As our relationship grew, we had always talked about our future, marriage and kids. One day we were at the mall and decided to walk into one of the jewelry stores to look at rings so I could get a good idea of what style Brooke liked. Well, as it always happens, Brooke tried on a ring that made her light up. This ring fit perfectly on her, and she could not stop staring at it. So of course I got it.

Now she knew I bought the ring, but had no idea when or where I would Propose. My parents had planned a trip to Hawaii one summer, and invited her to go along. So of course I thought what better place to Propose. The only down side was, I could not ask her. Throughout the entire week, I carried the ring on me, no matter where we went, and just could not get down on that one knee, because, "the timing wasn't right." I am a perfectionist, and I have to make sure everything is the way it needs to be. The entire week flew by, and it was the last day, and my entire family was on edge waiting for me to do it.

On this last day, I decided that I can't wait for the perfect time, and I would have to make the timing perfect myself. Brooke and I went on a nice walk on the beach that evening, under the starlight, and as we were walking, I dropped down and Proposed. I am pretty sure none of the words I said were very clear because I was so nervous, but she also seemed to not be able to hold in the yes long enough!
