Our happiest moment at the "Happiest Place on Earth."
We were technically engaged in May 2009 but we didn't have the ring and he wanted to do a full blown proposal. He had designed a ring for me and was just waiting for it to be completed.
On July 31, 2009 I went to work but I was feeling really sick. I couldn't wait to get home from work at 5:30pm and go to bed. Chad sent me a text and said he was coming to pick me up for lunch that day. He took me to lunch and told me that we were going to Disneyland that night for Dinner at the Blue Bayou Restaurant. My first thought was that I still didn’t feel well then I thought that we didn't have reservations, he said that we did. My next thought was that our annual passes were blocked out so we'd have to pay extra money to get in for just a couple of hours in the park. He told me not to worry about it. All through lunch he kept looking at me so lovingly and telling me he loves me. He does this often but it seemed a little much for a casual lunch.
When I got home from work I kept saying how much I thought we should wait and go to Disneyland on another day. He kept saying he really wanted to go that night. I was so angry. I grudgingly got ready to go.
When we got to Disneyland I was joking around and said that we should go to the jewelry store on Main Street and buy some cheap Mickey Mouse ring and he could give that to me. He kept saying that he didn't like any of the rings and that we should leave the store. He also said that he thought there was a jewelry store by the castle but I knew there wasn’t so I kept trying to talk him into a cheesy ring on Main Street. Finally, after 20 minutes in the store I agreed to leave, ringless.
I had been wearing a ring that Chad gave me for my birthday on my left ring finger. He said just give me that ring and I'll do and "official" proposal with that one. We walked over to Sleeping Beauty Castle. We went over to the Snow White wising well. When the music started Chad got down on one knee and when I looked down I saw the real ring in the little black box. I totally yelled “Seriously?” He kept trying to say “I love you very, very much.” But he was so choked up that his mouth was moving but nothing was coming out. I leaned down, out my arms around his neck and said ”Baby, I can’t hear you.” He was finally able to speak and said, “I love you very, very much and I’ve waited a long time to say this to you and a long time to give this to you. I know in my heart that we are meant to be together. I want more than anything to have you as my wife.” I said, “So, what are you asking me?” He said, “Will you marry me?” I said “Abso-freakin-lutely!” Then we kissed and several people passing by said congratulations. Then he took me to fabulous dinner at the Blue Bayou where we sat right at the water’s edge. I couldn’t have dreamed of a more perfect night.
