His palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy...just kidding. Blake (not so sneakily) comes TO my work WITH my engagement ring to show Mama and my boss. My family makes plans for dinner with me at Ruffino's...surprise surprise. A HUGE bouquet of roses is delivered to our table with Blake following behind. He drops down on one knee in the middle of the restaurant and proposed. Although, he will state that it was a complete suprise to me, it wasn't. However, I've never seen him so excitedly nervous and it was the cutest thing he's ever done.

Once upon a time in a place far away blah blah... JK! I knew I loved her from the moment I met her. I had the ring and a plan...now to act on it. I got both parents permission and a decided on a spur of the moment action, because face it, when you have a joint bank account she sees everything. With all the emotions running through my head, the lines I rehearsed drew blank as I got closer...Darian Michelle Reed, will you marry me? She said YES! The expression on her face was priceless when I got down on one knee in the restaurant.
