First off, I would like to say, AWESOME POST, Loz Second of all, I would like to pat Bill on the back for being a Stand Up Guy I've know some men to run away after hearing words like that... This is my story:
We were best friends for months... we worked together and that is how we met. He would stay after his shift to work with me (with no overtime $) and we'd spend hours afterwards just talking on the phone or in person. We were inseparable. We both liked each other from the first day we met...
He asked me out... and on our
very first date ...
It was a cold winter night- just before Christmas. He took me to a community club with an ice rink. When I saw on the door to the club that it was "Closed for a Private Function" I was a little sad... I hadn't gone ice skating in years & what a fun first date! But when he took out a key to the door and opened it up, I sat there shocked. He lead me through the dimly lit club and out the french doors and onto the ice rink...
There was a fire pit burning in the middle of the ice and about 7 dozen long stemmed
roses scattered everywhere on the ice. In between all the
roses, tiny little candles were lit! It was the most beautiful, most romantic thing I've ever seen! When he lead me onto a red carpet that was rolled out onto the ice and leading to the fire, I choked back tears of happiness! He took me right up to the fire and in the glow, he got down on one knee and took out a tiny box from his jacket pocket!
A few weeks earlier him and I were going shopping and jokingly we picked our wedding rings and my dream engagement ring...
My dream engagement ring was the one in the box! I started crying right away- I was SOOO HAPPY! He told me I was his best friend and he didn't want to spend a day without me by his side...
This was December 21st, 2004...
We've been married for just over a year now, and he still pulls romantic nights like that out of nowhere... we're both hopeless romantics and it truly was a fairy tale proposal.... and year!
