The fun began February 4th 2011. I realize that it hasn't been that long since the engagement, but for some reason to me it feels like close to forever.
Friday, February 4th handsome proposed to me. We had tickets to see the Opera, Rinaldo in the city. We both got all dressed up and were very excited to experience this. We normally go to the Symphony, but had to switch it up. It was an interesting symphony and by the time we left it was getting late and I decided that I just wanted to go home and skip any of the other excitement still going on in the city. When we were heading back handsome stopped me and asked if I wanted to make it an even better/more memorable night than it already had been and my response was no I want to go to the car and go home. Mind you it was freezing out and I was in a cute strapless bubble black bubble dress, a ruffle sweater over top and then my black winter coat along with tights and high heels with a feathered headband to top it off. He kept persisting and I kept shooting him down because I thought he wanted to go to the dance club right across from us or out to a bar. Finally he said are you sure and pulled out a box. I was so in awe as he got down on one knee on the sidewalk, opened the box, and asked me if I would marry him. I was so excited that he was doing this and to see the gorgeous sparkly ring in the box. I said yeah, because we had wanted to get married for awhile and it was almost as if it was a silly question. OF COURSE I will marry you! The only people to witness this were the cars passing by and one suv honked. The rest of the night I was so excited and giddy. I kept looking down at my finger.
I still catch myself looking down at the ring. I wore a fairly cheap, but nice ring for the longest time on that finger just to show wandering eyes that I was happily taken. I have worn the ring ever since. I even sleep with it on. To me it's more than just a ring, it's the beginning of our life together.
