Friday was a day I will remember for the rest of my life. A day I have dreamt of since I was a little girl 36 to be swept away by Prince Channing. That day the world could have stopped turning and it wouldn' t have 37 at all.
Friday night my boyfriend proposed to me during 38 . We were at a fancy restaurant in St. Louis and everything was going 39 . The mood was romantic, the lighting perfect and the 40 was more than I expected -- way more.
When the waitress brought out our dinners, they were covered so they wouldn' t get 41She brought out his and uncovered his chicken parmesan, then 42 my "pepper - loin,"which was 43 a diamond engagement ring.
I was so surprised that my first 44 was to laugh and cry at the same time. I 45 over and hugged him and he asked me to marry him. I will never forget that 46 .
We have taken a huge 47 in our relationship. I' m still very young; I’ll be 21 next month, 48 it seems like the perfect time in my life to take everything one step further into
the 49 . There' s no need to rush though, so we are going to 50 about a year and a half to make sure we have plenty of time to get everything just the 51 we want it.
With 50 percent of marriages ending in divorce, I want to make sure we 52 our time and do things right. I have read plenty of stories about people who have gotten mala4ed for the wrong 53, and I don' t want to be another statistic.
For those who are 54 of proposing, or waiting for someone to pop the question, don' t rush it. Wait until you don' t have a 55 in your mind that he or she is the one for you. It will be very much worth your wait.
