Would you believe the love of my life asked me to marry him on the phone? It went a little something like this:
Amber: Hello?
Justin: (choking and clearing throat) Yeah hi. Ummm. I love you and I can't live without you. Wanna get married?
Amber: Well....yes.
Justin: Great!
This worked for me for a few reasons. One, it was so lame that it was funny. Two, it was unique. And three, it was Justin.
This was probably the beginning of my realization that all the romantic fantasies you build up as a kid, that you see on movies, or imagine you see in real life, are farce. And this fact didn't bother me. Because I knew I would be happy. And you know what? I was right.

Lol, I love it! I'm so happy you've decided to keep this blog up. It helps us all to remember and heal.
ReplyDeleteI love sister.
That's so adorable! I think mine was a little something like that, too, but in person. There was no proposal written in the sand, no ad in the newspaper, etc. I picked out my own ring.
ReplyDeleteThat worked for me, too, 'cause we were simple people in love and that was the only thing that mattered.
Thanks for sharing, Amber.
I love it! It is important to remember the good memories we have of our loved one. Thought I would share mine because it will make you laugh. My hubby had been showing everyone that night the ring except me, kinda of torturing me with it. Suprised aren't you. So we were at someones house when he decided to go the bathroom to get up the courage to actually ask me. He came out on his knees, came over to me and asked " Would you be my wife?" And my response? I broke into histarical laughter. Oh yes I did! He looked at me with a puzzled look and said "Well what does that mean?" Of course I said yes.
ReplyDeletePeggy I love it!
