I love the idea of journaling my planning so I will start one!!! Yay!
Well, lets start at the beginning...
10/2006 -
My boyfriend, Mike, asked me if I would like to go see the Christmas Spectacular. I love Christmas and I love NYC during the season so I of coarse said yes. Then he asked if I wanted to go the morning of Christmas Eve "because we only have plans for the night so we may as well fill the day". Again, I said yes. I hung up the phone and called my mom. Mike is so not the type to plan something like this so I was suspicios. My mom told me not to get my hopes up for a Christmas Eve engagement because I would be so let down if it didn't happen - so I convinced myself that I was way off base.
10/2006 - 12/23/2006
I asked Mike almost every day "when are we getting engaged?" and every day he told me "2007- before May". But Christmas Eve still lingered in my head. So the night before we were going to the show I looked at him and said "is this our last night as a dating couple?" He looked at me appologetically and said "I'm sorry, but no".
12/24/206
I woke up, got ready, Mike came to pick me up, we went to McDonalds on the way because I was starving. We parked in NYC walked around --- I WAS CLUELESS. Then we went to Rockafellar Center to see the tree. I took pictures, we had someone take a pic of us in front of the tree and then Mike says......
"Can we go sit down on that bench so that I can fix my sock?"
I said "sure" --- still CLUELESS!
We walk over to the bench, sit down, he starts nervously gabbing about his sock .... IT HITS ME!!!!!!!!!! I panick, I stand up desperately searching for a private spot where people will not stare at us (mind you there were 2 people around but I am really paranoid about things like that when I have a minute to think about it)
Mike asks me to sit - I say no.
He asks me again - I say no again.
I am shaking
He asks me again and I say - "Are you proposing to me?"
He says "Maybe, now please sit!"
I said "no, I am so nervous"
The look of shock on his face - poor guy!
Thats it! I just ruined my proposal!
So I finally sat, and he just pulled me close so no one would see (despite the fact that he would have shouted it off a rooftop had I not been so paranoid) and he asked me to marry him!!!! I said yes, cried, appologized for ruining it and then we were off to the show. Lets just say I didn't watch it very closely through my tears of joy!
Awkward? yes? Not the way we would have planned it? Not really. Perfect for us? ABSOLUTLEY.
Everyone who knows us knows that thats just how we work together. The story had all of our friends and family hysterical that night when we got to announce our engagement!
Now its wedding planning time!!!!!
Until my next entry (there is lots to catch you all up on)!
