We’re FINALLY Getting Married!

May 15th was everything that I could have hoped for. After 6.5 years, Kyle could have easily handed me the ring attached to a popsicle and I would have been delighted, but he really went all out and made it a day that I’ll never forget. Let’s walk through the day: 10:00 a.m. - Avacado toast in bed. Dream come true right? Well… queue the immediate stress. At this point I knew it was about to go down. I just didn’t know where or when, but it’s not everyday that I wake up to breakfast and coffee in bed. 11:00 a.m. - Arrival at Union Station. Okay, I thought to myself, this is defiitely where it was going to happen. Well after my life’s worst, stress enduced game of putt putt and a panic ride on the ferris wheel….. nothing. He left me second guessing myself; maybe it wasn’t going to happen today. 12:30 p.m. - Brunch at Squire’s. Of course, I was too nervous to actually eat anything. That espresso martini was sure delicious though :) 2:00 p.m. - Arrived at home again. Concern was bubbling up. Was he really not going to do it AGAIN? Oh but wait! He wants to take the dogs to Forest Park! Things are looking up. 2:30 p.m. — Arrived at Forest Park in shoes that I would not consider the world’s most comfortable. We walked, and we walked and we walked. I could practically see his wheels turning and the sweat dropping while he plotted where and when he wanted to drop down. And then FINALLY the moment we’ve all been waiting for! He stopped on one of the bridges and dropped down to one knee and asked the question that I have SO patiently been waiting for. It was the easiest “Yes” of my life and having our cutie pie dogs there made it even better. After this, I think I emotionally blacked out for a little bit from excitement and the build-up of nerves from the day. The rest of the night was filled with family, food (that I still couldn’t eat) and many, MANY drinks. It was perfect.
