The Proposal

08/08/2017

Me and Petes daughter Alexis were in the living room of our apartment and I was sitting on the floor doing laundry. Alexis had asked me where I had gotten my pineapple purse from and I said "It was a birthday gift from my stepmom". Alexis asked "how do I get one of those?" And I said "a pineapple purse??" And she replied " no, a step mom." As I was explaining to her about if her father and I got married or if her mother gets married, I would be her stepmother and her mother's husband would be her stepfather. Alexis then asked if that was when the boy takes the girl out to dinner and asks her to marry him in front of a whole bunch of people and its a suprise and i said "sometimes, yes." Pete heard this conversation and came out to listen, and Alexis said "Daddy, when you decide to ask Andrea, i wanna be there for the suprise!!!" Pete asked "is that what you want Alexis? Would you want Andrea to be your stepmom?" And Alexis smiled and shook her head up and down "Yes, Daddy". I put my head down and smiled because i was so happy and I felt so accepted by her and it was such an amazing feeling. As I raised my head to look at Pete, he was walking over to me and I looked at him and he said "well alright then" and he got down onto the floor next to me and popped the question. I remember my face just getting warmer and warmer and hearing Alexis clapping her hands and yelling "YEEEEEEEEEEEEEY!" And I didn't know who was more excited, me or Alexis!!!! Pete said "I had another plan in mind but this was a perfect moment because I have both of my girls together, you both were talking about it and it made me really happy... it was just the perfect time". And now, the wedding planning begins!!!!! We're so excited to celebrate this next chapter in our lives with you. See you all in August!!!!

First off, we'd like to say that your presence at our wedding is the greatest gift we could ask for. The time, effort and expense of traveling to be with us is something we deeply appreciate in our hearts, and we are so thrilled that we will be able to celebrate this happy occasion with you. We have been blessed to have a lot of the "essential" home items that a newly engaged couple needs. While there are a couple items on the list, we hope you find this registry as a way to help us make our perfect honeymoon come true! While Pete and I have only taken 2 trips together, we are very much looking forward to our first real adventure as husband and wife. After all, the memories from this trip will last a lot longer than a new set of wine glasses (especially at Petes breakage rate!). Thanks again and we can't wait to see you at the wedding (or earlier!). Love, Andrea & Pete
