You arrived to my
house at 3am and then headed over to Leah’s to “spend the night”. You met with my dad the next morning to ask
if you could marry me…I didn’t know this of course! We ate at 12 bones, went shooting with Ryan’s
community group, and then went to the Asheville Pregnancy Support Services
where my story was shared. We finished
off the evening at the LAB with beer and Sangria. On the 11th we celebrated your 19th
birthday with blackberry pancakes, presents (a pizza cutter :) ), pumpkin flag cake and pink glitter candles, La Zoom Tour,
and Hot Springs with massages. Later
that evening you proposed to me in my backyard by a bonfire with s’mores. I said “yes”.
So this night you had told me we had one more thing to do after a long day of celebrating your 19th birthday. You took me into the back yard where you made a fire and had chocolate, marshmallows, and graham crackers to make s'mores. We had done this about a month before in D.C. and had a great time so I just figured you were being sweet by recreating it again.
After sitting there a little while I could tell you were getting really nervous and I thought "what is about to happen to me?". You handed me a box, but not a ring box and I thought, why are you so nervous to give me jewelry? I opened it and inside was a necklace.
Micah: "Will you marry me?"
Me: "Are you for real?"
Micah: "Yes."
Me: "...... yes?!"
...........
Me: "This is so sketch. Do my parents know?"
Micah: "Yes! And so does Leah, and Caroline, and ....."
Me: "Ok! Then, YES!"
You then started telling me about how you had had the necklace made. It has two Indian rubies (our birthstones) that you bought in India three years ago. One ruby is the central stone and one ruby is part of the clasp. Then each of the rubies are surrounded by white sapphires which are Juliet's birthstone. My only "requirement" for being proposed to was to be surprised, and to say I was surprised would be putting it nicely. I was more like confused, in denial, and shocked. I think it took me till the next day to settle into excitement!
The next day was a blur as we jumped right into wedding planning. We celebrated at Papa’s and Beer for dinner. Tuesday you stopped by App State to watch me teach Spanish on your way home to D.C. You totally had to kiss me in my office, just for the story.
