Amppax Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 (edited) CONGRATULATIONS Y'ALL!!! That's awesome! Hint: Talk to your girl's best friends. She will have told them her idea of THE PERFECT proposal. And ring, for that matter. Listen to them. I hope you get a girl who thinks the same way you do about that, but if you don't, listen to her friends anyway. Filing this away for later.

MissyP89 Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 OK. So I finally have some time to tell the tale. :) Be warned, it is disgustingly romantic and movie-like. Steer clear of this post if you're not prepared to either cry or puke. ;) I was up on Long Island for the last few days of Brian's spring break. One of his best friends from undergrad in NJ is a musician and plays gigs all over. He had a gig at one of the local pubs on Friday night, and I really love live music, so we met up with a few of Brian's friends at the pub. The day before while checking my email, I accidentally saw a message Brian had sent to one of his friends: "The big thing is going to happen at 10:00 on Friday night. We'll be at the pub by 9:30." The gears started turning in my head. I even asked ARFink if he knew anything, but he didn't. At the same time, I knew that Brian has several years of school left, and told myself he wouldn't propose so soon. So I pushed the thought out of my mind. Friday night comes, and we go to the pub to see Mikey play. 10:00 comes and goes. I figure the "big thing" was something else entirely, and order food. Around 10:30 my food arrived, and I started to dig in, when I heard my name from the mic. It was Brian. What? And Mikey started to play a song. Brian sang to me. At first, I was embarrassed — I am a bashful person and don't really like attention, especially in public — but I listened. After all, he was singing for me, and he's not one to do musical things. I listened closely. It was kinda like that song "Hey There Delilah" in style. It was a series of questions for the girl interspersed with the way she makes him feel. Sweet. There was a guitar break right before the bridge of the song, and Brian started grinning like a little kid at Christmas and started to sing the last of the lyrics: "Baby, can you answer one last question for me? Cause I've had this on my mind And I think it's time to see..." At this point, I simultaneously broke into a sweat, felt my blood run cold, and said "Oh, my God..." He grinned even more. I knew it, and he knew I knew. "I've waited all my life for my lips to finally speak..." And he started walking back to our table: "So will you, will you..." And he got down on one knee, mic in one hand, ring in the other, and the hugest smile on his face: "Marry me?" Looking back, I wish I would have waited even just a few seconds to take in that moment. But I was so happy and so surprised I answered "yes I will" almost as soon as he had it out of his mouth. The pub went nuts, we hugged like crazy, and he gave me this beautiful ring: After we calmed down a little, he asked me to turn around toward the back of the pub. Standing there were my best friend from home and her husband. They knew about the plan for weeks, and drove all the way to Long Island to be there. They hid upstairs at the pub for hours, waiting. (She doesn't know it yet, but she's going to be my matron of honor. Mikey will be Brian's best man.) Our families are thrilled — both sets of parents knew it was coming. Typing the whole thing out makes me shake my head in awe. I can't believe he actually did it, and did it like that! I am so lucky. This is the very beginning of an amazing adventure.

MissyP89 Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 It's official...our journey as one begins on May 2, 2015, at the church where we first met. <3 God is good! We take the FOCCUS (basically a compatibility survey) under the guidance of an older married couple in 3 weeks. Brian and I are very different, so we're curious to see what our results show and what we can learn from it. Please continue to pray for us. Engagement, I am learning, is a true trial by fire, but we are happy to go through it together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
