Family Engagement Stories

I was 30 years old, and still the only one in my group of friends to be in a serious relationship. After just five months of dating Roberta, I did the unthinkable.

My now fiance' Matt invited me to his grandparents' home in Lukenbach, TX for Christmas. His grandparents own acres of beautiful land in the middle of Texas Hill Country.

On Christmas morning, my former boyfriend-Robi (current fiance), my brother, sister-in-law, sister & her boyfriend and my parents got together to open presents. I opened mine last.

My name is Trisha Mesimer. I first met Angelo Martinez at a basement poker party that my brother was holding in my parents basement. He seemed really sweet and easy to get along with.

My girlfriend Veronica and I had been together for six years, ever since our freshman year in college. We were both working in the Twin Cities, MN, and ate lunch together daily.
