Me and Alexis, this was back in I think, I think now it's like seven, almost seven
years now where we met at San Jose State and I believe we were both in the
buying group at Duncan Hall where she would just do her little dancing
routines, that one part of the routines. But it was just super super random like
I think it was just more of a hi nice to meet you and then that was it but we
really got to know each other a little bit later on after that whole event.
We wanted to do the social experiment where me and Alexis try to pretend that
we were actually a boyfriend and girlfriend and so we recorded it, have a
recording where we would actually say hey, Alexis, you know, will you be my
girlfriend or boyfriend? We've been my boyfriend and she actually said yes and
so for a while while we're at French and games we're pretending you know we're
seeing boyfriend and girlfriend and after that was done we kind of got even
more comfortable with each other while we're like hey this is actually pretty cool, you know, pretending that we're boyfriend and girlfriend and they kind of got a little bit more serious as the months went on.
For me, personality wise, I was always super shy, like I had a lot of friends that were guys but I wasn't really, I guess, I wasn't really very much trying to find a boyfriend and plus I never had one before so it was really weird but basically the thing that it's just, we got to know each other more in our personalities even though they were super different.
They really started to kind of, we found similarities in our different personalities which made us kind of like attract towards each other, I guess.
It had a lot of butterflies in my stomach, it was really hard to, you know, really get into that moment because I know that this is going to be pretty much a lifetime experience and having it with Alexis is no better way to have it.
So I was getting kind of nervous, it was in New York, it was exactly November of last year, 2010, it was at Central Park and I was trying to find a place where we could, you know, have it like memorable.
He was really, really in a hurry to get back to Central Park because I kept on saying that I wanted to see the Serendipity ice skating rink but I still, this is our second time in New York and I still hadn't got the opportunity to even skate on the rink so it was like I really wanted to see it.
So we actually went, we walked like blocks upon blocks, mile upon mile to try to get to that ice skating rink in time because I know they closed like at 11.30 but unfortunately we got there a little too late but we still got to see it.
So the whole time he was directing me of where to go so we got to the ice skating rink, we took pictures by it and not in it and then we were going to the park and then he started leading me in another direction and I'm like, oh my gosh Harris, where are you going because it's close to midnight and we're going to get attacked by homeless people.
And it was fine and everything else and then the moment where it was getting close to the time we were going to ask her, she was getting a little scared, a little hesitant because she didn't know what to expect.
We're in unfamiliar grounds and she was all like, uh, I think we should go somewhere up and be like, wait, wait, I need to ask you something.
So it was funny at first but then I decided to make that proposal and she said yes.
You know, every time we, you know, say it's our anniversary or whatever each year, it always feels like it's so short.
You know, like we could last a longer, longer, longer time because we know that we won't get bored of each other and because of that there's so many things that we could always uncover because every day we always find something new about each other.
We're able to really, I mean if we did have a disagreement we were able to squash it really quick and I mean we never quarreled or argued and it just kept the relationship going really nice.
She's a totally different person from anybody I've met, anybody I've encountered.
You know, she brings this aura of like, of comfort, I guess to begin to say, like I feel very comfortable with, you know, being around her, you know, anything that I do.
She doesn't, she doesn't like react a certain way, she's not over-emotional, you know, she goes through anything that I go through, she's always there for me and I respect her for that and I love her for that.
And that's what makes the group, one of the few reasons why, of many many reasons why I, you know, I don't mind, like whatever it is, even if I like do something bad, she's always there to forgive me and everything.
I really love that.
Definitely, I'm definitely excited to spend the rest of my life with him.
Just the way he is, like the super confident and loves to show off and it's funny because like looking forward to our relationship and looking forward to our marriage, it's like our opposite personalities are going to be out even more,
but I mean I think that's what makes it so much nicer is that because we're opposites, like it just makes everything more lively and that's I think what I'm looking forward to the most.
Like just spending that much time with him, traveling around with him, everything.
