That's right, I'M GETTING MARRIED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It happened 3 weeks ago today. This is how it all went down. Christopher asked me if I wanted to come over on Thursday and go for a walk, grab a bite to eat and watch Jersey Shore. None of this seemed weird to me, as we do that every Thursday. (Yes, we watch Jersey Shore every week. We are on the guido bandwagon.) Well, my friend Lana asked if I wanted to grab drinks Thursday after work. So, I told Christopher that I'd just meet him at his house later on. Well, he acted all disappointed and said he really looked forward to our walks. Ususally he doesn't care if I change our plans so when he acted disappointed I felt bad and cancelled drinks. So I got over to his house and we started our walk. We walked from his house over to Powell Road Park in Collierville. I noticed he was walking awfully fast and I asked him what his hurry was. He said that usually I get on him for not walking fast enough. (This is true, usually I'm telling him to speed up that we won't burn any calories if we just stroll.) Half way through, I asked him if we could just go back that I was hungry an just wanted to go eat. He'd promised me La Haceinda, our favorite Mexican restaurant. He said we're halfway through we might as well finish. Little did I know that all these things I was doing were making him a nervous wreck.
So (thanks to Kim's mad camera skills) here we are walking:
C says to me, "Oh, we don't want to mess up someone's proposal we should probably move." And I'm thinking yeah because all those people in the picnic pavillion are probably waiting for this couple and we're standing in the middle of it. So I start to walk away.
The BIG moment!
No, there was not a "NO" pumpkin.
Now as we came back around to almost where we'd started. I saw these pumpkins lined up, but from the back. I told Christopher what a brilliant idea it was to carve your pumpkins in the park then you wouldn't have a mess to clean up at home and how we should do that. I saw people in the picnic pavillion and just assumed they had carved the pumpkins.
Little did I know, they had this carved into them...
So as we're almost to the end of the walking trail there are people running suicides on the path. So C says let's just cut through the grass. to which I say, "Why? They'll move." Again, something that probably freaked him out. Anyway, I follow him through the grass. He starts walking over to the pumpkins. Now, at this point I'm thinking: "Great, he's going to look at these pumpkins and chat with the people who carved them and I just want to go eat!"
So I walk over...
When I first looked at them, I thought they'd carved their names in them. Then, I realized what they said.
C says to me, "Oh, we don't want to mess up someone's proposal we should probably move." And I'm thinking yeah because all those people in the picnic pavillion are probably waiting for this couple and we're standing in the middle of it. So I start to walk away.
At this point, C says "Wait, these are for you." My reaction: "No freaking way!" (and at this point I still have no idea someone's taking pictures, or videotaping for that matter)
The BIG moment!
No, there was not a "NO" pumpkin.
So relieved all his plans went without a hitch!
So, so happy.
Our sweet friend, Kim who took all these fantastic pictures.
Our friend, John, Kim's husband who video recorded it all. I had no idea when we walked past those bushes he was standing right there.
We've already started planning. The date is set and the location is booked. We are super excited for all the fun planning and preparing we have over the next 6 months. I've also decided that this won't become an "all about our wedding blog."
