We are getting married!

It was a typical summer Friday morning at our house (with a tad more excitement than usual as we were headed on a family vacation to North Carolina the next day). Quick note - I happened to be wearing a "Bridesmaid" tank top that day from a previous wedding I was in. I woke up and went downstairs to make our morning coffee and I could hear him coming down the stairs after me. I figured it was just to grab some water or something like that. Instead, he came up behind me and said, "Bridesmaid....wouldn't you rather it say Bride?" Now, I hadn't taken one sip of coffee yet and my initial reaction was one of incredulousness. I turned around with a snarl and said, "Yes, but you already know this!" As I turned my eyes did not immediately find him until I lowered my line of sight due to the fact that he was already down on one knee. My expression immediately changed to that of a beaming smile and he officially asked for my hand in marriage. "YES" was the only answer and it was the perfect moment, just us.
