 OrnTrothar has finally asked me to be his wifey :D 

It was a very memorable day that is for sure haha. 

I am so very happy to have found true love. 







This is from Orn’s point of view as I stole it from his journal since it’s to good not to share :D 



---Warning! Bit of a Story following!---



To give a bit of background: Aulways was previously married to a jerk of a ex husband who is still in their son's life. This ex husband has lately been dating a woman that works at Disney and as a treat for his son (and as a way to try to be on friendly terms with us imho) offered to pay for all five of our tickets to spend the day together. Naturally we were a bit skeptical about spending all day together but looking at it more as a fun thing for their son to do, and not wanting to miss his first trip to Disney we agreed.

While waiting for the date I was debating about something that I know I wanted to do for a long time at Disney, propose to my mate in one of the most magical places known to us. We had a month or so head notice so during that time I did a fair bit of research and mental preparation wanting to make it a magical memorable experience that far out steps her ex's "proposal" of none existent before going to the court house. Aulways already had talked to me in the past about some of her 'conditions' she would like to be taken into consideration for a proposal; 1) Having her grandmother's ring, 2) The ring box her grandfather proposed to her grandmother with, 3) Not being in a terribly over crowded area to avoid embarrassment, 4) Bend the knee Jon Snow. Conditions 1 and 2 were pretty easy as years ago she gave me the box and I had kept it safe waiting for this chance, and recently finally found a jeweler to resize her ring to fit. Condition 4 in my mind would be the easiest, as for the longest amount of time I've told her my intentions of one day proposing to her to make her mine and only mine. Which of course made the last condition the hardest as being in Disney there wasn't going to be that many relatively deserted areas to pick from.

To Youtube I went, and stumbled upon a number of proposal videos at a location called "Cinderella's Wishing Well" which instantly stuck out as Aulways is quite the fan of Cinderella. Helped that from the videos I watched it was commented on being quite a nice scenic area near the castle, not being as frequently visited as other landmarks, and something magical about proposing at a wishing well sealed the deal. Now for the part of actually doing the deed...



On the day of our trip I made sure to pack the ring box somewhere I could reach it easier while trying to be discrete to not get her attention, into my pants pocket. We drive over, park, catch a 'trolley' to get to the entrance, and start to go through security. Being the guy that was carrying our single backpack in hindsight I should of put the box in the pack while she wasn't watching but silly me, got distracted with the excitement that it was still in my pocket while going through a metal detector...

*bing*

Security Guard pulls out a wand and gives me a wave, notices it going off at my pocket. Course Aulways had just finished with her walk through the detector and had turned around to see what was keeping me. Security Guard asks me to empty my pocket to which being compliant try to be discrete with the box, Aulways with her sharp eyes sees it. And that would be the story of how only my proposal gets ruined by a security guard. lol.



Despite that wreck of a start for the day, Aulways assures me that she's happy I tried, trying to cheer me up. I promise here that I will do the actual thing before the days end, before we get joined by her ex and his girlfriend to spend some of the day together. Their son and us rode quite a few rides and had a good time before the ex and gf had to leave early to deal with other things, wishing us a good rest of our day. Of course the kid wants to ride more rides before they close practically as the darkness falls, and hunger made us stop at one more place to grab a bite leading to full on night time before we finally found the Wishing Well. Showing her the well and in an attempt to wait for it to clear up some of people eventually I just got down on one knee and popped the question "Will you be my Cinderella?" in complete darkness. Of course my day couldn't go without one more derp as I opened the box with her ring in it and temporarily dropped the dang thing on the ground and had to grope the darkness looking for it before sliding it on her finger.



All's said and done, extremely happy that she's happy with the engagement even with all it's derp moments. Of course had to tell the family to which much laughter at my expense was had. But that doesn't matter as my princess is finally one step closer to being 100% my princess legally.



---End of long story---



TL;DR- Planned to propose at Disney World, security guard ruined the surprise, still did the proposal albeit in the dark and almost lost the ring in said darkness.
