"Baby are you having a heart attack?" I asked, startled as I felt Erick's heart pounding hard and fast as I held him in an embrace on our fifth year anniversary.

He gently pushed me away from him and knelt down, mumbling to himself, "I got to get down."

Bewildered and even more worried I crouched down beside him while thinking to myself, is he dying? Should I be dialling 911? Suddenly my musing was interrupted when Erick pulled out a small green box from his pocket and presented it to me.

Sitting in the box was a beautiful sparkling diamond ring.

No, he was not having a heart attack.

No, he was not dying.

No, emergency services were not required.

He had proposed to me in our living room while we were both in our PJs. He had tears in his eyes while he asked if I would marry him. I laughed with relief that he was not dying and said yes (as he grumbled that I needed to stop laughing at him).

That was us. We were two silly, fun, and down to earth people. We found each other even though we were born on opposite sides of the planet and we invite you to join us on our big day to unite us as a couple forever.
