"Well Technically, You Had The Stop Sign"

These were Chris's First Words to Tiff

We met in college at a table of friends, Tiffany had just gotten into a car accident and was discussing how she had been found at fault. Chris, being a criminal justice student, asked about how the accident had occurred. It had been a 4 way intersection and unfortunately Tiff had the stop sign. Tiff was not pleased.

Professional Degenerates

Re-meeting at the Mall

After college Chris and Tiffany both started working at the Pheasant Lane Mall. Whilst Chris was doing his rounds, as a security guard, he would pass by some of the places Tiff worked. Remembering that rather nice girl from college and looking to make a friend to kill time with, Chris said hello. Tiff had forgotten all about the weird guy who had told her she was legally wrong and politely said hi back. After a few more hello's and idle chatter, Chris and Tiff were good friends. Chris then made an offer some time we should get dinner and drinks.

Ohh... It's Like 2AM

Dating: The Early Years

After the Christmas busy season, Chris had decided that after he got back from California and seeing his uncle, he was going to follow through with a promise of cheer up alcohol that he made to Tiff. Unfortunately, Chris's dad broke his arm skiing and the trip was canceled last minute. Chris had decided "ok, looks like we can meet up a little earlier", and Chris asked Tiff if she wanted to go get drinks at the most romantic place of all... Smokey Bones, which is about a 2 minute drive from the mall, despite being on property. Tiff had thought that this was a dinner between two good friends and agreed. After a meeting up and having a drink or two, some wings, and the delicious pretzel bones; Chris and Tiff had had several dozen conversations ranging from politics to cartoons with several bad puns throughout. After leaving the restaurant and continuing to have several different conversations following a train of logic only those with ADHD can have/follow, they decided to do this again at the Bahama Breeze about a 5 minute drive from the mall with scenic views of the overflow parking and Sears where they had several more conversations until they noticed the parking lot was empty and the few people walking to there cars were clearly staff leaving or about 2 am they decided they would Have to coordinate a time to meet up when they wouldn't be saying goodbye at 2 am.

"I Like Your Face"

Deadpool 2/14/2016

Chris and Tiff had spent about a month and a half having conversations (while avoiding being disciplined by their supervisors) and meeting up for additional dinners and days of wandering around the mall. Both of them, being nerds, were excited about the new Deadpool movie that was coming out. They ordered tickets for the last showing of the night and met up at the movie theater and enjoyed watching Ryan Gosling make jokes about previous movies and after the movie was finished and the post credits scene had been seen Chris and Tiff went back out to there cars and exchanged valentines day gifts, then some time around midnight they said 4 fateful words to each other, "I Like Your Face."

"How About A Magic Ring?"

The Plan™

Over the years of dating Tiff would ask Chris to marry her several times both serious and sarcastic, each time Chris would say "don't worry I have a plan" then Tiff would ask Chris about the plan, Chris would make Tiff guess and each guess would be confirmed no mater how ridiculous. The plan was simple 1. Go to Universal Studio 2. Do the Ollivander's Wand Shop show where a random person in the crowd gets picked for recreating the scene where Harry picks his wand 3. get Tiff picked 4. before the 3rd wand interrupt the show and offer Tiff the engagement ring 5.????? 6. Marriage After convincing Tiff, who is afraid of planes, to fly to Orlando, to go to Disney, NASA, and Universal Studios, the stage was set. Tiff knew that the ring had been purchased as it's hard to hide major purchases when you both work from home, and was expecting the proposal any day now. She had even jokingly suggested that he could propose to her while they were making lightsabers. Chris just brushed her off and said that the location of the proposal would be even more "magical". As the Vacation drew near, everyone that knew about the ring and the vacation, was convinced that Tiff knew exactly what was happening. On Wednesday, September 15, 2021, Chris and Tiff were some of the first guests to enter the park and were in line for the show at Ollivander's Wand Shop. They were taking in the sights and sounds of Diagon Alley, Tiff had noticed that Chris had been very anxious about this attraction the entire morning, but she's oblivious and chalked it up to him being as excited as her being at Harry Potter World in Universal. So far, the plan had been going off without a hitch, small bumps in the road, like not going straight to Olivander's, but going on the Mummy Ride, and allowing Chris to pop the ring into his pocket before getting into Diagon Alley. Waiting in line, not ideal, but okay. It was almost the moment. They were in the show. Tiff, did not get picked. Chris had to scramble, to think...Step 5... Improvise? IMPROV!!! In the hall, outside the show, and before the walls of wands, Chris pulled Tiff aside. She was just mere feet away from the thing she wanted most.... A wand to do magic with at Harry Potter World! Then Chris started talking strangely. He held her hand and told her to wait for the crowd to pass. She brushed him aside and stated that it was okay, she wanted to see the wands. Chris said that he was sorry that the wand didn't pick her, but... Tiff was confused, because it was a show and now she can pick out a wand now. He continued, "how about a Magic Ring instead?" as he produced the ring. Verily perplexed, and staring at Chris, she looked at his face, then his hands, then the box, and then the ring. Tiff.exe has stopped working. She could hardly believe her eyes. She was in one of the most magical places on earth, with the person that she loved most, with him asking the question that she most wanted to hear. "Will you marry me?"
