that evening, we went to a cute, texasy restaurant. it was very quaint. i thought for sure it was going to happen at dinner. what a perfect place to get engaged! but, dinner had come and gone and still no ring. i really thought that if he was going to propose on our little trip, he would have done it at dinner. i left dinner disappointed and figured adam had planned the trip to throw me off. 
that evening, we went back to our room and i thought, "well since today's not the day i might as well get comfortable and i put some comfy clothes on." adam told me to sit down with him on the couch to see something. he had made a scrapbook about every single date we had gone on. i couldn't believe it! i didn't know a guy would sit down and take the time to scrapbook! and, how did he do it? afterall, he had been working fulltime and getting his mba at night. when he wasn't at school or work, he was with me. about half way through, adam started to get nervous. at this point, i realized today really was the day that i would be proposed to. adam kept on going through the rest of the scrapbook describing every detail...i was so antsy and was just thinking, "when is he going to ask me to marry him?" at the end of the scrapbook, he had a nice letter written to me about how the story of our lives together in the scrapbook was just the beginning and how he couldn't wait to spend the rest of his life with me and continue our story together. 
as they say, the rest is history. we had our dream wedding 5 months later and have been married for about 2 years. truthfully, the best decision i made was saying yes that night. i couldn't have asked for a better partner to join me on this rollercoaster called life. someone who is considerate, thoughtful, is family-oriented and has good values. so lucky-n-love.

Stopping by from Kelly's Korner. My husband and I met on Match over 5 years ago and we got married on May 22nd. I agree--it does work! We knew about a year into the relationship that we would be together forever, but we were in no hurry to get married. But now we are and all is good! : )
Stopping from Kelly's Korner as well. My husband and I met on Match and have been married four years on July 15. It may not work for everyone, but it worked for us! :-)
