Well, we live in an area that has amazing sunsets. We've always enjoyed sitting outside watching the sun go down and talking about anything and everything, learning more about each other. Our times on the patio are special to us. My girl had filed for divorce from her husband and it was almost final. I found the ring and bought it.
On August 18, 2008 I suggested that we go outside and enjoy the sunset. We went outside. As we were standing there, I wrapped my arms around her and just told her how amazing she is and how much I love her. Then I let go of her and began to look into her eyes. The moment was right, so I got down on one knee and told her that I would be honored if she would spend the rest of her life with me. Of course she said yes!! We are planning our ceremony for June 6, 2009.
We are both very happy and excited!!
