It's all happening

We met at a wine lounge in Old Town Temecula. My girlfriend asked me to dinner and as we were enjoying our drinks, a few handsome gentlemen walked through the door. As my girl friend confidently waved them over I hid my head, embarrassed, and ran to the restroom. When I returned to my chair, Joey's friend walked over and sat next to me and talked my ear off. I looked over at Joey thinking "help" and as soon as his friend went to the restroom, Joey walked over and instantly made me laugh. From that point on we have been inseparable and we knew we'd be spending forever together.

Finally the day came when I knew I was going to ask her to spend the rest of her life with me. Being a romantic, I had it all planned out; horse carriage ride through vineyards, secret photographers, wine, snacks, best friends were in on it, even Ella knew what was happening! I was ecstatic! Ready for the things to get started, but of course things never go as planned! It started pouring rain that day, thats when the horse carriage company called to inform me it had to be canceled! Hearing this news right in front of Alison, I kept a straight face went to the restroom and panicked! Determined to ask the woman of my dreams to marry me, I threw together a back up plan! Picnic at a winery! Yes, it was still raining! I was packing all the food and drinks at the house with all of our kids running around, Alison of course getting frustrated and not understanding why we must still go outside in the rain(she just curled her hair). Finally, we all get out the door, as we arrive the rain stops! So quickly I ask her friend to take pictures of us as a family in the vineyards, then the moment came, I asked for one more photo to be taken and as she is looking at the cameras I get on my knee I pull out her ring! She looks at me in disbelief (literally as I always joked about proposing) she started to say "stop" in the only way she knows how (throwing her hands up)but then she saw the ring and gasped! I, freaking out inside, forgot my speech, so I spoke through straight emotion and said, "Alison, I love you, and I want to spend the rest of my life with you! Will you marry me? To witch she said "YES"!
