My Love Story by Marlón Flores

I met Yaquelin December 2013. She walked into my office in search of a new home loan. Little did she know she was going to meet the man that would think about her every single day for the next 4 months until we met again for our first date in April of 2014.

Some say that love at first sight does not exist. That evening when she walked into my office and I laid my eyes on her, I knew right then and there that I needed her in my life. Everything about her was exactly what I had prayed for in a woman. I knew absolutely nothing about her and that made her perfect in that moment. I was going to find a way to have her and nothing was going to stop me. I proceeded to obsess about how I was going to cross the line of being a professional and her my client, for the next several months. That was love at first sight for me. Her side of story of our first encounter may sound a little different.

A month later during a meeting with the business partner that referred her to my office Yaquelin’s name came up, this associate gave me the green light to ask her out on a date. In fact, she insisted and made me feel odd for not having already made a move. She a said Yaquelin and I would make a great couple and I might just be what she needed right now. With this false hope and false confidence, I went ahead and made my move. I called her that night and asked her out on a Sunday hike. She said “Uh, Sunday uh, I think I am actually completely free I don’t have anything going on, but let me get back to you”. She e-mailed me the next day and said she had a family obligation she had forgotten about and that she would take a raincheck.

That Sunday a picture of her with a guy sitting very comfortably next to each other came up on my facebook feed. I showed the picture to all my co-workers the next day. They assured me “he looked like just a friend” and not to worry about it, that I still had a shot, then they laughed in my face. This motivated me even more. A few days past and I decided to type up a very poetic, clever, and witty email then I sent it to her asking her out again. She replied, and said she would get back to me in a month.

A month past with no word back from her, so I decided to try a different approach and I crafted another master piece in the form of a text message, this was my third attempt. It consisted of “There is something about you I really like, I just can’t put my finger on it. How about I pick you up at 7 for dinner on Saturday and we can figure it out?”. She finally, actually said yes! However, in all honestly if she had said no again, I would have found another way to ask her. By pigeon, smoke signal, or even a flying airplane banner. I was not going to let this one get away.

Fast forward to today, Yaquelin has completely changed my life. I have never experience life the way I have with her. Between our day to day laughs and our globe-trotting adventures, every day with her is special. I was lucky enough to only have to ask her once to marry me. Now we are excited to have all of you celebrate with us on this special day. This will be our biggest adventure yet!

Yaquelin’s Side of the Love Story

After walking into Marlon’s office, I quickly realized that I liked nothing about him and that business was going to be the only thing we would end up doing together. In fact, I decided to take my business elsewhere, and yet he continued to ask me out on dates which was very strange. I finally accepted to go out to dinner as I thought it took a lot of balls to be rejected time and time again yet to still keep at it.

Three and a half years later, I couldn’t be anymore blessed to have him in my life as he is exactly what I needed all along. We’ve been on numerous adventures and know we will continue to travel the world one place at a time. He is my soulmate and I now know he was meant for me.
