Proposal in Boston

After spending a fun and incredible day with Yannick's best friend Roberto and his fiance' Kim touring the city and laughing, Yannick and I went back to my hotel room to spend some time together on our last night of my being there in Boston.

We talked a little, cuddled a lot, and just enjoyed being with each other for the hour that he promised he'd stay before I had to take him home.

My mom called us to sing us some xmas carols during Advent, and we had fun listening to the songs in German. The family loved being able to share it with us.

About 10 minutes after we got off the phone with my mom, Yannick looked at me and told me that they have specific traditions that are supposed to be followed, but that he was going to go against one of them. The first thought that came to my mind was he was going to say he was tired, and wanted to stay over. I had come to the conclusion that he wasn't going to ask me because of how late it was, so my mind automatically thought of something different than that option.

He looked at me, and he said, "Will you marry me?" With me in his arms, I looked at him, unbelievably shocked, and said yes. We kissed a whole lot, and I started crying like a blubbering idiot. He was patient with me and supportive of my outburst of tears, and told me I looked beautiful.

We both sat there, talking, basked in happiness and bliss, and continued to take advantage of every moment we had together.

I was given my ring, beautiful, of course, and I gave him three promise rings signifying the past, present, and future, and promised to love him forever.

I still haven't stopped smiling, and am so happy!!! He's the man of my dreams, the man I know I'm supposed to be with. The one who will love and take care of me for the rest of our lives, and the one that will cherish and adore me, and only me, as long as we both shall live. I will take care of him, any moment he may need it, and will stand by his side through any trial that comes upon us. He is my rock, my soul, my heart, my everything. I love him so much.

So, point of story? I'm officially engaged!!!! Hehe.

I love you, Yannick. Thank you for giving me such an incredible gift.
