It was the day after Thanksgiving Friday, November 24, 2006.
We were supposed to wake up before the break of dawn to shop
for all the great deals the stores were having for the holidays, of course
that never happened. We did get some shopping done but headed back
 to the house since we had guest coming over and I had to start cooking
 for my family party the next day. David had suggested we should go out
for dinner. At first I was hesitant but he was pretty persistent and argued
 the fact that we needed to make up for our "monthly date night" and that
 we haven't been spending that much time together, with an argument like
that, how can I say no?
      We decided to have dinner at Mario's that night. When the waiter
 showed us to our table, David was a little upset that we were sitting by
the kitchen. I thought it was a little peculiar that he was upset with the  
seating arrangements but just figured he was tired since it was 9:00pm.
He eventually requested to the waiter to move our seats to a better location.  
During dinner David was acting strange, wanting to talk serious about our
 relationship. Since we're always sarcastic with each other, I pretty much
ruined what he wanted to say.
     When it came to ordering dessert, he offered to order for us, while I
ran to the ladies room. I thought he ordered us a chocolate mousse to
share and two cups of coffee. As I picked up the spoon to take a scoop,
 I realized it looked funny. The restaurant was heavily dimmed so it took
awhile for my eyes to focus on what was in front of me, when I finally
realized what was sitting in front of me I got scared and nervous. When
 I opened the box, I just began to cry. There in front of me was the most
 STUNNING and AMAZING ring. I couldn't even see David in front of
 me because I was crying so much. I hid my face in the napkin so that no
 one else would see me cry. David had to request that I remove the napkin
 from my face so that he can ask me the most important question- Will You
Marry Me? Through my swollen eyes and tears running down my face,
 I said yes!
           I still get teary eye every time I think about that night.

     I guess everyone is looking for my version of what happened
that night. Well let me say that much of what Jen said was correct
but, let me give you  some details she left out. Originally the proposal
was to take place in Vegas, but I had a feeling that she new I was
 planning to ask her there. So I decided to do it after Thanksgiving,
this way she would not be expecting it. I set up everything two
days prior to asking her. I was a bit upset when we were at the
restaurant,  I had originally asked them to seat us in the back room,
but it seems that my request was denied or ignored so not to make
things worse I just went with the flow.
        As we were having dinner, I was trying to find the right moment
 to give her the ring. As we were having dinner I kept thinking hope
she goes to the bathroom. Well finally she excused herself to go to
the restroom, I found my time. I called the waiter over and explained
 to him that I would like the ring to be brought out as if it was the
 actual desert. Well when the waiter brought out the dish I couldn't
 be more satisfied. The ring was left in it's black ring box and could
not have been any more perfect, this made the whole thing look as if
it was part of the dessert. When Jen grabbed her spoon and tried to
scoop the desert, well what she thought was dessert and realized that
 it was hard, she took a closer look and began to freak out. I was
cracking up, I thought that this could not have been any more priceless.
 Her freaking out went on for about what seemed to be an eternity
 (lol really about 2 minutes) I finally got her to look at me so I can
ask her the BIG question. Well as you already know the answer,
 I don't need to go into it any further.
       I will say this I 'm glad that I didn't ask her in Vegas I don't
 know if I would have received the same reaction. I wouldn't trade
 it in for anything.
