In this personal YouTube vignette, Betsy Guerra recounts the moment she first saw the man who would become her husband at a bowling alley. She describes an immediate, intense attraction, describing it as feeling like she had known him her whole life. After returning from a flight, she tells her devout Catholic father that she has met the man she will marry, emphasizing the seriousness of her feeling by promising that if she does not marry him she will become a nun. Her father reacts with amusement, but Betsy insists on the sincerity of her vow, linking it to her deep love for God. The narrative concludes with a light‑hearted note that her husband claims she married him to avoid becoming a nun, while she maintains that her promise was far more significant than a simple joke.

Chapters

I would have married my husband the day I met him. When I went to the bowling alley and saw my man, I was like, where have you been my entire life? There you are. I just knew. I knew. So much so that when I got home after my flight, I told my dad, who's a super diehard Catholic, I'm like, Papi, I met the man I'm gonna marry. And he laughed at me. He's like, I've heard that before, hahaha. I'm like, no, no, no, you don't understand. I met the man I'm gonna marry. Papi, if I don't marry this guy, I promise you, and I'm a woman of my word, So I really meant my promise. And I, you know, I love God with all my heart. I really meant this. I told him, I promise you I will become a nun. My husband says I married him to not become a nun, but I promise it was a lot more than that.
