I’m engaged!

Brian proposed on Saturday, December 18th, 2010. It was an amazingly simple and uncomplicated proposal. It was everything I would have imagined it to be.

He told me a week in advance that we were going to do a “pre-Christmas” event before we head off to Las Vegas to see our families. I didn’t think anything of it.

For our first event, we went to the ice skating rink. Mind you – the entire week and weekend we had a massive snow and rain storm. Sadly, it was way too cold and miserable to ice skate. Instead, we went to the local coffee shop and had hot chocolate with mini marshmallows. After that, we drove around looking at Christmas lights.

For dinner, we went to Adele’s – the classiest joint in Carson. We ate a delicious dinner. Brian then proceeded to ask me if I wanted to go see a movie and I said yes, but we had to go drop off our leftovers first.

When I got to our front door, there was a red rose laying on the ground. I was a bit surprised but didn’t think anything of it. When I opened the door, there were roses leading up to our kitchen table and I was like…”ooo roses! Thanks.” I was totally oblivious.

On the kitchen table there was a gift box and a small sign that read “Open me!” I tore open the box and there was another box inside. I couldn’t seem to get it open and Brian took it from me, opened it with ease, and inside of it there was a ring box. It didn’t hit me that he was proposing until he got on his knee and when he did, I was completely shocked. He said:

Megan, since the first day I met you, I knew you were the one for me. You are perfect in every way. Will you marry me?

I was at a loss for words. I stuttered out a “YE….YE…” and then it finally came out…”OF COURSE!” He was still on his knee so the only thing I thought to do was to tackle him. After tons of kisses and tears, he popped open a bottle of champagne, and of course, we finished it off soon after.

The proposal was absolutely amazing. We were in the comfort of our own home and each other’s arms.
