The Big One

She Said YES!

or, to put it another way…

Emily and I Are Getting Married!

So, last Friday (the 29th of July), at 11pm, I said to myself “why am I still in South Bend? I could be proposing to Emily right now.” Being unable to come up with a satisfactory answer, I threw a few things in a bag, hopped in my car, and drove through the night, stopping only at McDonald’s and gas stations. (Oh, and I stopped at Meijer’s to pick up 2 dozen roses).

I arrived at Emily’s front door at 1:30 (2:30 her time) the next day (Saturday). She was planning on heading out to the library and then off to her friend Kate’s house to accompany her to a different friend’s birthday party. To keep her in her apartment until I could arrive, I enlisted the help of Rich to keep her online! I arrived seconds before she was going to leave. I knocked on the door, and presented a thoroughly flabbergasted Emily with 2 dozen roses. When we got inside, in the front hallway, I kneeled down, presented the ring, and asked her to marry me. She cried, and said yes! Then we went to her friend’s house.

The night I left, she had said over instant messenger that when I came and visited next (which was planned for two weeks time), we would need to “talk about where this relationship is headed”. After she said yes, I asked her if she was okay with where the relationship was headed. (She just smiled and cried a little more.)

So far, we’re thinking May of 2007. I’m leaning towards SB, but that far out, it may have to move.
