By popular demand... the details...
Well hopefully I can do this all justice... so here it goes...
So Friday night I was heading home to celebrate my birthday with my family since I hadn't done that yet and Dave's birthday since it was this past Thursday. I got home and Dave was already there which I didn't think much of because he works 3 minutes from my house so it just made sense that he would hang out with the rents after work and until I got there. As planned we went to dinner with them and my aunt and uncle. All through dinner we all just chit chat about this and that catching up and what not, and I had no clue that everyone (except me of course) knew that he was proposing that night. So after dinner we get in the car and I'm like let's rent a movie and he's like yeah and let's get hot chocolate and we can just cuddle on the couch. We go to the video store and wander around for awhile, hit up dunkin donuts and drive around a little bit listening to some good songs on the radio and finally head home. Now I had thought maybe he was going to propose down at the seawall where we had always hung out in the summer when we first got together. And I sort of thought it would be this past weekend but when we pulled up in front of my house I was like oh I guess its not going to be. Plus I mean we had rented a movie and everything so I definetely thought this wasn't going to be happening. So we get into the house and its pitch black and I hear this sound coming from the family room. I freak out, totally scared like what the hell is that sound. Then I look at the family room and the sliding door to it is closed and its never closed and I knew it wasn't closed when we left. And there is a light coming from underneath, but not like the lights are on. I'm totally freaking out like who the hell is in my house. He's all like let's go see and I'm standing near the table trembling like I'm going nowhere near that door. So he opens the door and nothing jumps out and kills him so I figure its safe to go over and see whats up. So when I get near the door and look in there are all these candles and flowers all over the room and there is a mock seawall across the back window and a moon with a flashlight on it so it looks like its glowing. And of course now I see what's going on and he starts the speech and gets down on one knee and asks and shows the ring and I say yes!!
I never expected it to be at my house but it was honestly the most beautiful and romantic thing I've ever seen. It was like being in one of those tv shows or movies, def my own little proposal fantasy.
Oh and the sound was the sound of the ocean, which wasn't so scary once I figured it out. And there were rose petals on the floor which looked like seashells at first. It was just like my own little seawall right in my house. So we just spent the night drinking champagne sitting in the middle of it all. It was the best night ever.
So we don't have a date date but tentatively next June. I want an outdoor wedding in a garden so we are shooting for the warmer weather. And for those of you who don't know him, he'll be around for alum weekend so you'll all get to meet the man who found a way to get me to settle down. I can't wait to see all of you and celebrate!!!
