Ok, this is from like 4yrs ago, but STILL! His proposal was PERFECT! I had NO clue & he was a true beau!
It was my birthday & I was pregnant with our son, Diego, You'll meet him later ;) .. I was Soo sick with that pregnancy.. oh man... But that's not important!
Brian took me to this amazingly expensive, super classy restaurant & let me tell you, I was Flattered, but very uncomfortable! (totally insecure, of course, that everyone was there was staring at me! knowing I was just a poor girl from South Dakota LOL)
After we were seated, Brian had to go out to the car.. he "forgot something." When he came in, I could have DIED when I saw what he "forgot'!! It was a shoebox inside a PLASTIC GROCERY SACK! It was .. my birthday present. I was Mortified!! I couldnt believe that he didnt even put it in a gift bag! And forget that, he bought me SHOES! I HATE SHOES!!! I was so embarassed & at the same time, sad, because I just knew I would hate his gift ..
The hostess was very... Friendly.. She kept coming over to our table & talking to us. Asking us questions, telling us stories, blah blah blah! I was just like "I DONT CARE! WHAT IS YOUR DEAL?!" (Of course, I didnt say that.) I just smiled & humored her overbearing friendliness.
We ordered our meals & enjoyed our evening together.. Or TRIED TO! The hostess kept coming & Coming & COMING. and with each trip she made to our table, I became more & more annoyed.
There was even a point where she was carrying a tray of ice waters & I joked about sticking out my foot & tripping her! hahaha
SO, we ate. then, here comes Minervas social butterfly.. (Minervas was the name of the restaurant) I was like, YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!! Leave us alone!! :P
She had a newspaper in her hand & came up, all like she knew us, leaned up against my booth & said "I was reading this article & I thought of you guys"
Me--> "REALLY?! YOU DONT EVEN KNOW US!" *rolls eyes with a heavy sigh*
To avoid being rude, which was something SHE clearly had no problem being, I accepted the paper & began to read the article that she had disgustingly doodled a pink heart around..This is what it read:
"ROSES are Red,
Violets are Blue,
Our Relationships at
Times is hard, but My
Love for You is True
SARAH JANE
I would Love to Spend
Eternity With You!
Will You Marry Me?"
It wasn't until I got to the part that says "SARAH JANE", that I thought, "WHAT?!" Then I realized that this was written for ME!
I looked up to Brian, but he wasn't in his seat. My eyes darted to the space beside my own seat, and there he was! Down on one knee.. I couldn't believe my eyes OR ears!! When those 4 little words, "Will you marry me?" spilled from his mouth, I couldn't help but say "YES!!!"
As I embraced my [[FIANCE!!]] I was surprised to hear the ENTIRE RESTAURANT break into an explosive round of applause! Everyone was watching the whole thing as I was there, completely oblivious to what was about to happen! :D Wow.. I don't think about that very often anymore, but it was so perfect & still, to this day, brings an overwhelming amount of joy to my heart! I love my Husband!!
P.S. The shoebox was empty ;)
