I can hear the Bells...

On Sunday September 20th, Jeremy proposed to me. *Does happy dance*
Most people would think we've been moving at light speed. But when you know, you know! Things have been amazing & I can honestly say that I knew from the 1st date that he was the man I was suppose to be with.
The second time around is so much better! We're not going to rush getting married. I refuse to be "Bridezilla". I want to actually enjoy the fact that I get to marry the man of my dreams!
But I shall dish the dirt on the proposal. =)
We had been talking about marriage & all that jazz for a while. The weekend before while we were at the mall, Brycen *Jeremy's son* & I had been window shopping. And I kind of pointed out a ring that I thought was nice. Not my fave, but it was okay. Jeremy had the ring that he proposed to his ex with, & I had seen it before. And from the second I saw it I fell in love with it. She never really liked it or even wore it. Which killed me.
But on the 19th, we went to the same mall, and I went to get some candy & he went to the "bathroom".
He came back all excited after he took FOREVER. But said he couldn't tell me why he was excited. But when we got home he started taking pictures of the engagement ring & started planning on selling it on craigslist. I just pouted coloring trying not to look at the ring too much, cause it killed me to see it. I really LOVED it! It seriously was a dream engagement ring in my opinion!
I happened to look at the receipt from the ring & saw that he had bought it from the very jewelry store that my adopted mom works at. So I looked even closer & saw that there was the associate that helped him was my mom! He purchased the ring 3 years ago, from my mom! So we both thought it was very weird.
But the following morning I looked at the ring & he noticed the sad look on my face & asked would it bother me to have that ring. Instantly I said no, it was just too weird that my mom was the one who helped him at the store & I LOVED it! Then he got on one knee & asked me to marry him *SWOON*
Not your normal proposal, but we're not your normal couple either. It was a perfect proposal in my book.
Jeremy was having issue with the fact that he gave me the old ring, & I did feel a bit bad. But our neighbor, whom is wise in her years. Told us that the ring doesn't come with the woman, it comes with the man. He has to find the perfect woman for it. Which totally hit a cord with us. Since his ex didn't even like the ring, & I loved it from the second I saw it! =)
I can't wait to be his wife & am honored to be the one who gets the ring.
