, Jesse got down on one knee and asked me to marry him! I said YES! of course! He had my family and his family there to share in our special moment.
