Real Engagement: Ivette & Andres in Chino Hills, CA

Thursday, August 26th, 2010

I absolutely adore this bride-to-be Ivette. She is such a sweetheart. You are going to love some of the moments and feelings she shared with us.

How did you two meet?

I was already in a serious relationship of 8 years, and had been very unhappy. Andres, my fiancé and I were working at Sam’s Club in chino hills and I had heard from everybody that he had the biggest crush on me. I of course ignored it because I had somebody and wasn’t interested at the time. Oh I didn’t know who he even was.

One day, my manager ask me to assist him, and as I walked towards him I couldn’t help, but notice how red he got. I had to spot for him while he drove forklift. He got so nervous that he couldn’t drive lol. I started to notice him, he would tell me everyday how beautiful I was and how lucky my boyfriend was. I know all guys tell this to girls. Then they want to get with them, but I actually believed him. Everyday he would find a way to see me.

I started to notice him. I broke it off with my boyfriend at the time and it started becoming more obvious that I had real feelings for him. 5 years ago on valentines day was our first date, and we have been together since then. He says he loved me from the first time he saw me. I fell hard for him the first time we held hands.

How did he propose?

Well, he had planned to propose 2 months before we found out we were pregnant. He convince my family to drive me back to Southern CA without him because I never travel without him (we live near San Francisco). He told me he couldn’t get time off work, so the whole time I thought he really couldn’t come.

Every time he would call me he would drive to a tire shop (since that’s were he works, Costco) and pretended he was working, but the whole time he had drove the day after n planned the proposal. Je had asked my parents to meet him at a local donut shop and ask them permission for hand. He knows how important they are to me.
