Getting Married

As some of you might know this year my boyfriend Richard has seeked my hand in marriage. And I said yes. It all started back in february when richard said to me let's go to zen gardens to celebrate our valintines day that we never had. So we went there and it was about 9:00pm we had a delicious, expensive supper and Richard wrote me a very romantic valintines card. Then we decided to go for a drive after we were done dinner. Richard has these crazy ideas some times to go on crazy road trips just out of the blue. I was a little hesitant because it was becoming past my curfew. I of course said yes and we went off. Down to niagra falls it was. I was feeling a little nervous but I really didn't think about anything huge happening because I figured by august the month before we had planned to get married he was going to propose to me with a 25 cent ring. When we got there we parked the car, it was around 11:00 at night we walked down to where the falls were and slipped and slided on the ice like we were skating. I was busy looking at the falls when we got there and Richard pulled out a black box. As soon as I saw it I knew he was going to ask me. I waited till he got down on his knee and he said tara I love you sooo much and I want to spend the rest of my life with you. This ring is a symbol of my commitment to you. well most people would probbly cry I did the complete opposite I screamed and jumped up and down in excitement and said yes to Richard. I was so happy and the ring was so beautiful I was in shock when he put it on my finger. He said Tara I stared at this ring and held it in my pocket every single night I got you this ring so that you would feel like a million dollars. And for those who know Richard that ring is not something I would expect him to buy me see because he was against diamonds and all that materialistic stuff. It's not just that he got me a diamond ring it's that he went against what he believes and made me feel like the most specialist person in the whole world. As soon as we started walking away the first person I called was Aunt Pat and told her the good news she was very excited and happy for us. The next day we headed back to london where I told everbody the good news. Jamie, Stephanie and Neil and all my friends and family were very happy. We went and showed the ring off to my Aunt and cousin Stacy. We were planning to have the wedding in september but now have changed it to next year. Haven't started planning the wedding yet waiting till sptember to figure out the date time and little things to do. Thank you for the support you've given us everybody!

Love you guys,
-Tara Phillips

Hey, you can't sign your blog post with that name yet! Ha!

And yes, I love both of you very much and I'm very happy for you. Here's a secret: Richard showed me the ring about a week before he proposed to you. You were nearby doing something else so I couldn't even get excited about it, I just had to give him a thumbs up signal. He actually had it with him on a few of your dates beforehand, he was just waiting to do something extra special with you first. And slipping around in Niagara Falls after a 'last second' road trip is great.

hey... nice to hear the whole story.
pushing back the date will give you lots of time to make sure everything's in place and prepared... :) wishing you the best :)

oh... and p.s. i wasn't at all surprised that you jumped up and down and screamed... really it wasn't hard to imagine at all. i don't know why.

:)
