The Story of Rachel & Ralph

On February 1, 2018, Ralph took me to The Chart House to celebrate two wonderful years together. We sat at a table by the window with a beautiful view of the city. We had our favorite red wine and a delicious dinner. After our dinner, we grabbed our jackets and made our way to the front of the restaurant. The manager walked up to us before we were getting ready to leave and asked how our dinner was and if we enjoyed ourselves. I told the manager that we had a great time and truly enjoyed our night. Ralph then asked, "Do you have any rooms for parties like weddings or other events here?" The manager then replied, "Oh yes we do, they are located on the second floor, would you like to see them?" And of course Ralph replied, "Yes that would be awesome!" I stood there, confused by it all and just went along with it. We then walked up the stairs to the first room which serves as a cocktail party room with a balcony. As we looked through the room, the manager tapped my shoulder and said, "There is another room I would like you to see. It's for a larger party and it has a beautiful view of the city." We then walked down the hall to the second room. Before the manager opened the door, he turned to me and said, "Now this room is a very special room." The doors opened and all I saw was a table with pictures of Ralph and I covered with rose petals and candles. Obviously, I cried immediately. I turned to Ralph and said, "Are you kidding me?" Ralph walked me over to the table and asked, "Would you like to time travel with me down memory lane?" I then said, "Yes of course I would." Ralph took my hand and began to tell the story of each picture on the table. There were ten frames on the table with pictures of the following events: our first conversation, our first date, our first valentine's day (when I embraced his obsession with Star Wars), the first time we fell in love, my graduation ceremony for my Masters Degree, our first vacation, our first halloween, our first concert, our first disney trip, and an empty frame. When we got to the final frame, Ralph looked at me and said, "Now this frame is for a moment we haven't created yet." Ralph grabbed the rose at the end of the table, looked at me and asked, "Rachel, will you accept this rose?" I looked at him while laughing and crying and said, "Of course I will." But then, Ralph took me by surprise and said, "Well, there's one more thing." He grabbed my left hand and said, "Rachel..." He immediately began to cry and so did I. This was the moment we have waited for and dreamed of for so long. It was at that moment when I knew that he was going to ask me those four special words. I grabbed his hands and said, "It's okay babe, don't cry you're okay." He got down on his knee and said, "You're the love of my life and I want to spend the rest of my life with you. Will you marry me?" I immediately replied, "Yes yes yes! Of course I will.” Ralph, you are the love of my life, my best friend, my soulmate, my happily ever after, my dream come true, my wish upon a star, my Aladdin, my whole world and more. I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with you. I love you always and forever.
