More On How Andrew & I Ended Up "US"
After I moved back down to Columbus, Andrew and I got to see each other every day. It was wonderful! We had a few family members that became quite jealous of our time, but it all worked out fine in the end. We dated for almost 2 years before he proposed.
I lived in a townhome at the time and when I got home from work, I walked in the door to a puddle of rose petals at my feet. I did not see him anywhere but when I looked to my left, where the staircase was there was literally a trail of rose petals leading up the stairs. So, screaming "ANDREW, THIS IS NOT FUNNY AND IT'S NOT A VERY NICE JOKE!" all the way upstairs, I kept walking. When I got to the top, there was a note on the door that said "Do not come in until you read the computer." So, I walked over to the computer to find the most precious and awesome love letter that a woman could have ever been given. At the end, it said "Now, open the door....." I opened the door to find the true love of my life bent down on one knee asking me to marry him. I was so completely shocked and speechless! It was absolutely incredible!
Now, you have to know that my husband is not the romantic type - so for him to have gone to all of this trouble just to see me smile basically (because he already knew my answer!) was just so special to me! After many tears and a big fat "OF COURSE I WILL!" we called all of our family and most of our friends to tell them our news and went out to eat together to celebrate.
That same week, we decided that the date of our wedding would be in just a few months on November 6th!
THE PROPOSAL
WOW! It was awesome! I worked that day and was used to talking to him several times a day - but this particular one, he didn't call me at all. I was so worried all day that he was planning to tell me that we needed to see other people - - - or make up some other excuse to get rid of me.
