We're Getting Married!

Tony It's Saturday. I have the ring. its hidden at home. It is my turn to work on Saturday. I had told some of my co-workers that I am asking Kristin to marry me that day which they remind me of on the hour. I am already excited but anxious to do it and this reminder really helps me keep a level head... We made plans to go the city for either her 25th birthday OR our 7 year dating anniversary. Pro-tip: if you have a less than stellar memory, try not to stack very important dates too close to each other... they blend in your mind. Anyway, I had made plans to ask in the city before dinner, but on the way home I decided to do it in a place we worked hard to make a home. While trying to stay calm enough to make sense and talk, I came over to hug her, and BAM! I did it. After telling her how much she means to me I asked her to marry me. She said yes! Kristin It’s our 7th anniversary and Tony had reservations at Budakan in the city where he took me in 2011 for our 1 year dating anniversary/my birthday. My cousin & I did some shopping that afternoon followed by her practically begging me to go get a manicure with her, normally I’m the one asking. Good thing we went! When Tony came home from work, he had a bottle of champagne and flowers and had asked me to come into the kitchen so we could exchange cards. Once I opened Tonys card and started reading the hand written letter he put inside, I immediately started crying from reading his reflection of our relationship from the past 7 years. But, let’s be honest...I cry over everything. He then goes on to say a bunch of things I don’t really remember before standing me up to hug me. He then proceeds to get down on one knee and asked me to marry him and be his for forever. I believe he would say I cried, “are you serious” about 6 times before saying YES!! I was so surprised and will forever remember that moment. I am so excited for the big day and we can not wait to celebrate with you all!
