The Proposal!!

I knew that we had looked at rings and Kyle knew which one I loved!! So the rest was all up to him. I told Kyle that I honestly wanted to be surprised. I didn’t want to know when he bought the ring, talked to my dad, etc….

Well lets just say Kyle is not good with secrets. And also that he has figured out that missing with my mind is fun and easy to do. It kills me when people have secrets, hint at them and wont tell me!!! And he decided this was a good idea to play into. He let slip that he was buying the ring on Friday and I he let me know when he had talked to my dad.

Well all weekend he kept messing with my mind. He kept dropping hints such as: Its really sparkly and radiant*you wont be needing to upgrade any time soon*my car has really good hiding places*choosing a diamond is hard*It takes less time to get the ring then you thought*it could happened any time…

Then he kept psyching me out such as on Friday during half time he whispered in my ear come up stairs I have something to show you (still glad you didn’t propose that way)

He kept hinting at dates: Like my birthday, Christmas, Thanks Giving, etc.

So lets just say that going into Wednesday night I was not expecting what was coming. I was just expecting a normal Wednesday night date.

When I got out of the car Kyle gave me his cheesy little grin I love (and yes babe I could sense some nervousness on your part). He came around the car gave me a good hug and kiss and said ok I have a surprise for you. …..Side note time I had mentioned that he had been messing with me for a week so a part of me was hoping for the ring but I wasn’t letting my self get my hopes up cause I thought for sure he was just messing with my mind again to get me so thrown off that I would not expect it when it came.

Kyle kindly let me know there were two rules to the surprise 1)I had to be blindfolded and 2) I could not ask questions about where we were going. I tried hard to not ask but I could not help my self a few times and I had to ask.

After what like seemed a long drive we came to a stop. Kyle helped me out of the car and with my jacket. And then started leading me along. I could feel grass, then side walk and something strange under my feet. Then eventually we came to a stop, he turned me around and said don’t move, turn around or peek. So I obliged (granted I had no clue what I was standing on so I was a little nervous to even move). All I knew is it smelled like fall and I knew we were out side. At this moment I though either he took me somewhere fancy for dinner to throw me off or he was proposing.

After a few minutes (ok probably not really but it seemed like forever) he told me to take off the blind fold and turn around. I found my self standing on the bridge at Draper Park (yes remember the I love you date!) He had martnelies poured into champagne glasses on the rail of the bridge. When I turned around he started pulling out a ring box. I got super excited and couldn’t contain my self all while thinking this better be real or your in trouble big trouble. He had to contain my excitement while getting down on one knee and asking me to marry him!! Of course I accepted.
