After a long Friday at work, I stopped to buy some wine and hurried to the apartment to clean up because Tom's best friend Eric and his fiancée Christine were coming over before we headed out to dinner...or so I thought this was what was happening.
As I made my way up the five flights
of stairs in our apartment building and opened the door I was greeted
with a bouquet of gorgeous roses. I hurriedly said thank you and
continued trying to get by so I could get the apartment in order...Tom
started to hug me and said how I am his everything and that he is going to
spend the rest of his life we me. The next thing I knew, he was down
on one knee holding out the most stunning ring I have ever seen.
I was in complete shock as he asked, "Will you marry me"?
Without knowing what I was saying, I kept repeating, "Baby, what
are you doing? Baby, what are you doing"? I was so thrown off
(it was Friday after work and inside our front door) and I finally
realized what was happening and I said, "YES"! After some tears
and many kisses Tom said that our parents were waiting for our call.
He lead me back to the bedroom and as I opened the door...my parents, brother,
and Tom's parents were all hiding in the room. I again burst into
tears; my parents live in FL and my brother, Trey, lives in TX. Tom
had arranged to get them to fly in and surprise me. It was so
wonderful to share that moment with them and with Tom's parents. It
couldn't have been more perfect!
We toasted champagne and headed
out to dinner. After dinner, we went to get one more celebratory
drink. As we got into the bar I tried to go to the right where it was
less crowded, but Tom kept veering me towards the left. I even said,
"Tom, it's crowded over there and our parents are with us".
Just then I looked at the crowd and realized it was a lot of our friends
and family. I was again, completely surprised and cried for the
third time of the night! We continued the night celebrating with the
people who mean the most to us! It was the best night of my life...only
to be top by our wedding day!!!
Congratulations to the sweet couple!
