An Engagement to Remember
Chris and I met in college. We actually had our first class at Berkeley College together. It was called computer essentials. Pretty crazy right? We sat next to each other. Little did I know, I was sitting next to my future husband.
After asking me on February 2, 2007, for the 7th time I might add (I had just gotten out of a terrible relationship and I was petrified to get involved like that with someone) Chris and I have been inseparable.
We've had our fair share of hard times and made a lot of stupid decisions, but when it all comes down to it, we love it's other so much. The only time we really broke up was for a couple of months in 2009. Things we'd like to look back on and forget..
Nevertheless, we have prevailed!
In January 2012, Chris had planned a whole surprise trip to Disney for us. However, for most of December & January I was extremely sick. I spent most of the time in a hospital actually. Chris went crazy not knowing whether or not he should propose to me at the hospital, as the week before we were supposed to leave, I got admitted and had to go on very strong medicine. I was in the hospital for 6 days. Everyone in my family was in on the plan and told Chris that he still should bring me to Disney if my doctor's cleared me to go.
After a horrible hospital stay, Chris whisked me off to Florida on January 29th, 2012. (Disney is truly the best medicine!)
Anyway, when we arrived at Disney's Boardwalk - we were immediately directed over to the "Concierge" desk who brought us up an elevator and around to the "Club Level" floor. If someone could have been filming it, I am sure they would be laughing because entire this entire time, I was in complete and utter shock. I just kept looking and Chris saying, "What did you do?" Haha
Little did I know, he had booked a 1 bedroom villa for us to stay in. It was 2 FLOORS!! It was simply amazing. I literally started crying when we got there. I couldn't believe that a day before I had been in a hospital bed and now here I was in Disney World in this amazingly beautiful room.
I still don't know how he kept that a secret from me!
Moving on. That night, Chris & I went off the Magic Kingdom. It's my absolute favorite park. We walked down Main Street. Took some pictures. Went on Pirates, the Haunted Mansion. The whole time we were walking around, Chris was on his phone texting. I just kept asking him if everything was ok and who was he texting and he would just say, "my mom."
After going on the Haunted Mansion it was pretty dark out now and the castle was lit up a beautiful pink. Chris grabbed my hand and said, "Let's go take pictures in front of the Castle." We rushed over and found a photopass person right in front of the castle. I handed her my camera and photopass card (do they have those anymore?) and I went to go stand in front of the camera. Chris stayed behind, whispering something in the photographer's ear. He then walked over to me, shaking like a leaf!
I asked him what was wrong, truly thinking he didn't feel well! He then just said, "I have something to ask you." He was still shaking. I just kept saying "what, what, are you ok?" Two seconds later, Chris got down on one knee and asked me MARRY HIM!
I stood there for a minute in complete and utter SHOCK! I literally could not speak. Chris looked up at me and said, "Are you going to answer?" Shaking off my shock, I said "Of course!" He slipped my beautiful engagement ring on finger and then I started shaking! It was so magical and perfect. I will never forget it for as long as I live.
Unbeknownst to me, Chris's original plan was to propose to me by the Wishing Well in Magic Kingdom. The night we got there, that he actually did propose, was the only night of our entire trip that this small part of the kingdom was closed off for construction. He had been texting my sister because he was freaking OUT because he didn't know what to do!
But what's to be will be, and I will NEVER forget that day or our vacation for as long as I live. <3
