We were in Japan, visiting our very first Pokémon Center together in Shibuya on our first full day in the country. As we were going up the escalator to the storefront, Nate was rifling around in my backpack. I asked what he was doing and he told me he was looking for something. We approached the iconic statue of Mewtwo in front of the store and I saw a girl taking selfies. I asked if she wanted me to take her photo, and she did! After I got her photo, she asked if we wanted a picture. We excitedly said yes and headed over to the Mewtwo statue! I wondered what Nate was doing because he walked to the other side of the statue and didn’t come stand beside me! Little did I know that he was planning to ask me to marry him right there. It was so romantic, and perfect for us as a couple. We love playing Pokémon together and visiting the Pokémon Center was high on our list of things to do together when we arrived in Japan. I stood there smiling for way too long, and a nice man gently asked me to move out of the way so other people could also take photos with Mewtwo. After, Nate told me all about how panicked and anxious he was about getting the ring through security at the airport. Now I know why he was so nervous from the moment we got to the airport!
