Here’s the story she told us: “My boyfriend and I had been dating for almost 10 months when I had to travel to New York for a conference. While I was away, he told me that he was going over to my parents’ house to ask them if I could move in with him. (My family is very conservative, you see). I called him later that night, and he told me that it went very badly, that my father got angry and kicked him out of the house. I felt so bad that I had pressured him to go and ask my parents…I started crying and felt miserable the rest of the night. When I got back from NY, I didn’t bring up the issue with my parents, feeling that it was probably best if we just forgot about the whole thing.
A couple of weeks later, Bryan woke me up at 5:00 in the morning. “We’re going to the beach to watch the sunrise” he said. I thought it was a sweet idea (it was one of the first dates he ever took me on), and agreed to go. We were on our way to the beach when Bryan took a wrong turn. He was getting all upset over it, and I told him that it didn’t matter if we missed the sunrise, it was just fun being with him. Finally, we got to the beach and watched the sun rise. As the sun was rising, Bryan said “You know, when I asked your dad if you could move in with me, he was only mad for about 30 seconds…” I looked at him, perplexed. He continued: “…because I didn’t ask him if you could move in with me.” At that moment he got down on one knee and asked me if I would marry him. He hadn’t asked my parents if I could move in with him at all…he spent that evening at my parents house asking them if he could ask me to marry him. We’re planning on getting married in October…and I’ll always be his prisoner of love.”
Awwwww….
