Hello!
My fiancé is Mexican and I really wanted to share our engagement story without racist preconceptions.
He is an undocumented immigrant, which I know, is technically a crime, but love knows no borders.
Anywho, we met about three years ago or so, and after almost a year, he had to return to mexico to take care of his mother. We were apart for almost another year, I visited twice, and we did the long distance thing. But, we were both going crazy from not being together and his mom was doing fine. So, he told me that he promised to come back to the United States, legally or illegally to be with me. At the beginning of February, I knew something was up because he only called me a couple of times and the calls were only a few minutes long. Then, On Valentines day of 2010, he called me to ask me to pick him up at the bus stop in Oakland, CA. He has risked getting caught by INS, getting into trouble with coyotes, and risked his life to come back to me. So, at 6am on that day, I pick him up and we go back to my apartment where my best friend had slept over and he kneeled down and said, "The only thing I thought that was worthy of crossing the border with was this ring, and I want you to be mine and I promise to never leave you alone again." He was covered in dirt and grime from the desert and pulled the ring off his necklace.
I love him, and now, coincidentally, we're moving back to Mexico to get married.
