The Proposal

July 13, 2020

Billy & I had been planning dinner at All-You-Can-Eat Crab Leg night at Cabana Sam's on a beautiful summer night for a few weeks to celebrate our 10-year anniversary. The place was packed and there wasn't going to be a table available for hours, we looked around the room and spotted 2 seats at the bar. We were able to get service and enjoy our meal without having to wait too long. As we finished up dinner, Billy asked if I wanted to go for a walk on the beach at the hidden marina where we used to sit and watch the sunset a lot when we first got together, so of course I said sure! Billy had a cooler packed and ready to go, so we found a place to sit and watch the sunset. Billy grabbed us a couple drinks and we sat and talked about our old memories from that beach. I noticed Billy had chugged down 2 beers to my 1, I asked, "are you ok?" and he responded with something like, "oh yeah just thirsty" lol. Then it started to get cloudy and windy and looked like it was about to rain, I was ready to leave. We got up to go and that's when he said "Wait, I have something I have to do before we leave." Then he gave me a big hug and kissed my forehead, he said the most wonderful things about me then got down on one knee and asked me to marry him, to which I responded with a teary filled ,YES! The clouds were gone, and all I could see was a sparkly ring on my finger and a beautiful sunset in the background. Topped off with 2 celebratory shots of Jagermeister, it was the ending to a perfect summer night.
