Saturday March 7, 2015….
This was the date I decided on for celebrating my BIG 30th birthday party. As many of you know, I am a huge DIY craft girl, so I couldn’t wait to plan, decorate, and make this birthday just absolutely SPECTACULAR!
I had the theme – Farewell to my Roaring 20’s – and I had the colors scheme – gold and black – and I had the décor, and party favors, and booze… The only thing I did NOT have was enough common sense to ask for help setting up on the day of this big, spectacular event of mine!
So there I was sweatin up a storm as I was rolling out tables and chairs, decorating, putting out centerpieces & candles, and making batches of themed liquor drinks (because what party is complete without batches of themed liquor drinks, right?!) LOL
Thankfully though, it did turn out quite nice with the help of my mom, and Brian of course, who came a few hours early to help relieve some stress of mine.
Once the party got going, it was quite a big hit! I got to see friends I haven’t seen in years. I got to take pictures, laugh and drink, and spend time with my family. It was truly such an amazing night.
I had no idea that it was going to get even more amazing when Brian asked me to dance with him.
I remember dancing with him and just feeling so blessed and happy that everything turned out so great. I remember thinking how lucky I was to have such a wonderful man by my side. I was just staring at Brian and I couldn’t stop smiling. And then he whispered in my ear “I have a surprise for you…” He then proceeded to kiss me and tell me that the diamond earrings he bought a few weeks back were not the present he really wanted to get me for my birthday; he wanted to get me something even more memorable than that. Then he whispered to me, “I want to marry you…”
I’m pretty sure my heart stopped at that moment in time… I have dreamt about this moment for years and years, and I thought that I would be more prepared for it than I was. But I wasn’t. Because as he got down on one knee and actually said the words “WILL YOU MARRY ME?” I just stood there, shocked, for what seemed like an eternity, until I could finally find enough air to get out the word “DUH!” Yes, the word DUH was all I could seem to get out before tears of joy just came streaming down my face.
After that it was a bit of a blur. It’s hard to get your heart to start beating again after a moment like that. He really did take my breath away.
Of course the ring was absolutely perfect, and everyone was hugging us and congradulating us and just making this night even more perfect than it already was. I was surrounded by all my most favorite people!
And to top it all of (YES, THERE IS MORE!) … I found out that Brian went to ask my mom for her blessing beforehand. He even asked each and every one of my brothers (all FIVE of them) for their approvals as well. It’s moments like this that make me wish so bad that my daddy were here to meet this incredible man that I have found, but I have to know that he’s looking down from heaven and just smiling with joy. His baby girl has found the most amazing man to spend her life with. He would be so proud :-)
I am beyond excited to start this journey with such an incredible man! 3-7-2015 will definitely be a day that I will always remember & cherish thanks to Brian Weeks - I love you!! |
