AMBER & J.D.

The Proposal

The proposal happened on Thursday June 17, 2010.  With a busy weekend ahead for both of us, JD decided to pop the question during the week since he couldn't wait any longer!

Before getting off work that day, JD told me that we were going out to dinner that night and to dress nice.  After getting home from work we got ready for the evening, and for a change I was dressed and ready to go before JD!  I was sitting on the couch, nervous and anxious because I had a feeling tonight was THE night.  JD went into the bedroom and called for me to come in there.  When I walked in JD was standing there with red roses, and of course Emery our cat was watching on the bed.  He always has to be involved in everything.  After I made a big fuss over the roses, out of nowhere JD got down on one knee and told me he had to tie his shoe!  Aw, he got me....or so I thought.  I laughed it off and expected him to get up and say "lets go eat," but he didn't get up!  He then said he loved me, pulled out a ring, and asked me to marry him!  And of course I said yes!

The night didn't end there.  We still had a surprise dinner to go to, and he would not tell me where since it was a surprise.  After navigating him to an unknown address in Downtown Raleigh, we pulled up in front of a new restaurant called "The Mint."  Pretty fancy huh?  He got his care valet parked and took me inside where we had reservations.  The place was absolutely gorgeous and the most romantic place I had ever been to.  The food was absolutely fantastic and me and JD had a very romantic time.

JD's original plan was to pop the question AFTER dinner, but he knew I was very nervous, and he was just way too excited to hold off any longer.  It was the most perfect night ever!
