There’s a nice little treat for those who make it to the bottom of the article. Yes, I disguised myself as a chef to propose

[Justin Genao @JustinJGenao]

I faced lots of humpy hurdles from the moment I bought the engagement ring to the moment I proposed a month later. But I also experienced the Lord pave new lanes that I could not have logistically planned beforehand.

From turdy water, to SUS phone calls, cars on fire, Mexicans, Russians, cold sores, and more! You wouldn’t believe it. 😖
