A casual walk to the park from my parents house is how it all began. Ignoring the guy in the field with no shirt on, I casually went about my business until Jon asked me to play frisbee with him. With my girlish giggle I agreed, even though I really wasn't good at it. We talked for hours and decided to walk back to my parents house together. We sat and talked some more and got to know eachother better, luckily to find out he only lived a town away. Immediately we both were completely comfortable with eachother and were inseperable from that day forward. That is how we met. How we got engaged was a different story. Christmas 2010 Jonathan and I open presents at his parents house in the early morning. His mom, dad, sister and pop are all accounted for. The room was filled with presents, we weren't sure where we were going to sit! We start passing gifts to each other, the tears of joy come when "special" gifts are open and everyone shares a few laughs. The presents are all opened, now it's time to thank the fmaily for everything they have done for Jonathan and I. He stops me in mid speech and tells me that there is one more gift. He kneels on the floor next to the couch that I was sitting on and reaches underneath for a box. He gives a speech saying that he wanted to do this in front of all his family so they could all welcome me to be a part of it! "Will you marry me?" His dad pulls out the camera and catches every moment of it, while mom and Maggie start the tears of joy. Amidst my tears I say yes and seal it with a kiss. |
