Engagement

So, Emmett and I went and checked out wedding rings the week before Thanksgiving. When asked what kind of rings do I like, I responded with well I have no idea. I showed him what I liked, but refused to be a part of the whole buying process. That was for him to take care of. I was pretty sure one was bought, but I had no idea what his plan was and there was no way he was going to be able to pick it up before going to the Oregon coast for Thanksgiving so I gave up on the thought of being proposed to on the beach.

We arrived at Cannon Beach Thanksgiving day and went all over the beach and town. We took a drive down to Tillamook Friday and wandered the streets of Seaside. I had a blast with him without suspecting a thing. Saturday rolled along and my aunt, uncle (who graciously invited us to the condo on the beach), and mom decided it would be fun to do some pictures of us at Hug Point down the road. So off we went to go do that. It was gorgeous that day and we did our pictures and wandered the beach some more. The rest of the family went their own way and Emmett and I climbed up into a cove to get out of the wind for a bit. I didn't suspect a thing until 2minutes before when he got really nervous. I kept looking at him like what the hell is wrong with you? Finally he got down on his knee and asked me to marry him. Of course I said yes and the ring was beautiful! I really appreciated him not asking me in front of the crowd where we did pictures and waiting for a moment when my family wasn't around. It was just the two of us and it was great! Come to find out, he ran straight from work to pick up the ring the night before we left and carried in his jacket pocket the whole weekend without me even suspecting it! I didn't notice him making me walk on his right side only and him guarding his jacket pocket.

Now I did ask him why he got so nervous if he knew the answer already. It was due to him wanting to be sure it was the perfect time and a little romantic. It was cute. He wanted to do it on a night walk but wasn't sure how the weather was going to be and then it dawned on him that I wouldn't be able to see the ring at night which finalized his descision. He did a great job and it will be a great memory!
