On September 12th 2014 Michael proposed to me.
He called me earlier that morning and asked me if my dad was home, which I thought was odd that he wouldn't just wait for me to get work so we could go up to my parents house together.
When I got off work that evening I had plans to go to Michaels apartment and get ready, and then the two of us would be going to a bonfire some of our Singles Ward Friends had planned at Docs Beach.
He picked me up and he was acting weirder than usual. Very fidgety and distracted, so I had a feeling something was up. He took me to his apartment and I went into the bathroom to do my hair and brush my teeth so we could go.
When I came out of the bathroom he was standing in the living room, he hugged me and kissed me. And he was shaking. He asked me if I loved him, and I said "Of course!" Then he handed me the open ring box and asked me "Will You love me forever?" To which I also replied "OF COURSE!"
♡ It was the sweetest moment of my life!
It wasn't too much of a surprise because we had talked about getting married before.
And all day Mike was acting really weird and nervous. So I had a feeling, especially when he asked if my Dad was home.
He said my parents thought it was a little soon to be getting engaged but Michael insisted we were meant for each other and they agreed. My dad jokingly said "Well.... tell her she has to clean her room first!" And Michael said "Ill clean it for her!"
So we went to the bonfire and sent a picture announcement out to our families.
Wesley came with, because he always tagged along in our adventures.
When I we had talked about getting married before I told Michael, I don't care about the diamond or really much specifically about the ring, but please do NOT buy me a gold one! I want silver because I hate gold. So he picked out my ring and I think he did a really good job.
I know some girls are specific and want to pick out their own, but I wanted it to be special from him.
I adore it! I love how the white gold looks and the marquise diamond in the center is stunning. But my favorite part of the ring was the the wedding band!
Michael had a large coffee and donut on our way to the bonfire, and he started no feeling well while we were there, so we left early. On the way home he stopped and threw up in front of the dentist office. I felt so bad! When we got back to his place I told him I was going to go and let him get some rest. Then I drove 15 minutes to my parents house, thinking the whole way that he was nervous and unsure about his decision to propose and had made himself sick over that. So I thought it might be best to give him back the ring and tell him to try again in a few weeks if he still felt good about the decision. As I was about to turn onto my road he called me and said he was feeling much better and insisted I come back. So I turned around and drove 15 minutes back to his place.
When I got back we snuggled and watched movies with his roommates while he feel asleep. I could tell he didn't feel much better, but he didn't want our night to end that way and wanted to celebrate. Even if "celebrating" was just cuddling until he felt better.
