The Proposal

Brandon and i were dating for about 9 months before the initial engagement. December 13th 2007. i remember looking for rings and talking about marraige.and i actually knew the night he asked my parents if he could ask for my hand in marraige. we were about to go to a show on the strip, which we got tickets to through donating blood to UBS. which we did often... mostly just for the free stuff. we got tickets to the Producers. so when he came to pick me up i was finishing up getting ready when he pulled my parents into the other room. when they were done he took me to get Crepes at the Paris hotel., which were delicious. we then went to the show which was terrible, so bad in how scandalous and such a terrible plot that we ended up walking out. so as we are leaving brandon asks if i want to go to the top of the tower, of course i did. We could see the whole strip and the best was to see the Bellagio fountains from the top. i was so could that i turned and said lets head down before the fountains had even finished. he was like wait.. lets watch the end, and i went with it. Next thing i know he is on one knee with the ring in his hands asking me to marry him. i was so excited and started to tear up. i couldn't believe it was already happening. and the fact that he already got the ring amazed me. it was just the one i wanted. the people up there clapped and congradulated us. A lady even took picture of us and said she would email them but sadly we never recieved them. i told everyone in the elevator on the way down. i was smiling from ear to ear. I was honestly so surprised i knew it was coming but we wre still looking at different rings and really he had just asked my father.. i thought he would get the okay before he went out and bought the ring. We went back to my parents and told them the good news, which they already knew. Then i just sent out a mass text in the morning and announced it to my cosmetology class first thing. I can remember starring at my ring all night and in the car with my hand on the wheel. i just couldn't believe it. i was about to be married to the man of my dreams.
