The engagement

Jonathan was sure lucky that I wasn’t fully on my game Saturday! For the past two weeks until Saturday morning, there had been so much planning and secrets behind my back it blows my mind. If it weren’t for pain pills, I would have picked up on every little thing that was going on. My best friend wouldn’t even talk to me that much because she thought she would spill the beans. I can honestly say that I was totally suprised, even up to the second me proposed. Here is how it went down: On our first date we went to Cafe Brazil for coffee, so Saturday morning we went there for breakfast and then we were going to go to the White Rock Lake to watch the sailboats or just people watch. So we pulled up and went over to this bench at Winfrey’s Point which overlooks the lake and you can see the Dallas skyline. On the bench were red roses and a card with a letter in it. Even up to this point I thought “well maybe he’s just giving me flowers so say ‘I’m glad you are feeling better’ or just because.” We sat down and I read the letter and then he got down on his knee and asked me to marry him. I was completely shocked! During this whole time my best friend, Jennifer (soon the be maid of honor) and his best friend, Matt (soon to be best man) and another friend of mine, Aaron were all hiding behind a house that was by us taking pictures and recording the whole thing. They said that right before we got there, a big group of people (which they think was a wedding rehersal) was there with a big tent and people were sitting on the bench that we were supposed to go to. So Matt went up to them and asked, “Are ya’ll almost done?” “Here’s the deal, my friend is about to propose in this spot in about 2 minutes so ya’ll have to leave.” They asked if they could stay and cheer for us. That part made the whole story hilarious! Overall, it was a GREAT day and I couldn’t have imagined it differently.
