"His love is deeper than the ocean"

I really had no idea. We went on our yearly vacation this time to our favorite place Cancun!. We traveled with Jerry & Christina, so we were extra excited to get there.  Once we arrived we felt closer than ever. Like the first night we were walking on the beach when he stops and holds my chin and said," There is no place Id rather be. Than right here, right now with you" I told him, thanks babe I feel the same way" He doesn't know but I was thanking God for giving me this joyful love in my heart.

The next day was even better, we got to meet our new favorite people from New Zealand. We had a blast after hours of sharing stories and drinks, Chuck lets them in on his plan. By this time a storm is brewing and it was pouring so bad, that I didn't think we were gonna get out of the room.  Chuck enlightens me by telling me that he set up a romantic dinner on the beach.  I told him is crazy! and that there is no way that it can happen with the rain. I told him I should try to get his money back" I'll just throw my spanish in" when i called to cancel, a lady answers.  I kid you not, this Lady said with a firm voice, "YOU CANT CANCEL, EVERYTHING IS SET AND WE WILL BE EXPECTING YOU!" then hung up. Umm, I guess were going.

Walking down to the beach with our umbrellas something happened, It suddenly stopped raining and the sky cleared the rolling clouds and it was the most magical view you can ever imagine. 

A table for two with a light shape heart around the table & tiki torches. We were waited by our private waiters and had my favorite dinner, Lobster and steak, Yumm. We had wine, we were laughing and taking selfies and thats when I noticed that he wasn't laughing just smiling. I ignored it. Then it was dessert time, the waiter mentioned it was cheesecake! with a raised eyebrow. Great! "I so love cheesecake".

This is the weird part, Chuck gets up and goes to the bathroom and the waiters put a bright blue light right on me. I'd figure it was for the mosquitos or something. I see chuck coming back sits back down, his face is red, anyway the waiter brings a glass plate with chocolate design with chocolate string and cheesecake. Uh fancy! this is when chucks starts tearing up while I'm grabbing the chocolate and start nibbling on it like fatty  (not noticing the whole plate) he starts crying and my heart just drops and I ask " whats wrong?" then I start crying. I felt like i couldn't breath just seeing his face and tears coming down his face, He KNELT down and grabs the ring and he pops the question "will you marry me, I love you" I didnt know what to say I thought you were gonna tell me your dying "yes babe, are you sure? yes of course" we were both crying and for some reason we started to slow dance the waiters were clapping and Jerry and Christina came out of the bushes taking pictures of this perfect proposal.

"WHEN THE TIME IS RIGHT, I , THE LORD WILL MAKE IT HAPPEN".. ISAIAH 60:22

it was June of 2018, and we were on our yearly trip to Cancun with our amazing friends Jerry and Christina  Prior to arriving at the airport, I handed Jerry a tiny box and told him to smuggle this into Mexico for me. He looked at me with a huge grin and said “is this what I think this is” as I nodded and said “you need to keester it.”  

I knew that I was going to, but didn’t know when.  I waited for days to find the magical moment when I knew everything would be perfect.  Suddenly a lady walked up to me and described a romantic moonlit dinner on the beach the following night.  This was it, the moment was set.  

We woke up in the morning and walked off to the pool where I secretly acted like it was just another day.  I told Jerry of the big plans, but made him keep it a secret.  This was my first mistake. I learned right then to always tell your buddies wife when secret plans are made.  As the song Despasito played in the background, I looked over and saw Christina and Elsa pounding cocktails and attempting to drink México dry of tequila.   I sat there sweating, as I watched drink after drink pour down their throats.  I kicked Jerry a hundred times telling him to control his wife, but he just shrugged with a what can I do look on his face. After I saw Elsa doing the chicken dance on her way back from the restroom, I knew I had to tell Christina what was up.   Christina looked at me in horror as Elsa was licking guacamole off her arm telling me she wanted to buy a pet horny goat.  

We pulled Elsa out of the pool and headed to our rooms, with a promise of cookies and Jell-O shots and threw her into the tub.  I went into the bathroom five minutes later and saw the room full of bubbles like a Cancún rave party.  There were bubbles five feet high covering the entire room, but Elsa was gone. Like a brave hero, I dug her out of her bubble avalance and quickly knocked on Christina’s door in a panic.   As we walked into the bathroom, I told her “you have one hour to get her sober and ready.”  With a “I can do it attitude” Christina waded into the room, as I left to go have a calming beer.   

An hour later, as a minor tropical storm had ended and the rain faded into a starry night, Elsa walked out to the beach and we headed toward our private table.   I slipped the ring to the waiter and asked him to bring it to me with dessert.   When the meal was finally over, a large red plate with the words “I love you forever” and the ring were set down in front of her.  Once she finally saw the ring, I got down on my knees, looked into her eyes and asked her to marry me.   I still remember her magical words “are you sure” as I said “yes I love you forever, marry me.”
