GET TO KNOW OUR STORY

SANDRA AND DAMIAN FIRST LAID EYES ON EACH OTHER AT ONE OF SANDRA'S COUSIN'S QUINCEAÑERA. THROUGHOUT THE NIGHT SANDRA WAS DANCING THE NIGHT AWAY AND DAMIAN WAS HANGNING OUT WITH SOME FRIENDS BY THE DANCE FLOOR AREA. TOWARDS THE END OF THE NIGHT SANDRA DECIDED TO GO OUTSIDE FOR SOME FRESH AIR. AS SHE WALKED OUT, SHE BUMPED INTO DAMIAN AND HE SAID "BYE"OUT LOUD TO HER. SHE REPLIED BACK WITH A LOUD "BYE"AS WELL, AND THAT WAS THAT. A DAY LATER DAMIAN ASKED ONE OF HIS FRIENDS, WHO IS RELATED TO SANDRA, TO GET HER NUMBER FOR HIM. ONCE THEY GOT HER NUMBER, DAMIAN CALLED SANDRA BY THREE-WAY, WITH SANDRAS COUSIN, ON THE LANDLINE. THEY TALKED FOR A WHILE AND EVENTUALLY MADE PLANS TO OFFICIALLY MEET IN PERSON THE FOLLOWING DAY. WHEN THE TIME CAME TO MEET UP, SANDRA WALKED WITH HER COUSIN VERONICA TO THE PARK BY HER HOUSE TO MEET DAMIAN AND A COUPLE OF HIS FRIENDS. ONCE SANDRA AND DAMIAN WERE INTRODUCED, THEY SAT BY A BENCH QUIETLY UNTIL THEY DECIDED TO GO FOR A WALK AROUND THE PARK. THE WALK WAS A LITTLE AWKWARD. ACTUALLY IT WAS ALL AWKARD. THEY WERE BOTH SHY AND QUIET, COMPARED TO THE NIGHT BEFORE ON THE PHONE. SANDRA DID NOT THINK THAT THIS WAS GOING TO GO ANYWHERE, SINCE THEY WERE NOT ABLE SPARK AN INTERESTING CONVERSATION. AFTER THAT DAY, THEY SURPRISINGLY TALKED ON THE PHONE OFTEN, EVENTHOUGH THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO TALK IN PERSON. WHEN HIS FRIENDS COULDN’T GIVE HIM A RIDE, HE WOULD CATCH THE BUS FROM WEST SACRAMENTO TO DAVIS TO SEE SANDRA FOR AN HOUR AT THE PARK AND THEN HEAD BACK HOME ON THE BUS. AFTER A WHILE, THEY SORT OF STOPPED KEEPING IN TOUCH REGULARLY, SINCE THEY LIVED TOO FAR FROM EACH OTHER. THEY CONTINUED TO TALK ON AND OFF FOR ABOUT 2 YEARS AND THEN LOST TOUCH FOR ANOTHER YEAR. IT WASN’T UNTIL SANDRA BEGAN COMMUNITY COLLEGE, IN SACRAMENTO, THAT THEY RE-CONNECTED. AFTER THAT SANDRA AND DAMIAN BECAME VERY CLOSE. THEY MET EACH OTHER’S FAMILIES AND HAVE BEEN TOGETHER EVER SINCE. DAMIAN DECIDED TO POP THE QUESTION ON THEIR 7TH YEAR ANNIVERSARY WITH A SURPRISE PROPOSAL AT THE DELTA KING, SURROUNDED BY FRIENDS AND FAMILY. SANDRA, WHO WAS SURPRISED AND SHOCKED, SAID YES! NOW THEY ARE BOTH ANXIOUSLY WAITING FOR THEIR BIG DAY.
