Proposal Story

I knew pretty early on that Angie was the one. So when Valentine’s Day rolled around, just a day after my birthday, I knew there was no better time to propose. After all, she’s the best gift I’ve ever received.

That day, we were in Old Town San Diego. I had spent the morning scouting for the perfect spot to propose…something quiet, charming, and meaningful. I thought I had found it. But like most good stories, things didn’t go exactly according to plan.

We had a sip-and-paint date scheduled, and after we finished, I suggested we go back to Old Town. Angie wasn’t too convinced! she pointed out that most shops would be closed by then, and honestly, it was getting late. So that plan slipped away.

Then came dinner. I considered proposing at the restaurant, but it was too loud, too crowded. Not the moment I wanted to remember forever. I started to wonder where was I going to do this? After dinner, I suggested a walk by the beach. Angie hesitated again...it was cold out, and she wasn’t exactly thrilled about a chilly stroll after a long day. Still, we drove to the pier, and when we got there, she said, “It’s too cold. I’ll watch you walk from the car.”

I stepped out, heart pounding. I glanced back at her, still in the passenger seat. A part of me panicked! was she going to get out? Midnight was creeping closer, and I was determined to propose before Valentine’s Day ended. Finally, she stepped out of the car!!!!!

I looked at her and said, “You probably thought you weren’t going to get your Valentine’s gift today... but here it is.” And right there, under the stars and ocean breeze, I got down on one knee and asked, “Will you marry me?” She said yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So if you ever catch me staring off into the distance, just like I was the day Angie first met me…now you’ll know what I’m thinking: I’m lucky to have her...
