My Proposal Story
Most girls would think a proposal while out fishing on a boat is not very romantic, but it was for me. Justin was complaining all day Saturday because the weather was "perfect for fishing" and how we "should've gone today." Well we had planned to go that Sunday and it was too late to go on Saturday. Justin was worried that the weather would be bad on Sunday, but as it turned out, it was a beautiful sunny day. We got an early start and went to our favorite lake. We tried out a new spot but only snagged one fish. We decided to move to our "honey spot" and try there. A few minutes after we arrived, Justin came up to me and said he hadn't been completely honest with me lately. I thought "Oh My God! What has he done?!" He proceded to say that he'd been thinking about our relationship. Thinking what?! Did I really want to know? Then he light heartedly told me he had found a washer in his pocket. I thought, "How cute! He's gonna give me a washer!" There was a joke between us about me wanting a "precious piece of circular metal" and him giving me a "stainless steel washer." Well I thought this was all part of the joke. When he looked in his pocket for the washer, it wasn't there. He thought he had dropped it. Well, I didn't want to spoil his joke so I tried to help him find it. I ended up crawling around on the boat floor looking for the washer. I figured Justin was doing the same. Then he said, "Perhaps you'll prefer this one." I sat back and kneeling on one knee before me was Justin with an open ring box in his hand. I immediately went into shock, then the tears started pouring out. After I cried for awhile, he asked me, "Is that a yes?" I lunged at him, grabbed him in a tight hug around his neck and shouted, "YES, YES, YES!" I'll never forget that day as long as I live!
