wrapped in whispers, kissed with ambrosia
As of Sunday, I'm a taken man.
I'd been making the plans since March, and this week I got to act upon them.
Everything started getting a little ironic in the couple of days before the big day. Her sister decided to ask me why I had called to confirm Jess's ring size back in March and I think Holly was asking about it again. I tried to get holly to help me out and bring the flowers, but that fell through and Jess' sister ended up telling her mom about it and she offered to pick them up for me. I even asked for her father's blessing and got her for the bargain price of two cows and three chickens. Both of us later said that there really ought to have been a tractor invovled somewhere in that transaction, lol. Everything that day was reminding me of it, especially the songs that were playing on the radio.
I started the day out with something that's kind of become "our thing"... chinese food and a round of dinosaur shooting at the arcade, lol. We did a couple of other things after that, and then we swung by her house and I distracted her with a massage while her mom put the flower in Jess's car for me. Then, I took her for a walk at the park where we walked during the week that we first met each other over a year ago. I had her wait with her eyes closed under the sunlight and the shade of the trees on the path while I ran to the car and came back with the boquets of yellow daisy's.. all I was missing was the white horse. I told her to open her eyes and open the fortune cookie that had the classic words of advice "say yes" inside. Then I got down on my knee and proposed.
Next thing I know, I hear a click off in the bushes. Her granny was waiting there taking pictures. I guess word had got around fast, lol.
