An Engagement Story

How He Proposed:


It was the weekend before Valentine's Day. We had a trip to Mendocino planned to celebrate V-day the weekend after. I knew a proposal was coming. We had talked about it, shopped for the ring, etc. I honestly figured it would be the next weekend, but as you will learn I was wrong.


At work Aaron, the FI told me I he had a surprise for me that night and to make sure to get most of my work doen because I would be tired on Friday and not feel like doing it.


He picked me up from work and our dog was in the car. I think to myself why is the dog in the car if we're going out. I get in the car and he tells me that we're going out of town the next morning, but he won't tell me where. The dog was with us to be dropped off for boarding. I try and try to get it out of him all night, but he won't budge. I honestly figured we were going to Vegas or New York. Oh how sweet of him to plan a surprise trip. He had coordinated with my office to get me both Friday & Monday off of work.


The next morning we wake up and get ready to go. The cab shows up early and Aaron goes downstairs to start loading the bags. I come trailing down the stairs with my carry on in hand ready to go.


To my astonishment there is no cab, but a limo. WTF I think. Before I knew it Aaron is down on one knee purposing. I don't even remember what he said, but I do remember saying yes. My special surprise trip was a trip to Paris for 4 days to celebrate our engagement.


I was on cloud nine the entire weekend and what better place to be. I couldn't have asked for a more amazing weekend with a more amazing man.
I hope my wedding will be as magical is our engagement!
