chineyelovesrickey's Purple wedding

The proposal....hmmmm where should I begin??? I'll start from the begining

Well me and my hunnybunny have been together for over 3 years and lately we have been talking about marriage...5 of my dear friends have gotten or are in the stages of getting married....so how could we not talk about it? So Rickey tells me that some time this year we would be engaged...so I knew it was coming but just didn't know when...and I told him "don't talk about it be about it" because I did't want to get my hopes up and it not happen.

blahblahblah...

The day of the proposal...

So I am a 7th grade science teacher in Los Angeles and I was reading to my students while they were working on a science poster and my principal and my mentor (who is like a second mother to me) come in through the back door (I have 3 doors - 2 in the front & 1 in the back) and I was surprised because the principal doesn't come to my room that often. She tells me that they are going to do a backpack search because there may be a weapon in my classroom...I was like oh heck no!...and I look at my mentor and she nods her head like just go.

So I go with her and she tells me that she pulled me out because it is very hard to see one of your students getting arrested...blahblahblah. So we were outside for like 7 minutes and then the assistant principal (who was my 7th grade teacher and high school counselor) comes outside all upset telling me that they need me to come inside because the students aren't cooperating...now my students know that I don't play when it comes to respecting adults and to hear that they weren't cooperating I was getting ready to GO OFF on them.

So I go into my classroom and it's all quiet and I see Mr. Green (he works in the office and is the bomb!!!) with a camera...i'm like "hey greenie green" but confused because why is he here with the camera? is he here to take pictures of the weapon?...i was like whatever let me set my students straight because they WERE NOT going to embarrass me!!! Mrs. Miller says "bring him in!!!"...and here comes Rickey!!! & all my students say "SURPRISE!!!" and they are holding 1 rose.

So already I am super surprised!!! then Rickey comes over to me and gives me 1 rose...i'm just cheesing away!!! So all of a sudden he says how he loves me and how he wanted to spend the rest of his life with me and THEN gets down on one knee...the look in his eyes said that he loves me soooo much...and asks me to be his wife!!! I say "YES!!" and give him the biggest hug ever!!!

So all of my students give me their rose and a hug then say "Congrats Ms. H." I felt sooo special!!! I couldn't breathe!!!

Rickey is in the front of the room with plastic champagne glasses and sparkling cider and preparing for a toast. I was soooo happy!!! I couldn't stay still and I had the biggest smile on my face!!!

He says his toast, everyone was happy...my principal, assistant principal, and mentor were crying...and that's my proposal.
