For years we always bumped into each other, even had a lot of the same friends. Even though we never really talked. It wasn't until summer 2016 that a group of friends went to the casino and he was one of them. I thought 'hm I'm kind of into him' however, that summer just wasn't our time. Fast forward to late spring we started talking and hung out a few times. Now at this point if you ask Jay he'll tell you that I was playing games with him ( I wasn't). That May I got into a bad car accident, and even when I gave him an out he didn't take it, he never left my side. Boy am I glad he never ran!
As most of you know, Jay and I are both stubborn more then I'd like to admit. So leading up to this day I was under the assumption that we weren't getting engaged anytime soon, oh was I wrong. The morning of the proposal, (which is always Jay's birthday) Jay woke me up. Here I am thinking he's hungry and wants to go to breakfast. Looking back he was so antsy, especially because Luca was still sleeping. Once I'm done getting ready Jay takes Luca upstairs, which was odd because typically I get him ready in the morning, but I thought 'first birthday together, okay'. Well, they were taking forever so I started cleaning finally I sat down just waiting. Jay finally comes down with Luca, to where I see Luca wearing this long sleeve onesie. First thought was 'I didn't buy that', Jay is holding Luca outward and wrapping his arms around Luca's stomach, I don' think anything of it. Jay then sits Luca down on my lap, takes me about 30 seconds to notice something is on his shirt. Then I read 'Mommy will you marry my daddy?' Honestly, I was speechless and even blacked out. Jay is on one knee behind Luca, and gives Luca the box. Luca hands me the box obviously still surprised. Jay asks Luca 'buddy she didn't give us an answer'. It was the most perfect proposal from my two favorite guys.
