| So here's what really happened.
Literally the night we got home from talking to Jess's family about our wishes, I ordered the ring, that had already been picked out. As soon as I saw it, I knew it was the one. Fast forward to my birthday (and the above story) and the ring is here. I'm at school freaking out (I don't handle my emotions well... big surprise). My teammates send me home to get the slip from the door, I call FedEx, and make plans to pick up the ring that night before rehearsal, having totally thrown Jessica off my trail. At this point, EVERYONE knows... I texted all her ladies of honor, and they were all in on it. So, rehearsal is over, and I come inside to let the dogs out. Outside, I put the a sign on Gus that said "Will you give my daddy the best birthday present ever?" and had him go back inside. He's pretty much the cutest puppy you've ever seen in your life, so I knew it was going to work. He comes over, hops up on her, she reads the sign, still very confused. By the time Jess was done reading the note, I was already on my knee with the ring open. *SIDENOTE* the company I bought the ring from has the coolest ring boxes ever with a built in light, so that little sucker was sparkling like crazy. I'm not quite sure how to describe her reaction. There were gasps, squeals, and many tears. I had to repeat myself, because she was sobbing too loud. She said yes, and it really was the best birthday present I could have hoped for... |
