We're getting married!

Our paths have crossed multiple times in our life, before we ever thought anything of it. First in the fourth grade, when Matthew had the biggest crush on me. Once again in tenth grade, when Matthew liked talking to me on the bus. And finally in June of 2018, after my Dad met Matthew at O'Reilly's and we reconnected. We went on one coffee date, and haven't stopped seeing each other since!

About 2 weeks before Matt asked me, he told me he bought me a gift and that it was the best gift ever, continuously raving on about it for the next few days. Suspicious much?! The day after the "gift" had arrived we were together, and Matt casually asked "do you want to get married?" I suspiciously responded with "are you asking me for real?" He said "yeah" and sassy me responds with "well you aren't doing it right!" He proceeded to get down on one knee and asked if he was missing something. Then he handed me a small shipping package, which I opened to another package, and finally a ring box. At this point, I thought maybe he was just messing with me, and I flipped the ring box open, surprised to see a ring glittering back at me. I was speechless, and he says "well you haven't answered me?" Of course, I said yes!
