On April 21st 2018 I (Becky) was invited to an outing to support a fellow gym member at a local fight by Melissa and Armando. I never would of imagined that night would forever change my life. That night as we pulled into the venue Armando Jr. , although we had never had a full conversation and knew very little about each other, said during casual conversation

"I'd take you to Reno tomorrow and marry you!"

I totally dismissed him. Boy, was life about to change! The next few months, maybe years, of my life were the most challenging I've ever faced and he stood through them stead fast, solid, and more loving than I've ever expected or experienced in my life. Not only for me, but for all that came with me. He became my best friend, gentle critic when needed and just in general my rock. On April 11th 2026, just days short of 9 years, since that first group outing together, and 5 years since he proposed we will officially be joining our families together as one. I could not be more thankful for the Love and grace he has shown not just me but also my children over the last 9 years.

It all started with a crush! I tried many times to get your attention but you paid me no mind but on 21April2018 I got an actual chance to be around the most beautiful woman I had ever seen. That night was a full of laughter and conversation and all I could think to myself was OMG my leg is touching her leg! That night is was started it all and what I didn't realize made me an overnight father of 4 and grandpa of 4 now. Although we didn't know it at the time that it would transform into love and life and we would continue to be by each others side during the happy times and the crucial times. Your an amazing mother, friend, and spouse that has gone above and beyond even when you have nothing left to give. Your selflessness and courage to make a decision and pick yourself back up and restore your happiness speaks volumes. I love you more than anything in the world and I'm so blessed that we are leaping into the next step life has to offer. As we continue to love, learn and grow together I can promise you that I will try my hardest to bring you happiness and be the best husband I can be. For the past 8 years you became my best friend, partner and woman I wanted to do better for in life so thank you for pushing me to build myself to be the best man I could be at this moment. All I can say in life sometimes you have to take a drunk girl home!
