ANNEMARIE GETS ENGAGED:
Brett walked up to the car, opened the door, and lead me out. He handed me one more rose, the side saying WIFE? on it, towards me. He asked if I'd been keeping up with what they said during the day. Well, duh!! He then very quickly, popped down on one knee, pulled out a box, opened it, and said "So, Annemarie, will you be my wife?"
Of course I said yes...I think more than once. :)
He lead me over to the end of the walkway where he had a speaker setup and he started one of our songs "You and I", and we danced and talked. He told me that he had a few nice things that he was going to say to me when he proposed, but when he saw me get out of the car, he got too nervous and a little choked up, and decided to just go for the one line he knew he had to get out. :)
I think it was perfect. The day was a LONG one. Almost 12 hours of waiting....but Brett liked it that way. I told him that I knew as soon as I saw the roses in the morning but was anxious and excited for the rest of the day to play out and didn't want to jump to any conclusions. I loved all of the surprises during the day.
We took a few pictures at the beach. It was great that it was just him and me. We had fun sharing a little bit about our days, I begged him to tell me who his helper was, and we just laughed, smiled and loved.
