Love is...
It all started... Fall '02. Fresh out of highschool I started working at Target, and thats how we met. We were co-workers. I don't think we became friends initially but as time went on, we just started talking and became good friends. He claims he always had a crush for me. So after 2 yrs of having a friendship he finally decided to make a move. We started dating May '04. I believe after a 1 1/2 of dating he asked me to marry him. I believe I was 20 yrs old, it took me a little by surprise (everyone is going to hate me for this) but I said NO! I felt like I was too young to make such a BIG commiment to him. I thought he was too young! He had a ring and everything. I told him I thought we needed to grow a bit more and them maybe we would. He was heartbroken but I knew I had made the right choice for us.
We continued to date. He'd bring the subject once in awhile but I always said lets just wait a little longer. I think after awhile he stopped bringing the subject up. Everyone in our family would ask "So when are you guys getting married?" He would say "It's up to her". Things went on...we grew together. We had our rough times, but love over came it all. I think everything came to light for me was V-day '08. I was just told to be ready by a certain time, so I did. My day started with roses on my car, love notes! When he picked me up for dinner he had a bunch of red and pink roses at the door with an "I love you balloon" and fish in my vase with a very sweet card. We drove off to this secret place for dinner then I was handed a stuffed monkey and in the pocket of the monkey was a ring, he said to me this isn't an engagement ring but a promise ring that I will always love you and that one day we will be married. I know how sweet! So the surprise dinner was at Castaway in Burbank with the view of the valley at night it was the perfect most romantic thing this man had ever done for me.
One day I told him casually, maybe it's time to get married. I think his mouth dropped to floor. He was happy I could tell. I knew I loved this man. He was the one! I felt so stupid for not saying yes the first time. He was my bestfriend how can I not marry him?! So time went on...so now it was my turn to wait. So this is 2008 4yrs now that we had been dating. So every time I think he'd ask it was a NO. But maybe I deserved it, for making him wait so long. So a year had passed from the best V-day ever. So there I am thinking this it! He's going to pop the question I know it!!! V-day came and left and no question. Man, was I dissapointed. I dont think I've cried so much! So one day casually he said "Let's go to Dinner" I knew him popping the question wasn't going to happen because it was a casual dinner and he didn't make a big fuss about anything. I knew if I'd get my hopes again I'd be crushed. So I got ready like I usually do nothing special! So we go out and he said to me...wonderful things. The most sweetest things. Then he pulled a wooden box with a ring in it!(it was the most beautiful ring, I love it.) I started crying and said thats for me?! He said to me...this famous line which makes everyone tear when I tell the story....so he said " WILL YOU GROW OLD WITH ME?" I said "YES" and kissed! So 5yrs in our relationship I'm finally engaged to the man of my dreams. My bestfriend, My soulmate, My everything! I can't wait to marry this man! To be Mrs.M
