Joy is an American woman who is married to Alberto, who is Mexican. She recounts that, on the day they met, she was not looking for anything serious. She even surprised herself when she gave him her number.

Alberto had gone to a bar in Guanajuato with a friend. He lost his friend, but Joy’s beauty caught his eye. The Mexican did not miss the opportunity to approach the American and ask her to dance, not knowing he’d find love.

Alberto tried to impress Joy with his English

Alberto says that when he met Joy and asked her to dance, he tried to impress her by speaking English but he admitted that it wasn’t that good. He said Joy’s Spanish was much better than his English.

After dancing together in the bar in Guanajuato, Alberto thought Joy must have really liked him if she gave him her number. Neither of them imagined that a dance and a phone number would change their lives forever.

What did people think about your relationship?

Joy reveals that her friends in Alabama did not believe that Alberto was Mexican. Joy explains that it was because he did not fit their preconceived ideas of a Mexican. However, she says they didn’t judge her or Alberto.

Alberto, on the other hand, shares how he felt with the American’s family. He said that he was intimidated when he found out that Joy’s father was in the military. However when Joy’s family visited her in Guanajuato and they met Alberto, he felt welcomed by them.

The chaotic marriage proposal

Alberto remembers when he proposed to Joy. He took her to dinner at his favorite restaurant and he even thought of hiring a mariachi band. However, he did not expect the mariachis to be in hiding due to the rain that evening.

The Mexican revealed that his plan was to propose like they do in the United States, getting down on one knee to give Joy the ring, but he was so nervous he forgot to do it. Despite her nerves, Joy accepted his proposal and says she was delighted to unite their families.
