My Engagement Part 2
Thank you for the kind emails of congratulations that I received. Anyhow let me finish off the details about my engagement. Now where was I...
So, she was just sitting there, looking beautiful with the orange glow of the sunset just amplifying her beauty. My heart was racing more then you can imagine, I thought it would be a bit easier on the nerves, nope, not in the least.
She turned and looked at me, and asked, 'Why are you staring at me?'. Hmmm, I couldn't think of any reason, other then what I had brought her out there in the first place. I very calmly said, 'There is something I want to ask you...'
The sun was near the horizon, everything had lined up perfectly for me. I had always debated on the 'do I want to be down on one knee' when I asked this question. Well, no, I was not. I sure wasn't going to stand up from sitting on a blanket, to being on one knee, it seemed a bit tacky at the time.
I reached deep into my pocket, pulled out the white velvet box with the engagment ring that I've spent many hours at the park working on paying off. She instantly had a huge surprised look on her face (in a good way, of course). I said to her, as sweet as I possibly could '[MS Juicy Fruiter] will you be my wife?'. Her eyes were already tearing up, she just whispered 'Yes', I have never seen her so happy, it was a huge load off my chest. I put the ring on her finger, she then gave me a big hug and a kiss and stared at her ring.
We watched the sun set and ate the food I prepared (it was good!). That pretty much wraps up how we got engaged.
March 25 2007 is our wedding date, she has been going nuts with wedding stuff for months now, I just nod and say, 'that looks nice'.
We've been together for years, heres to the rest of them.
