Our Proposal!
_Well, let me just say I was COMPLETELY dumbfounded. I had NO idea!!
It was the weekend of Bikes, Blues and BBQ, a huge motorcycle rally in
Northwest Arkansas. Austin's parents wanted to come, so we set it up
where they could ride with us and stay at my parents house that weekend.
Little did I know they were coming because he was proposing! The
first day that we were there, Austin took his dad in my dad's
convertible (which he drives all the time when we go up there) to my
dad's work to look at my dad's business. Nothing weird about that.
Little did I know, he was asking my dad for his blessing!
He had mentioned earlier in the week before we came to Fayetteville he had wanted to go see the chapel where I wanted to get married. He had mentioned it before so I thought it was a little weird but didn't think anything of it. That day he brought it up again, so I just said okay and off we went, to Chapel on the Creeks. I've wanted to get married there since I've known about the chapel. I honestly thought he just wanted to see the chapel. We went inside, looked around, went outside, looked around, and went back inside. I looked once more towards the front... He asked how much I loved it. I told him of course I loved it, I had for forever. I turned around and he asked if I wanted to get married there... to HIM! And then he reached in his pocket and knelt down. I instantly put my hand over my mouth and started bawling. I couldn't even speak, I just held out my hand.
Little did I know, EVERYONE knew about it except me. He had had the ring of my dreams for over a month.
