I rode with my friend up to Brad's work after one of the workers pulled the wrong gate and we were sent to go get the right one. It just so happened to be Brad that came out and loaded the truck up with the right gate this time. He talked to my friend for awhile while I completely ignored him (I was so rude to him). After seeing each other for the first time, he was very persistent about getting my number. After multiple turn downs for a first date, I finally decided to give him a chance and I guess you can say that worked out great for us.
We had planned a 5 day cruise to the Bahamas in early August. We traveled to Florida to spend a day with his grandparents and "decided" to go to a restaurant by the beach (Brad had everything set up months in advanced). After dinner Brad took me for a walk on the beach with a little gift bag in his hand. We stopped by a sea turtles nest and thats when he gave me my gift to open. I pulled out a long string that had a little note every couple inches of things we were going to get to experience during our cruise...drinks on the beach.....go snorkeling....and when I finally got to the last note it said....BECOME MRS. RUDE! I was totally socked and speechless. I looked up and he was down on one knee with the most perfect ring.
