THE PROPOSAL!!!

Saturday, August 2, 2008
OH MY GOSH!!!!

It's official, we're engaged.

As we were getting ready to head out, Al called me over to the computer to check out a new website that Lisa had sent to him for me to see.
http://www.bridaliciouswishes.com/

When I pulled up the website, it was a bridal website. I remarked on the name of the website and how it sounded like our nicknames. Al told me to click on the bridesmaid dresses and then pick one that I liked. When I clicked on a picture a video came up. I was a little confused, but hit play. All of a sudden our song "Chasing Cars" by Snow Patrol started playing and Al's face came up on the screen. As he began to speak, I looked over at him and he sat down on the couch next to me and said, it's a birthday thing. When he started off with "when I saw your profile on Match.com....," it suddenly dawned on me what was happening and I immediately began to to do the ugly cry. I was so emotional. As I listened to the wonderful things Al was saying, I began to shake and all I remember was covering my mouth with my hand and smiling through my tears. All of a sudden, I heard the question that I had been waiting forever to hear. I turned to look at Al and he was kneeling next to me holding a box with THE most AMAZING ring, I had ever seen! It was so much more beautiful (and sparkly) in person than I could have ever imagined. Al asked me again "will you marry me?" and I cried/laughed my way through a yes. He put the ring on my finger and I kissed him as I pulled him up to his feet and gave him the biggest hug ever. I kept laughing and crying as I admired me beautiful ring. I couldn't take my eyes off of it. I don't think I've ever been so happy in my entire life!!!!
