 Mike and I met on December 23th, 2005...he likes to say I was his "Christmas Present." After our first date at Bahama Breeze, we quickly became an item and were inseparable. After six months of dating we moved in together and started a new life together.
Two years after the anniversary of the night we first met, Mike decided to make it official. He took me down to the Philadelphia Museum of Art and we spent a fun day walking around. While we were in the museum- Mike asked me to hold onto my "present" which he was going to give me later, in my purse. I was told "not to peak!" I really had no idea what the real present was....and spent the whole time walking around wondering what it could be? A pair of earrings, or possibly a nice necklace? Unfortunately I had to wait to see my wonderful surprise.
After we had finished at the museum - Mike took me to Waterworks Restaurant. I really was excited to be there. The restaurant was truly beautiful. It overlooked the river and was so nice inside. We were even lucky enough to be there on a night that there was a lovely singer and guitarist serenading the guest with Christmas music.
Throughout the meal I started to wonder if my gift was a little more then I thought it was...Mike seemed a little nervous and he kept saying "sentimental things". We began to eat our appetizer and my stomach became filled with butterflys! After our salad plates were cleared Mike started to clear his throat and look deeply into my eyes. I could feel my eyes start to fill with tears of happiness....suddenly a thought ran through my head saying..."don’t cry silly, you don’t even know if this is what you think it is!" I quickly tried to distract myself and not get my hopes up. Luckily by the end of the meal - all my dreams came true. Mike proposed to me with a beautiful shiny ring and asked me to spend my life with him. Now it was my time to cry tears of happiness...and yelp "Yes".
Ever since that day...each day has been a whirlwind! We are so excited to be planning our wedding and cannot wait for the day we finally get to become man and wife and vow to spend the rest of our lives together.
