We met in our single's ward. One summer night in May 2006 at a ward barbecue. We talked a lot and Paulo asked me out the next Sunday, and our first date was to Café Río. Since we dated for longer than what most people are used to, the common question among family and friends was "When are you going to get married already!?" But we kept on dating and slowly developing our relationship into a strong friendship. On September 29th, 2007 we went to Paulo's mission reunion. As we were about one mile away, it started to snow. In the middle of falling snow, with no one around, Paulo aked me to marry him. The answer was of course YES! Saturday, January 26, 2008 at 10:30 am we were sealed for time and all eternity in the Bountiful, Utah temple. The weather was perfect and even so sunny that Paulo got a tan while outside taking pictures! The reception was everything we had imagined and dreamed of. It was the perfect day, and a perfect start to an eternity of friendship and love.
