Valentines Day morning came and I dressed up a little. We were to meet in the library at 12. There I sat, waiting for my boyfriend to come in. Ten minutes later, I see him with a large bouquet of red and yellow roses! First, he is never late. I was especially glad to see him since it had been a while! "awww.. roses, how sweet!" I thought. He handed me the roses, fancy chocolate and took my free hand. We left the library but didn't head directly to a parking lot. He kept taking out his phone and shielded it from me. (I was uncharacteristically uninterested) The entire walk, he seemed to be squeezing my hand!
So we continued walking towards the middle of campus and sat on a "random" bench by the lake. As we settled down, he let go of my hand and didn't take it again. We sat there, talking about nothing important. I was hungry but I was with my boyfriend, he bought me flowers, and it was a lovely day so I didn't mind.
"Rachel, I have a question to ask."
^he's not proposing is he?^
"How long have we been dating?"
^he knows we already decided it's been about 3 years... why is he asking again?^
So we talked about that for a minute but he didn't really seem to be in that conversation.
He started saying something about, well, I don't know.
But he stood up,
^what is he doing?^
knelt down,
^no, really??^
and pulled out a ring!
^oh my word! he is!^
He then asked if I would be his wife.
I said "sure... yes!"
He stood up and hugged me. :) After about a minute, he told me that he had asked Mrs. Myers to camp out on the balcony of the student center to take pictures as well as his friend Matt who was across the lake. I was just a little surprised!
Come to find out, everyone in the student center was watching and cheering for us! At least two random people congratulated us later on- evidently we were quite the lunchtime entertainment for the day!
