He took me out to a beautiful birthday brunch at LuLu’s in West Nyack and little did I know that my family and best friends were back at his parent’s house waiting patiently to watch Alex ask me the most important question of our lives. We pull into the driveway with the biggest smiles on our faces and everything seems fairly normal, until I see vases of flowers all around the back patio and I see Alex trembling, reaching his hand down to grab a wooden box as he gets down on one knee and my stomach dropped. I had no idea what was happening, my body immediately shaking, and I couldn’t hear anything but the words “Will you marry me?”. I had my hands over my face in disbelief and I said “Of course!!” My now fiancé gave me a gigantic hug and kiss and that’s when everyone jumped out cheering and crying. The first face I saw was my grandmother with the most beautiful smile and I just couldn’t believe what has just happened. The love of my life, my best friend and soul mate just asked me to be his wife, everyone I love is here to share this moment with me and it was just most beautiful moment. We cannot wait to spend this journey called life together as husband and wife.
