We’re getting married!

Jeremy and I had a vacation planned for the beginning of April where we were going to go to Atlanta for a few days, then go visit my parents in Virginia. We had Jeremys’ mom, Judy, go to our apartment in North Carolina so we could pick her up on the way up to Virginia. As we were traveling to North Carolina to pick up Judy, Jeremy got a phone call from an old boss. Jeremy put him on speaker as they were chatting. All of a sudden his former boss says “So have you proposed yet?”. So of course my jaw dropped and my eyes got big with excitement! I looked over at Jeremy with a big smile on my face, but Jeremy tells me the ring is in a safe at his work. Judy, Jeremy, and I got up to my parents house in Virginia, but we never went by Jeremys’ office while we went through North Carolina (so I assumed he didn’t have the ring with him). First, Jeremy planned to propose at the cherry blossoms in Washington D.C., but the day we went to go see them he wasn’t feeling well and stayed home. When Judy and I got back from D.C. that day my mom suggested that we go to the Meadowlark Gardens near the house the next day (which I now know was her helping with plan #2). It ended up raining the day we were planning on going to the gardens, so we went to Topgolf instead. The next day was our final day with my parents and we were having family over for dinner so everyone could meet Judy. We all ate dinner and as I was finishing my brownie, Jeremy grabbed my hand and asked my to stand up in front of everyone. That’s when I knew he really did have the ring with him. He got down on one knee, asked me to marry him, and of course I said YES! on April 5, 2019!
