It's officially official!!
He proposed! We're getting married!!
Truth be told, we've been planning our wedding in secret for quite a while now... we just wanted to wait to make the big announcement until Mal could afford to buy me a proper engagement ring and propose, which he was finally able to do yesterday. Here's how he asked me:
Mal brought me back to the club where we first met, The Bank. It's called Transit now, and the club was closed when we went, but he just wanted to stand outside at the doors. He said, "11 years ago, you walked into this club and picked me out right away as the one you wanted. I brought you back here tonight for the same reason. You're the one I want, if you'll have me. Will you?"
My reply was, "Of course!"
"Really?"
"Really."
"For true?"
"For true!"
Then he pulled out the box and presented me with the ring. He slipped it on my finger, and we kissed. When we were done kissing, I saw tears rolling down his cheek. It was so sweet and romantic!
So, it's officially official public knowledge now... we'll be married in June!
