Adam and I had been dating 1 year and 2 days when we took of to Germany with our friends Cori and Kelly to visit Cameron and Ed who live has recently moved there. It worked out well that we had friends that lived in the land of Oktoberfest. Adam and I had been lucky enough to travel to Belgium and Paris earlier in the year and it went so well that we were all smiles and excitement for our next adventure. While I was sure at some point I would marry this man, it seemed like a far off idea. Despite every single person I've ever met telling me I'd get engaged in Germany, I thought this was a "friend" trip. We were travelling with a group after all. Little did I know that Adam had been in contact with my friends for weeks trying to hatch a plan. The first full day in Germany we all got up, got outfitted in our German finest, and headed to the Fest. What an incredible sight for the eyes and delight for the senses. We even got to meet up without our dear friends Alec and Jake and had a wonderful group to spend the day with. I remember being in a tent surrounded by friends, listening to a German band play the YMCA, and being caught up in an extremely happy moment. I got a tap on my shoulder and turned to see this man that I love get down on one knee, produce a gorgeous ring out of thin air....and that's all that I remember! Happy feelings, happy tears. My heart was so full that I couldn't process everything going on around me. When he stood up I just held onto him and cried. There were cheers, shouts, and lots of love surrounding us. It was absolutely perfect. What made it so "us' is that later at dinner when it was just the two of us, I confessed I didn't remember what he said. He told me all of the things he prepared to say before I started crying and effectively cut him off. He then proceeded to tell me there really was no set plan. He was going to carry that ring around in his pocket and wait for "the moment". Boy did he find it!
