After knowing each other for almost 5 years, dating for 3 years Marshall finally convinced me to get married, ha! Funny the first thing one of my best friends said was... "I can't believe you are getting married, you were always the one who said she wasn't getting married." (Oops) What it comes down to is that, I met this amazing guy who makes me feel good just being me, and spending the rest of my life with him sounds good.
Our schedules have been not meeting up at all for the last few weeks, so a couple of days ago Marshall was excited to see that we were both going to be off last night at 5 and asked me if I wanted to go out to dinner at our favorite place, The Italian Kitchen. I of course said yes! So He had work at 11 and I didn't have to go in till 1, so after he left I got all dolled up and ready for the night, because I thought we were leaving right when we got off of work. Rushed home and found no Marshall... Called Sara to complain, go figure, she was in on all of it! We sat on the phone while I painted my toes, and I got off to find Marshall. (She was totally stalling me)
Finally Marshall made it home, little did I know he had been running around setting things up! He tells me that we aren't eating till 7:30. So I pace around because I am hungry, and don't understand why we can't just head down now that he is home. Finally, we head downtown... Walk in and I wonder why all the staff is
smiling at me. They walk us into this lovely little private room, it has a bunch of candles lit, and Marshall had picked up some lovely flowers for me, and a box of yummy chocolates, and has a bottle of wine chilling at the table! We order, eat, chat, sit and let the food settle, finish off our wine... order dessert, start eating that. A very cute and nervous Marshall asks me to put my spoon down, walks over to my side of the table and gets down on one knee and says something (I was too excited and already crying) so I can't remember what it is he said. Something about being his wife, and spending the rest of our lives together, I think. I said yes, of course!
So anyway, just a few photos from when we got home from dinner. I am usually the one to bring the camera, but didn't. So we didn't get to take any pictures at the restaurant. It was very pretty there also!
We (I) will try to keep everyone up to date about what is going on with all the planning here... It is all very exciting!
