The Proposal
I had no idea M was going to proposal. Sure, I mean I knew it was going to come eventually but I thought it wasn't going to happen while I was still in school. M early on said he wasn't going to propose until after I graduated. It was a long running joke between M and I that he was going to propose on April 1st.
I couldn't stop talking about M proposing. We would often joke about it. Once I couldn't make it to M's softball game and we joked he was going to lose his deposit on the helicopter and fireworks for his big proposal. The truth was every time we went out or did something romantic, I thought in the back of my head maybe M IS GOING TO PROPOSE! I had even given M a set of black out dates that he couldn't propose on. He couldn't propose on Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, New Years Eve, New Years Day, our anniversary, Valentine's Day or my Birthday. Then Friday night before M proposed I mentioned sorority events were also on the black out list.
I didn't know it but M purchased my engagement ring on November 30, 2009. That night while I was at school, M stopped by my house and asked my parent's permission if he could propose. They said yes and he showed them the ring.
Decemeber 5, 2009 was the day M proposed. Our plans were to head up to Celina to go to a friend's birthday, go out to the dinner in Frisco and then ice skating at Stone Briar Mall for the sorority date party. We actually ended up falling asleep and waking up late. We missed my friend's party and decided to head straight up to Frisco. We ended up getting there about an hour early and headed to Hobby Lobby to waste some time. I bought some wrapping paper! M helped me pick it out :) We finally headed over to La Hacinda Ranch House for dinner. Everyone was there! After dinner we headed to Stone Briar Mall and went into Barnes and Nobles. I got a cupcake and hot chocolate. We had a hour to kill before the ice reservation. M and I decided to walk about the mall since it was 11 P.M. everything was closed and it was nice to just window shop. I joked with M that we were going to pick out my engagement ring. . We headed over to "Santa's Workshop" and took pictures. I was having a enjoying myself being with M and my sorority sisters. Everyone went back near the ice and M and I continued to walk around until we found a bench.
We sat down and like always we started talking about engagements stuff. I got a little down and asked M if he even knew what kind of engagement ring I wanted. He smiled and named off everything I wanted. I said well it better be atleast 7 carats. M's reaction was "OH REALLY!" and he questioned "What if it isn't ?'. I just smiled and said M I don't care what how big the diamond is or really any of this. I started kissing M. M started talking and said," C, I have something for you!" I just ignored it and kept on kissing him. He said it again until the finally the third time I stopped and yelled at him. I was thinking why is M ruining this moment! I opened my eyes and there was M with this big smile holding the ring. I just sat there in shock. M kept telling me breath. The first thing I asked him was if he had asked my parents. He said yes. Then he got on one knee and said "C, Will you marry me?" I said Yeah... Again, I was completely shocked that this was all happening.
