We're getting married!

Brett’s 30th birthday was on August 29th. I had a surprise party all planned to celebrate him and was going to take place on that following Sunday, August 31st at my parents house. The plan was for him to meet me at my parents after he got out of work and I was going to take him out to a fancy dinner down Cape. But, instead the plan really was for him to walk inside and be met by his family, my immediate family, and his friends (two who even came from NC and SC to celebrate with him). Well, turns out he had a trick up his sleeve. We somehow played the biggest uno reverse hand imaginable on each other. He never went to work. Instead, he had the most magical engagement planned. He got me to leave my parents house by convincing me to meet him at the beach to see if we could see sharks (trying to keep secret that everyone is already at my parents house waiting for his arrival, I grudgingly decide to go). As I walked to the cliff, I was expecting to see him in his work uniform. When I look up I was stunned. I was most certainly not expecting to see him standing there all dressed up holding flowers. Come to find out that with the help of all our family and friends we were both keeping big, beautiful secrets from each other. When we got back to my parents house I was met with more of my family and my two closest friends from college. The day was full of an abundance of love and happy tears. It was the most perfect day and one that I look forward to telling the story of throughout our lifetime together.
