Q: How did you two first meet?

A: We met while I was working as a barmaid. He was a bit shy at first, so he added me on facebook to make it easier to talk lol

Q: What makes your relationship special? Tell us some things that you both value in your time together.

A: I believe what makes our relationship unique is that we genuinely enjoy each others company and are each other’s best friend – from traveling to new places to just making breakfast at home – together is our favorite place to be (corny, but true). Some may need groups of friends all the time in order to go on adventures, we just need each other.

Q: How did you know your partner was the one? When did you first know this in your relationship?

A: I knew he was the one when I saw how he treated his family, mainly his parents and nieces and nephews. The value he gives to his family is the same value I have towards mine.  They all know they can always count on him in every way possible.

Q: Give us all the details about the proposal.

A: Derek proposed to me on March 16, 2017. Since we are both NY Knicks fans, we try to go to a game every year in the fall or winter. This time he picked a winter game. We sat very close to the court which was super exciting. During halftime, one of the MSG workers started calling out seat numbers and I didn’t really pay much mind until he approached us and I noticed he was calling ours. He asked Derek and me to stand up and come with him towards the court. He began explaining how we were chosen to play a game on the big screen and that we would have to say the answer. I was shaking, not really understanding what was going on, and he walked us onto the basketball court. As they counted down the seconds to the question, I just kept hoping I wouldn’t say the wrong answer. However, the question that popped up on the big screen wasn’t the question I was expecting. It said “Anna Paula, will you marry me? I love you, Derek,” and there he was on one knee on MSG’s basketball court. It was one of the most amazing moments ever, and the answer was yes, yes, yes!
