How we got engaged
HE SURPRISED ME.

I DID NOT KNOW IT WAS COMING. I WAS TOLD TO GET DOLLED UP SO WE CAN GO ON A DATE. HE CAME AND PICKED ME UP. CAR WAS CLEANED, SMELLED GOOD (MY NOSE WAS BURNT, DUE TO THE EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF COLOGNE) BUT THAT WAS OK, I KNEW THE INTENTION. (LOL)

WE WERE CRUSING ON A HIGH THAT NIGHT, SMELLING GOOD, I WAS LOOKING HOW I WAS LOOKING, AND HE WAS LOOKING HOW HE WAS LOOKING, EVERYTHING WAS RUNNING SOOOOOO SMOOTH.

WE GOT TO RUTH CHRIS'S STEAKHOUSE AND DROVE UP TO VALET. STAR QUALITY TREATMENT...HE CAME AROUND AND MET ME AND WALKED IN THE RESTURANT HAND IN HAND AND STATED TO THE HOSTESS...."RESERVATIONS AT 9, TO DINE, WITH THIS LADY THAT IS SO FINE"....I BLUSHED...AND WE WALKED INTO THE MAIN DINING AREA.

IT SEEMED TO ME THAT HE WAS SWEATING A BIT TOO MUCH THROUGHOUT THE NIGHT, BUT I JUST FIGURED THAT THE VENT IN THE RESTURANT WAS NOT GETTING TO HIS SIDE OF THE TABLE. WE ORDERED OUR FOOD, IN WHICH WAS REALLY GOOD. WE EVEN ORDERED A BOTTLE OF CHAMPAGNE. HE ROSE UP HIS GLASS AND SAID"LETS TOAST", I SAID "TO WHAT", HE SAID "TO US, TO OUR ENDURING, UNCONDITIONAL LOVE". WE TOAST AND THAN HE SAID I HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY... I WAS LIKE OK...SAY IT. I STOPPED HIM BECAUSE I HAD TO USE THE RESTROOM, SO YOU COULD ONLY IMAGINE HOW THIS MADE HIM EVEN MORE NERVOUS. I CAME BACK HE WAS SWEATING BULLETS, I HANDED HIM A NAPKIN AND SAID BABE, ARE YOU OK, IT WAS 50 DEGREES OUTSIDE...

THAN HIS PHONE FELL ON THE FLOOR ATLEAST THATS WHAT I THOUGHT, I LEANED OVER TO GET IT AND BELIEVE IT OR NOT HE WAS ON ONE KNEE....I WAS SO CONFUSED, I WAS LIKE "WHAAAATTT" "YOU SURE", "CUZ I AM CRAZY"...HE WAS JUST SMILING I WAS CRYING AND HE ASKED ME...WOULD YOU MARRY ME, CHERI? I WAS BEYOND THRILLED, EXCITED, NERVOUS AND SUPRISED. HE ASKED ME AND I SAID YES...WHAT A FEELING...I WOULD DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN IF I HAD TOO.
