Steve proposed on September 20, 2008. We were going up to our almamater to Homecoming. He picked me up at my parent's house that morning and from the get go he was acting really weird. He was all nervous and trying to make awkward conversation. He even pointed out the window saying 'hey look at those birds!'. yeah- there were no birds in sight.
We finally get there and I'm anxious to go visit our old friends when he suggests that we take a walk around campus. Ok- I guess that would be fine since it is a nice day. I take out my camera (always have it with me) and start taking some nice fall shots. We head towards the scenic bridge on campus and when we get there, there are a bunch of people on it. He seems dissapointed (weird) and asks what my favorite place on campus is. Of course I'm an ass and jokingly say 'the library'. He was not amused. So we start walking around and end up back at the bridge, only this time he takes me underneathe it. Its so pretty here with the leaves and everything- plus a little more private. I tried to hold his hand as we walked down there and he refused- we wouldn't even take his hand out of his pocket! At this point I knew something was up.
Underneath the bridge he started telling me how much he loved me and that he wanted to spend the rest of his life with me. He then got down on one knew and asked me if I would marry him. I immediately started crying and shaking my head. "So yes?" he asked? I said yes and we hugged and he put the ring on my finger. We took some pictures, went and showed our friends, and got drunk. It was was probably my favorite day thus far- our cheeks hurt in the evening because we were smiling so much!
love Love LOVE!!! my ring!!!!
And they are living happily ever after...
