Our mutual friend Brad introduced us. I was good friends with Brad as to my sorority often mingled with his fraternity. His buddy (Robby) was in town visiting with him and said he HAD to introduce us! Robby and I were connected at the lips ever since! If it wasn't for Brad I would have never met the love of my life.
It was a Thursday night, we were packing for our good friend Camerly's wedding that was in Monterey the next day. We were in our bedroom packing our suitcases when I noticed Robby frantically pacing up and down the stairs..Literally up and down the stairs 10 times.. I asked what he was doing and he said he kept forgetting things downstairs that he needed to pack (liar). I continued packing and didn't think much of it. Then finally he says "will you go downstairs i want to show you something" i said "sure, did you buy us a new kitty?". I go downstairs, he blindfolds me and sits me on the couch. He says to take my blindfold off, he was holding a boquet of flowers in one hand and a ring in the other. He was down on one knee and asked if i would marry him. We both cried (yes, both of us). It was such a surreal moment in the comfort of our own home that we love so much a place where we feel safe and a place that we share our love for one another. It was perfect. The next morning we left for Monterey and our friends spoiled us for the entire weekend. Despite it being Camerly's big day- she continued to shower me/us the entire weekend. Any chance she would get she would propose a toast to us. She made the proposal that much more special.
