The Engagement

 We’ve been knowing for a few months that we want to get married, we even have a date picked out. We've been remodeling our home preparing for my move in, and we've started pre-marital counseling. All this with no ring, no proposal. I didn't

need any of that to know that I wanted to spend the rest of my life with this man.

Last weekend February 15th, B surprised me with the most beautiful proposal I could ask for. After not doing or getting anything on Valentines Day (and I’m not one of those girls that thinks its just another day) I figured “welp maybe next year”. Saturday, B told me that he’d felt bad about not doing anything for me on Valentines Day and that we had dinner reservations at 7pm for the Hereford House, the same place we celebrated our first (dating) anniversary. Well we arrived, and I was in a rush to order but for some reason B wasn’t. After meaningless chatter and B staring at his phone hopelessly all of a sudden someone starts singing, beautifully, I might add, Tyrese’ “What Am I Going To Do” (a week before all this happened B told me that this song reminds him of us). The rest of the story goes like this…

Me: Wow I didn’t know they played live music here.

B: (calmly) me either.

Me: Oh you know what it must be for Valentines Weekend, how cool.

(music plays more)

Me: Hey baby, this is our song.

B: (leaving chair) I planned this entire thing, (gets on one knee), will you marry me?

(pure shock)

B: Will you?

Me: YES!!!!!

After that all of our friends and family were either there behind a divider, or they were showing up. He made me feel like the most important woman in the world, which is no different than how he normally treats me. That is why I knew from the beginning, without a ring, without an “official” proposal, that this is the man I wanted to spend the rest of my entire life with.
