our engagement story

In my opinion, there are two ways to tell the story; there is the
boys’ version and the GIRLS’ version. So, let me spare the guys some
details and ‘girly stuff’ for those of you who want the full detailed version
keep on reading!

Boys Version: He got down on one knee, I said yes.
GIRLS VERSION: For those of you who don’t know it’s my mom’s side
parents it’s their 50th wedding anniversy tomorrow. So, my mom’s four siblings
their spouses and kids met at Brookside park tonight to have a family
gathering. Well, about five minutes after we started to eat two girls approached
our group with two bundles of flowers each one dozen of roses. They asked
for my grandma and asked her to read the card out loud. It was a poem Ryan had
wrote them for their 50th wedding anniversy. Then, after my grandma finished
reading it everyone clapped. As I was clapping the other girl came around to
where I was and handed me the other dozen of roses and asked me to read the
card out loud too. I opened it up and it said ‘Will you marry me?’ I was barely
able to get out the words because I was crying very happy tears. When I looked
over at Ryan he was there on one knee and I said YES! He nervously started
putting the ring on my right finger, and then put the ring on my left finger while
his hands were trembling. It was amazing that I was able to celebrate this
once in a lifetime occasion with my family! After all the hugs were give my
Riley came up and asked to see the ring and left. It was so cute. My mom and aunts were
all crying. It is something I will NEVER forget!
