Wedding Bells are Ringing!

Last night. November 8,2009 was by far the best day of my life to date. The day itself was beautiful. Every time I stepped out of the house the sky looked like a masterpiece and the weather was perfect. The morning started off a little rocky, but after church and a decent sermon I felt completely refreshed and ready to go. I had no patience as I waited for 3 hours to pass in order to be able to leave to go see the Trans-Siberian Orchestra. Once we were on the road I was completely pumped. We first stopped by Olive Garden for dinner. It was of course delicious. Then we were off to see the concert. I could not even hold in my excitement. I had never been to a concert let alone one of this magnitude. As we sat there waiting for the show to start my anticipation kept growing. I then joked to Steven "you should have asked me to marry you tonight because I think this is the best date of my life". We laughed about it and then the show started. It was absolutely amazing. It nearly moved me to tears a couple of times. The performers are just that spectacular and the lighting adds so much to the show. After the show was over I was on cloud nine already and had written it off as the best night of my life thus far. When we got out of the building and on the sidewalk and as i was trying to keep up with the crowd of people in order to get across the street quickly, Steven was holding me back. Slowing his steps and keeping us on the corner of the sidewalk. He said "Did you have a good night?" I said yes and he said "Do you know what would make it better?" and I said what? and he said" if you would marry me" and got down on one knee with my ring right there in that crowd of people. He says that there were people gasping and watching but the world around me had stopped and I could only see him. I'm not sure I took a breath. I said yes and hugged him and was completely in shock. It was a better night than I could have even dreamed of and I am SO happy for our future together!
