Hilda and Bo

Hilda Marie Murray is a Travel Agent working in Tampa, FL. Hilda is 23yrs old. Donald Joseph Baldwin is a Sanatation Worker in Plant City, FL. Donald is 27 yrs old.

On September 3rd, 2000, Hilda and Donald met at a Country Club in Lakeland, FL. We were both so nervous. Donald asked me to dance to a song named " Keeper of the Stars " by Tracy Byrd and after that song ended another slow song came on called " Amazed " by Lone Star we contiued to dance. During the two songs I felt in my heart that Donald was the one for me and that we would be spending the rest of our life together.

On April 13th, 2001 ( Friday the 13th ), I was getting home from a long day at work and Donald was at my house and rushing me to get into the house and get changed so we could go out to eat together. So I went inside and got dressed up and Donald took me to Olive Garden - he was acting kind of strange and I kept asking him what he has planned and he kept saying nothing, nothing at all. Well 2 of our friends showed up and we got seated, order our drinks and ordered our food and all of a sudden Donald and his friend had to go to the restroom and my friend was sitting at the table trying to keep me from asking questions. Well the guys came back and the waiter brung our food to us and the waiter served my food last, I kept talking to Donald and to our friends and I pciked up my fork and looked down and there was my ring - IN MY FOOD.... I was lost for words.. Donald looked at me and said " Hilda, Will you marry me " I was still lost on what to say, and I said " Yes ".

In May of 2001 we set our Wedding date to September 28th, 2002 in Lakeland, FL at Ardella Baptist Church.

I couldnt be happier. Til this day I always look at my food before eating. We are now 84 days until we tie the knot and we are both still asking eachother - Is this a dream?
