WE'RE ENGAGED!!
11 years ago
I was off the market unofficially before hand, but now its official that i've been taken! I get to start my life with the most amazing woman I've ever met:

I'm sure many of you probably know the story by now, since y'all watch both of us, but I figure I can give my own version.
I know Luna very very well. I know shes a Disney fanatic, loves cute romantic things, and loves Tangled. The only option to do is to have a tangled themed proposal of course! I planned it for months with my kitchen manager at the Texas Roadhouse where I work. He'd help me get lanterns, and I'd try to find people. I told people my plan months in advance and they were all so happy to be a part of something special. Its not like these kinds of opportunities come around often. I originally planned for everyone to come to this suspension bridge in downtown Greenville, South Carolina. This bridge, and its surrounding downtown area, was the site of our first kiss and our 1st date as boyfriend and girlfriend. Its special to us. With everyone at the bridge (at night, to be well hidden) they were to light lanterns and recreate the cute scene in Tangled.
Monday morning, May 26th, we got up like any normal day. I informed adri that I wanted to go out to eat after work that night and have a date night. We haven't had one in a while, so it seemed like a good idea. I also told her a little white lie: That there would be fireworks at the bridge for memorial day at midnight. (she just didn't know what kind of fireworks ;3) It was the perfect plan so everyone had time to get lanterns ready, and to get her out late at night.
The whole day was just stressful though. Work was hard to focus on, since I knew I had a bigger life altering moment later that night, and there was a 40% chance of rain. That wasn't going to work. The "back-up plan" was non-existent. In the words of my kitchen manager: "It can't rain." The great thing was that it seemed like it would hold and I was to get off work at 10. After 10 is when I usually start my backwork as a waiter, roll silver, clean my tables, sweep, and usually another random chore. My co-workers decided that wasn't going to fly, and I had a woman to win, and helped me with ALL of my backwork to get out early. It felt amazing with how much they wanted to help.
Thanks to the efforts of my friends at work, I was able to get home and get Luna to a restaurant downtown around 11. By the time we finished eating it was 11:55. She was worried that we would miss the fireworks and I assured her we wouldn't lol. We made the walk to the fated bridge at night. Just us. Alone. As we walked on the bridge she was terrified telling me that she wanted to go home, and who knows what could happen out here...little did she know that she had around 50 supporters underneath the bridge with lanterns waiting. I told her we needed to stay just a bit longer, to which she was very mad and scared at this point. She turned around, ready to leave, where she was met with a wall of lanterns. By the time she turned back around just barely getting out "l...lanterns?.." I was on one knee. She knew then. The tears were about to rush and I heard her say "is this real" before I asked her the biggest question of my life to her: "Will you marry me?"
AND THE ANSWER WAS YES!!! :heart: :heart: :heart:
My friends, family, and co-workers all came up to greet us and congratulate us before we started some picture taking. It was one of the most amazing moments of my life...its only one though. I'm sure with her in my life, there will be many, many more amazing moments. And I can't wait to spend every one with her. :'3
I love you Adri. :heart:
