It was Monday May 8th, 2023 and I was suppose to work that day. But I ended up getting a call from the hospital and they told me they didn’t need me that day. It worked out perfectly because I was able to go get my nails done! Thomas came home early from work and I begged him to go to the family property (where we’re getting married) to go fishing because it was a BEAUTIFUL DAY. Once at the River fishing Thomas walked away from me and said he was going to go find a spot to fish on the bank of the river. About 10 min later I hear him yelling “you gotta come here quick!”. So I ran over to him, to see a piece of paper in a old dirty Italian bourbon bottle. I said out loud “OMG A MESSAGE IN A BOTTLE” (I didn’t even think about how I had saw this piece of paper in his trucks center counsel a month prior to). Written on this old distressed sheet of paper was Thomas asking me to marry him.
