Well fans and friends...I'm engaged!!! Whooo hoooo! Finally. I was never the girl who dreamed of my wedding day. Long long ago I had my heart broken so many times I decided (and revolted) this day would never come.
But it did. I met the man of my dreams. I realize how corny that sounds but what's even more cheeseball-ish is that it's true. I remember being in my church youth group and we were told to write a description of the guy we wanted to marry. I wrote down a ridiculous list of characteristics and qualities that NO man could ever possess. Imagine my surprise when 12 years later I met him. Really, God? You made me wait such a long time, but I can say it was worth the wait.
So...back to the day. Jeremie surprised me with a "Pack your bags, I have a surprise for you." I packed a bag and Jeremie pulled into the Peachtree Plaza Hotel.
Now....a little bit of a back story. I am a nosy gal. I overheard J on the phone a couple of weeks prior saying "Yeah I got the ring...planning on proposing in 3 weeks." I paused the TV and listened in the hallway and then proceeded to call one of my best friends and confess.
So...I knew he had SOMETHING planned when the valet took his car away. He tells me to get dressed and we will have drinks at the Sundial. And drinks we had. It was so nice. He then tells me that we will probably order room service for dinner....me, being the brat that I am, I thought 'room service, really?' We go downstairs heading back to the room and stumble to the hostess stand. "Mr. Day...reservations for 8:00?" Ahhhh....I see what's happening. We have a fabulous dinner ---which consisted of the waiter telling us that the menu items had only been on the menu for 3 days and he wanted our feedback. We granted him his wish, acting like food connoisseurs. Soon dinner was over and no dessert! I was sure he would have the ring with dessert.
On the way out of the restaurant, we stopped at the restroom, which happened to be on the observation deck. Because the restaurant is circular and rotating my sense of direction was askew all night, so I didn't even notice that Jeremie led me in the opposite direction of the exit. As we walked, he drew my attention to a small secluded bay overlooking the city with a rose petal and candlelit table. The waitress brought the dessert and an opened box sat on top of a piece of chocolate cake. Now, I was expecting this the entire night, but when I saw it, I couldn't believe how surprised I was!? Of course tears immediately came at the sight of this perfect ring. Jeremie got on one knee and did the whole deal. I was expecting a speech from this guy but he simply asked, "Stacy, will you marry me?" Between tears I said "Yes, of course I will."
Oh what a night. This man is just so....perfect for me. I've never been happier.
Wedding will be in May 2011. Plans, plans, plans. I shall keep you updated with my bridezilla behavior. Hopefully not. We shall see.
