My family thought a 7 day cruise vacation would be the perfect reward for freshly graduated high schooler. Little did we know that on that cruise, I would meet my future husband! I truly was not prepared for this moment. Here’s how it all went down. Me, my mom and my nanny were sitting to a small table between the pool and the bar enjoying the sun and fresh air before we departed from the cruise port. My mother keeps telling me one of the photographers keeps eyeing me down when I would turn my head. She let’s out a laugh when one of them trips on a chair while staring at me. I immediately dismissed her statement because if anything I had enough confidence to fit into my back pocket. Shortly after her comment on the situation two photographers are standing right in front of us. One looking very excited to be done with the shift and the other, rather tall, looking like a kid in a candy store. The tall guy introduces himself as Senadin. With every word he speaks you can tell he is not lacking in the confidence department. He continues to ask for our names. And With every word I speak I can feel my cheeks begin to heat up and it becomes nearly impossible to hide my very visible blush. They quickly continue to pose us for a picture. Senadin being cheesy saying beautiful with every click of his camera. And with that he tells me “I’ll definitely be seeing you around”. And is gone just as quick as he came. I’m left asking my mom, “Do you think he liked me?” “Could you see my blush?” “He was handsome, wasnt he!”.

The next night my family and I decided to go to the comedy club for some stand up comedy. I being the stand up connoisseur I am, was pretty pumped to watch an act. Before the comedian went on, the MC of the club invited anyone to come up on stage. Right before she made the announcement, I saw Senadin and a couple of the fellow photographers come in. Before I could even register what I was doing, I was up on stage with 6 other people. The MC informs us to show our best dance move. Of course me being the spunky 19 year old my best dance move was the infoumous “twerk”. Now let me remind you this is when the twerk movement was full swing. I twerked on stage in front of 100 people just to get the attention of Senadin. This was far out of my comfort zone.
