If your name is David you may NOT look any further! There are pictures of the dress in here & if you ruin it I may have to hurt you!! =] Loves you!
*Note: Name changed so it's harder for people to search & I borrowed Amber's idea..
Hii! So I'm relatively new to the boards & I've been so engrossed in reading everyone else's PJ that I haven't been able to create my own! Woops! Well my fiancée is running late so I figured now is better than ever to get it started!
Here's the beginning of it all..
It's kinda funny as to how we met.. It all started back on good ol MySpace! We can't remember exactly who added who, but all we know is that is where it all started. We began to chat on there and then slowly graduated to AIM conversations almost everyday. He wanted to meet up but I wasn't exactly ready to meet some stranger off the internet face to face? Then a little while later he began to date someone and did for about four years. During that four years we would loose touch on and off but always somehow found our way back to each other? Dave ALWAYS wanted to meet up with me, even though he had a girlfriend and always told me that it was completely harmless, but I had my guard up (for good reasons!) and wouldn't budge. At one point I just didn't get this kid! I would always tell my mom about him and be like god he won't leave me alone, what the hell do I have to do for this kid to get the damned point!
We always talked to each other about relationship issues and such, so we pretty much knew everything about each other. I always remember him trying to call me but I would NEVER answer the phone! I used the excuse of 'I don't like my voice', when in reality I saw no point in talking to him other than texting because I have no intentions of meeting up with him because he had a girlfriend. His girlfriend and him were always on and off and when they were off he always found me and tried to hang out. I refused. I knew it was a matter of time and then they would get back together, which always happened.
I finally was just like listen, I'll be in your area, let's meet up at Starbucks for some coffee on such date and get this over with. Well, he responded with well I don't want to do it in my town because I don't want anyone to see us together. So my first thought was umm okay shady mcshaderson, seeee you later! And that was that. I hadn't talked to him for quite some time after that.
Out of the clear blue in May 2010 I get a message from Dave saying that his girlfriend and him finally had broken up and it was a mutual breakup and how he wanted to take me out to dinner. Well he couldn't have timed it worse! I had just gotten out of a 'relationship' and had sworn off the male species after being d*cked over for the last time. I had had it. So I get this email and my first thoughts were 'are you kidding me?' I told him to text me later on during the week and maybe we'll set something up.
A few days later I had him meet me at my house because I was outside washing my cars. I had my mom outside with me so what was the worse that could happen? My mom couldn't believe I was meeting him looking the way I did! Leggings, bright yellow tshirt, hair all a mess, no makeup. Yep. The epitome of sexy! ha. I had no intentions of being anything more than friends with him and after all if he doesn't like me at my worst, well then who needs em!
After that day I still was a little unsure of him.. we hung out with a bunch of my friends a day or so later and I was still iffy. That weekend following I went down to his house and we spent some time with each other, with nobody else around, and from that day forward we have been inseparable ever since!
The engagement came about in November.. November 4, 2010 to be exact! ;D Day of the dead too! Go figure? haha. I thought it was kinda interesting.. we both love Mexican culture & it's all about reincarnation right? So we are starting anew in a way?? But here's the story..
My proposal was definitely one that I will never forget and I don't think he will either! He didn't even know that he was going to propose to me that day!
I had just gotten off of the phone with my doctor and had gotten somewhat of bad news, needing a few more tests and such. I was with my boyfriend, Dave, and immediately turned to him to tell him the news as tears began to form in my eyes. Dave comforted me and, of course, told me that everything was going to be okay. I finally get rid of my tears and he tells me to close my eyes he has a surprise for me! I was like no way, not closing them you have to be kidding me right?? He's like just close them and don't peek!! So, I reluctantly shut my eyes and put my hands over my eyes, I peeked a few times but couldn't see anything going on! He was too far over in his room. A minute or so later he's back in front of me and tells me how we've known each other 5 years and these past 6 months have been the most amazing months of his life and he never wants to loose me. Next thing I know I open my eyes, he's on one knee, and has a blue box in his hand! I almost died! Just talking about it now I'm getting all choked up!! I was like are you kidding me?! Right now you're doing this?! haha. Then he says the.. will you marry me? And I of course answered yes! Tears, hugs, and kisses all around after he placed the ring on my finger! And a few minutes later, he's like ummm are you even going to look at the ring?! I totally forgot to look at it! I didn't care what it looked like! I finally had the man of my dreams fooorever!!!
PS. The stupid nurse who called me actually told me the results in the worst way possible. & all is clear! No worries, so I told him he proposed for nothing! ha. He asked for the ring back but I told him no way, unless he wanted to repropose in Disney. ;D
