What brought you two together?

My fiancé Calvin and I met in DC in 2015. I am a Navy nurse and he is a teacher. We dated for 3 years before I found out the military was moving me to Rota, Spain. Calvin did everything he could to find a job in Spain, unfortunately, he was not able to find one. We started looking into other countries and realized that Morocco, Africa was only 3 hours by car and ferry from the town I would be living in. To our surprise there we found an American school in Morocco that offered him a job, Calvin accepted the job. We like to say 2019 was the best year of our lives we got to see each other every weekend, and holiday and spent the entire summer together. We were able to travel all over Europe and Morocco, it was a dream come true. In March 2020, our perfect arrangement was ruined by COVID, the borders between Morocco and Spain shut down and we were not able to see each other for 9 months. We were desperate to see each other for the holidays, Calvin wrote a letter to the Spanish Border patrol and told our Love story. To our surprise, they granted him authority to travel between countries! Calvin had the ring purchased and knew he wanted to propose during this trip, however, the ring was stuck in the states. Calvin was not able to get the ring overseas due to insane insurance and ended up proposing on a rooftop overlooking Morocco, Gibraltar, and Spain without the ring. We kept it ourselves as a private moment and he planned a second proposal with the ring once we returned to the States! In July 2021 Calvin Finally was able to propose with the ring surrounded by family during our first family vacation back in the States. We started making plans to plan our wedding, everything got put on hold because I got deployed to help with Afghanistan refugee efforts. Fast forward to now and we are FINALLY able to begin planning our wedding! We love your work and look forward to hearing from you soon!
