Well to start Cory worked at Ziings in downtown Fullerton and I was 21 years old. Yes, this story would definitely be embarrassing if he didn't choose to marry me but he did so here it goes... I went to the bar to buy tequila shots for me and a girlfriend of mine and when I saw how cute he was I asked him to make it 3 shots because he was gonna take one with us. Now he SWEARS he has never done this before but I still find that hard to believe, he put the lime in his mouth and gestures to see if I'm up to take it. I must admit this was not the first shot of the night so I had plenty of liquid courage on me and I took it. Three years later of me visiting the bar periodically to take tequila shots with him, I asked him out. It was on spring break and he asked if I had any big plans and I said "I don't know, where are you taking me?" We had our first date the following day and have been together ever since.
Well now that you know how we met, the proposal will make a lot more sense to you. Cory had planned a date for us at Mozambique Roof Top Bar and Restaurant to celebrate 3 years from our first date. As we got to the restaurant and got seated Cory gets up and tells me he has to use the restroom but asks me to order us some drinks. He comes back a few minutes later with two shots of tequila and limes. I mean at this point tequila is tradition! He was sitting across from me and to be honest I thought he fell off his chair. He didn't, he was on one knee with the most beautiful ring in his mouth and says something like "I dropped the lime but this will have to do, Will you marry me?" Well I'm sure by now you know what I said, "YES!" After the meal a few drinks and some bad dancing. He surprised me with a beautiful hotel room viewing the ocean and had our friends decorate with roses everywhere (thank you Tawny and Casey!) He also got in contact with my boss so I had the following day off. Yes, I am one lucky gal!
