Proposal

Christmas is such a joyous time of year, children playing and laughing so excited to open their presents, family coming together to spend this amazing day together, food ready to dig into! Well my Christmas of 2014 was the most amazing one I had yet, it is my fiancés favorite holiday, and the day he proposed to me! I remember like it was yesterday, he stood there before anyone opened presents, told me how much he loved me & how he wanted to spend the rest of his life with me & our unborn son Noah. He started to get a lump in his throat and I seen a few tears, he got down on one knee and presented to me a beautiful wedding ring, his hands were so shaky I had to calm his hand so he could get the ring on my finger, it is an heirloom inherited from his Grandmother who passed on. I was so happy I started to cry and my mascara ran down my face, he hugged me and I knew from that moment on, our life together as a family would be the most amazing adventure and blessing I could ever ask for. After I said “Yes” I could hear my mother and family in the background crying their eyes out! It was so beautiful and heartfelt. I love my fiancé, thank you!
