Sean and I had been together for a little over three years when we got engaged. Four months into our relationship I knew that he was the guy that I would one day marry. It immediately felt different than any other relationship I had ever been in, there was no comparison. Six months into our relationship we started talking about how we knew we would get married one day. Our engagement story is so special to me for so many different reasons. One reason is because I was not expecting it at all! 2015 was an extremely hard for us for many reasons. Because of 2015 not being the best we decided not getting engaged that year would be best. We wanted only happy memories associated with it.
Every year we go down to Florida for Christmas and stay for a week. On Monday December, 28th 2015 we had plans to go to lunch and then the mall to make some returns. We drove to lunch and parked the car. Then Sean said that he would like to go on a walk to see this really pretty view from a bridge. At first I didn’t want to go, I was hungry and it was hot out but I decided not to complain since he clearly wanted to see this view. We started walking and 5 minutes in I was already sweating, it was 85 + degrees out and I had black jeans on….it was fricken hot. Still decided not to complain because for some odd reason he really wanted to see this view. 15 minutes into the walk I started to ask if this view was really worth it and when we were going to be there.
We finally get to this gorgeous view (yes it was worth it) and I still had no idea that anything was going to happen. I’m walking around taking pictures and taking it all in. Sean started getting emotional….and still – I didn’t know anything was happening! Then he got done on one knee and asked the question every girl wants to hear.What’s so special to me about our engagement story was calling my parents and sister afterwards, and hearing their excitement. Then we went back to his parents house and everyone was there to congratulate us, it was a really special day.
