I started dropping hints in early May of 2021 that I wanted to get married. For my birthday Nick asked me what I wanted, so I told him I wanted to go look at engagement rings.. so that is what we did! I tried so many rings on in that store, and surprisingly came across a ring totally opposite of what I thought I wanted. I knew that was the one and I prayed Nick would get that ring for me. I would have loved any ring he got for me, but we just really loved that specific ring. Anxiously waiting for the proposal, my dad accidentally spilled the beans that Nick was asking for my hand in marriage. My dad called me one night and asked me if we were going to dinner on Thursday night, but I did not get the invite to that dinner. My dad was so confused that nick did not tell me about going to dinner, and then it hit me. I knew that Nick was going to ask my dad that night if he could marry me. I was so extremely happy, and eventually ended up telling Nick I knew he asked my dad. If you know anything about Nick and I, we cannot keep anything from each other!

Fast forward a couple weeks, I had no idea when it was coming. I thought he was going to wait til our 2 year anniversary of dating to ask me, which is in October 2021. I am the most impatient person in the world, so the anticipation was killing me. On a Saturday night, Nick went to go play frisbee golf with his brother and I was watching his dog Lou until he was finished playing. He came and picked up Lou that night and I was tired, in my pajamas, and watching Love Island on the couch. I turned around to sit down to finish the show and Nick was ruffling his pocket. He pulled out the ring and I kept saying STOP, STOP, STOP. We don't even remember exactly what he said because we both had so much adrenaline. At this point I was crying and he was wondering if he should have asked me LOL! But, of course I said YES! I just had to get the initial shock and tears out of my eyes.

I love our cute, little, intimate story.

Here's to FOREVER!
