If you know James, you’re probably aware of how smooth he isn’t. James had made it clear he had the ring. I would make jokes about knowing where he hid it.

I had mentioned to James I would be off of work on March 9th. I pointed to my left hand to make sure he got the point. He nodded then we dropped the subject. March 9th comes around and we head to one of our favorite restaurants. After we were finished, he asked if I wanted to head home to grab Lola to go on a walk. Of course I said yes, and we headed home.

We started walking around the park with Lola. It was a busy Saturday afternoon. I had no idea if he would find the courage to ask me in front of all the random strangers. We found somewhere that was not too crowded. He turned towards me.

"Last night, I took Lola on a walk while you were at work. I asked her something very important." James began.

"Did you ask her if she wanted some cheese?" I asked.

"Haha. No. I asked her if she would okay with becoming one family. I have something in my pocket I really want to give you." With that James got down on one knee and proposed. "Will you marry me?" James asked. "Of course, I will." James being James he asked me if I was sure.

And here we are :)
