It's about our love tonight.
But mostly it's about you.
Because we wanted to trap you here all in the same place.
I want you to stay as long as you want to.
This is where I want to be.
Am never gonna leave on my own
for my values and being.
This is where I want to stay.
I can do this every day.
It don't matter what they say.
I know.
Because that's what this girl's about.
Love, friends, family.
And right now, everyone, here you are our family, Monica says.
They're all my family, Mom.
You better know.
We know what's going on.
I ain't never gonna do that. No.
And y'all
ain't never go around.
You just want a party for the next month, two months, three months together.
Move in with us. Come to the bungalow.
We only have two bedrooms, but we'll squeeze you in.
David had just graduated from Brandon High and Monica was in her senior year.
David found Monica on Facebook and he asked his best buddies about it.
David remembers showing everyone her default picture and just saying, Wow,
she is so beautiful.
And I just I got a notification on Facebook.
I had a message, Hey, do I know you?
I'm like, Yeah, you message me.
I don't. I don't know who you are.
And it was evident
that this story would be helped along by their high school best friend.
The two groups helped the relationship along by hanging out often
and pulling pranks on each other's front yards.
And it all started when Monica and her friends
dropped off a couch on David's front yard.
Maria and De Valls sure won't forget the day that David
and his friends returned that couch with their lawn.
I was sleeping and I heard a loud thud.
It turns out it was a couch being dropped off in our front lawn.
I heard screeching tires, a truck driving off, and I'm pretty sure I saw
Leon in the passenger's seat, but I still hadn't met David.
I remember being there for a couple of these pranks.
And while my first thought was,
Is this really how people in San Jose hit on one another?
I was
also excited for David because I felt that as each prank happened,
it felt like he was getting one step closer to being together with Monica.
We met David on Monica senior prom
night on May 7th of 2011.
And from then on, he's been like a son to us.
And I was literally jumping up and down on the front lawn
because I just had a feeling.
I'll never forget the day Monica, your friend, came over
and asked you to the prom.
Your mom and I looked at each other and
said, She's a keeper.
And ten and a half years later,
they're getting married.
As parents, you hope that your daughter will find that special.
Someone who will love her and keep her safe and happy.
That's all you ever want.
David, you are that special,
kind, smart and devoted, respectful, loving man.
We are confident
will take the best care of Monica.
I love everything about Monica.
She is light on my life.
I always want to be around her.
She's beautiful,
caring, loving.
She completes me.
I never, ever, ever want to be away from you.
It's all rise for the new Mr.
and Mrs..
If you got to take it,
you better change.
We ain't go dance that ass on the dance floor.
Just do it.
Let me show you what I do.
I just do it.
Yeah.
This is how I want to do it.
I want to show you.
Let me show you what I do.
I do.
Watch how I do it.
Yeah. This is how I do it.
How I do it lets me.
If she fell in love with this booty, this Monica duty classic, Fantastic.
Abracadabra.
I'm magic, and I'm sending out these good vibes an electric way.
Take a ride with me and we're walking on these.
Go to race.
Anything you ever seen before?
I'm everything and more.
I got to show you what I'm all about.
I got something.
I got to show you how
I've got to show you what I'm all about.
I got something is the best page I have ever seen.
Let me show you what I do.
I just want to do it. Yeah.
This is how I do it. I want to do it.
So let me show you how to do what I don't have to do it.
Yeah, this is how I do it.
I want to do it.
Lets me
wash me how I do it.
I love.
Oh, oh, yeah.
Blessed me how I do it. Why
we love.
I love that you are sensitive and you show your emotional side.
Yet you are tough and heroic.
You're the perfect balance and I often question if you're even human
sometimes because you're so perfect on evenings spent crying
or feeling sad, you grab my hand and begin to slow dance with me.
You do this for me until I could let every worry go.
And you never knew this.
But I always placed my head on your chest and listened to your heart
in this moment, I would always remind myself
that as long as this heart is still beating with mine,
nothing is worth being sad about.
You always used to ask me, Why me?
Why did you pick me?
You'd write these vows for the rest of the wedding day
and probably the rest of my life.
If I had to list every single reason why I knew you were the one for me.
You were incredibly handsome.
You allow me to be my crazy yourself.
And we all know that can be pretty crazy.
You love your family and you love your friends.
You love to laugh and enjoy the moment.
You love sports, you love animals.
And that one is huge because I want to own my entire zoo and our home someday.
You love my family and enjoy their company
and you are the number one most amazing person in the world.
I love everything about you.
I love that you are perfect for Mom to our three bunnies,
Leopard, gecko, and a precious puppy.
You take care of them also. Well, and I love you for that.
I love our little family so much.
I love that you always have the biggest smile in any room
that you walk into, paired perfectly with your perfect teeth.
Seeing you smile can change me from being sad or angry to instantly happy.
I love that you are very caring and are always there
for all of your family and friends.
You always put the ones you love for yourself.
I love that you are wild and crazy and you were down for literally anything.
You always want to have a great time and be free.
I promise to be loyal to every day for the rest of my life.
I believe you unconditionally
will only have my eyes on you.
It's you that makes me.
I promise to squeeze your butt at least once a day.
I promise to look back on memories in the past with you and smile and cry
all the moments that made us the happiest.
I promise to keep watching Disney movies with you and try my best
not to cry at the set parks.
But you know me. I know bawling all the time.
I promise to love you for as long as I live.
And forever after that you are my one true love.
And we were meant to be from the moment we met.
David, you may now kiss your bride.
Yes. The
first time I saw my son David, my heart melted.
And I knew what love was.
I'm so proud of you, son.
I want to thank my mom
for raising me to be the man I am today.
Thank you so much.
My parents have shown me what it means to be loyal and to be committed.
And all the qualities that I see in them
is what I looked for in a significant other.
I've done many things and I've worn many hats in my life.
I'm most proud of being a father and a husband.
David, you now share one of those hats where proudly
I remember ten years ago
when we first started dating,
we both knew that we wanted to marry each other.
You and I were inseparable
from the very start, and that wants to grow stronger every day
from all the inside jokes we have together and all the smiles we give each other
every single day. I'm everything about you
picked
your high school, Monica, and first year of college.
David.
You walked into Brandon to pick me up from school
so that I can spend time with you.
Remember those butterfly feelings we had?
And all we would do is just walk awkwardly and smile at each other.
Picture How?
When we used to say goodbye
to each other, we'd end up just coming right back to each other again.
As two kids with baby faces dancing, the Harlem Shake and my aunt's
living room, and just two kids enjoying genuine, simple moments together,
slowly approaching the day that we would be married.
Oh, oh, I'm in love.
This is real.
They don't get us out of fear.
Never understand where we hide this.
It's just another hope. This romance.
When you're young, darling, shake my head.
I look forward to
waking up next to you every single day of my life.
You give me a kiss every single morning for a lot of work.
I'm excited to go on many crazy adventures with you.
I'm just excited for
life.
