Not Engaged Yet

The Best Day Ever!!!

Hey ladies I just wanted to share with you all that he proposed tonight! :) So today started off like any other day so I woke up and went to watch the 3 year old triplets that I have recently started watching. The bf had called a couple times wanting to know what time I would be through watching them but I didn't think anything of it. So after I got off work he called me and told me that he had made dinner reservations at Vito's Cafe ( A nice Italian place where the waiters sing to you and we had celebrated once before) across the river from Cincinnati and that I needed to be ready by 4:45. This was at like 3:15 so I felt a lil rushed but had an idea that it might happen so I quickly made my way to the nail salon to get a manicure just in case...I then rushed back home to get ready for our date while trying not to get too excited. So he picked me up and we went to dinner when I got there I noticed that the owner of the restaurant seemed to be very attentive but this is fairly normal..so we enjoyed a wonderful meal and then shortly before we left Vito his self got up and dedicated a song to me which I was not that thrilled about because I don't enjoy being the center of attention. (Apparently when bf now FI called to make the reservation he had told them about the plan to propose and they were trying to set up a moment for him). We left and on the way home stopped at a park that over looks the river and city. As I was standing there looking at the view he wrapped his arms around me in a bear hug or so I thought..well this made me nervous because I was so close to the edge and asked him to step back and looked down and that was when I realized he was holding the ring...he then kneeled down and asked me...I was in total shock and my response was "have you asked my dad"..."please get up there there are ppl everywhere" and then finally "YES" ...So then we spent the whole drive home calling friends and family...I was so surprised and couldn't be happier! I will post pictures as soon as I figure out how! (Sorry if there are a lot of typos I'm to excited to really focus)

    I know my reply wasn't exactly like I had always dreamed of it as being but...if you know me it was very much something that I would say... and if he hadn't asked my dad my answer wouldn't have been yes, it would have been then more along the lines of then why the hell are you even asking me since he knew it was something that is required by me.

    Haha, I think the "have you asked my dad comment" and "get up ppl are everywhere" is a very genuine reaction.Also, the part about getting a manicure just in case made me giggle.Congratuations!

    Funny reaction, but understandable.  No matter how much you "think' its going to happen its still somehow a surprise b/c how can you be sure until its happening!?  When my FI asked me this past May my tummy did a flip & my heart was racing!  All even though I was sort of getting a feeling he might ask soon, plus we'd even went to go look at rings a month before he asked!  I had always thought I'd cry when he asked but I didn't.  However, I couldn't sit at all for like an hour after he asked, I kept jumping up & down or pacing around on the phone calling our friends & family.  I did however cry when I saw the engagement album my FI posted on facebook when I saw the picture of me with the ring on my finger after just getting engaged & under it he put "Future Mrs. Pericas" lol thats what did it for me! :-)CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU!! Happy planning!
