We're Engaged!
After close to three years of dating my unbelievable boyfriend finally got down on one knee and popped the question! Over Labor Day weekend we went to down to LA to visit some friends and live it up a bit, and live it up we did. We arrived Friday evening and got right to the festivities with two of my close girlfriends. On Saturday morning my fiance (so weird) really wanted to go to Santa Monica that evening, but we had plans to go to the beach on Monday so I was putting up a fight.
Somehow, miraculously both of my friends "had to work" that evening so we were able to go while we were killing time before going out. We walked around on the sand, pier, and looked for a spot to grab a drink around sunset; little did I know that was his plan all along. When he mentioned an older couple walking in the sand, I said "that's us!" and we talked about them for a moment and how we hoped that would be us walking around on the beach one day. He mentioned that he wanted the water out of our backpack he was carrying so he turned and set it down. He began to tell me all the things I could only dream I was hearing, got down on one knee, and asked me to be his wife. People on the beach were clapping and cheering, but I was still in shock; had that really just happened??
He then proceeded to tell me he had another surprise, uh oh. "We have paparazzi" he said and pointed to a good friend of his taking pictures of us. We all chatted then headed back to my friend's place to get ready to go out and celebrate. Woo hoo!
Everyone seems to be curious if I knew it was going to happen or not and the answer is, "yes and no". I had no idea that the proposal was going to happen going into the trip/weekend, but I knew there was something fishy going on that day. I tried to tell myself that it might just be something else and not a proposal but of course I had a hunch...
I could not be more happy to have my dream ring, dream man, and dream life right at my fingertips. <3
