Can't wait to tie the knot

Joey and I started as friends in high school when I was a sophomore and Joey was a junior. We maintained a distant friendship for almost 9 years as our lives took us in very different directions for a while. Then, one December day in 2017, Joey finally asked me on a date disguised as old friends catching up and him introducing me to a new cuisine. This is how our love story began; over my first bowl of pho.

I can be difficult to surprise and Joey knew that I was anticipating this proposal, so he figured out exactly how to pull it off. We had our "babe day" while on vacation and I spent the entire day waiting to see him get down on one knee. When he didn't, I had resigned myself to the fact that it wouldn't be happening on the cape. The next morning was typical, getting ready for our adventures, but Joey was acting so weird. We ended up heading out to see a lighthouse while waiting for his mom and grandma to join us for the day. We decided we'd all meet up at Wellfleet Harbor, Joey's favorite place in the world. Joey and I beat them there and were hanging out on the pier while we waited. All of a sudden, Joey pulls me into an embrace and then gets down on one knee. I was in total shock and couldn't speak. Until I hear from beside us "I hope you said 'Yes!'" to see that Joey had pulled off the ultimate surprise, getting my mom out to the cape with us to witness such a special moment. I even ran and hugged her before Joey could get the ring on my finger! We got to spend the rest of the day celebrating and enjoying all of the love that we have in our lives. It was such a special day, but next comes THE most special day!
