When (and how) did you meet your FI?
How long have you two crazy kids been dating?
When did he propose and how long (or short)! of an engagement did you have?
How did he ask?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
My FI and I met at the start of August, 2010 through a mutual friend whom I asked for advice on my Jeep which was giving me issues and then he told me to talk to Greg and handed the phone over. We had our first date on August 8th, 2010 (and our first kiss!
) which he was suppppposedddd to look at my car but the car stopped making the buzzing noise it had been making and instead we ended up going for a couple walks and just talking. We became official on August 17th 2010. I introduced him to my daughter on August 22nd, 2010.
Greg proposed to me up at his parent's cabin on the lake on August 17th, 2011 (our one year anniversary). He'd been waiting ALL day for the perfect moment to propose and he wanted to do it on that date since it holds such special meaning to me. So at 11:30pm after not getting a single moment alone with me he came into my room while I was sitting on the bed feeling sad that he didn't ask (We'd shopped for rings together and I knew he would ask soon), he kneeled down beside me and told me that he loved me and didn't want me to think that I didn't deserve this. Then he pulled out the ring and then said "What do ya say?" SO i had to give him a little bit of a hard time and said "Well you didn't ask me a question but YES!!!" we kissed and he gave me the ring.
It was really cute and I liked that it was a quiet moment just between us two
The next day we took a long boat ride down a river and just spent some quality time together, it was awesome
About the date: August 17th 1946 is the day that my grandparents got married. They met while they were stationed in Paris during WWII and they both have been gone for several years now. Greg happened to ask me to be his g/f on what would have been their 64th wedding anniversary and then proposed on their 65th. Now we're getting married on their 66th anniversary (which gave us exactly 1 year between dating, getting engaged and getting married hehe). Our theme is parisian in their honor (and because we both studied French and love the country
).
