When I Got Down On One Knee

03/22/2019

All. Day. Long. I was nervous. Madison was in San Jose for work all week and I convinced her to fly to Coronado California for one day. Our friends were planning on meeting us there for a fun short trip, Madison was clueless. We had an easy going day planned filled great food and fun time with friends on the beach. At the end of the day I had a "fancy dinner" planned. Fake news. I wanted her to get ready so she wouldn't be in a bathing suit for the proposal. We started walking down the beach to get to dinner and somehow both of my friends forgot their phones at the house (Madison fell for it lol). As we walked down the beach I began to run through the dates of how we had gotten to this point. I told her about how I went and talked with her Dad, bought a ring and how I have been planning non-stop for this moment. My heart was exploding! We got to a blanket I had put at the beach earlier that day, got down on one knee and asked her to marry me! She said yes!

When I Said Yes!

I. Fell. For. The. Whole. Plan. I couldn't have been more on board to spend a day in Coronado. We woke up Friday morning and went to breakfast, the gals got their nails done while the boys played tennis, & then we went to the beach to play spike ball. As Riley said, I was under the impression we were going to go to dinner at The Del & naturally I wanted to take a shower. So we got all ready and the group decided we were going to walk down the beach to dinner, I tried to put up a fight because why not take the golf cart?! I gave in and we walked down the beach. Riley and I were alone at this point & I was trying to have a conversation with him to which he would hardly converse. After a second, he said "wow look at the beautiful sunset!" I turned, looked at the sun...and it was high in the sky. This is when I knew something was up. We then kept walking as he talked through the timeline of us dating & how special the time has been. When I saw the blanket on the beach, I started crying and before I knew it he was down on one knee asking me to marry him!! & of course I said yes!
