It is time to pop the question. You are excited. She is excited even if she does not know what is coming. She just thinks that you are going on a trip to commemorate your anniversary. It has been a long and exciting ride to be her admirer from afar, a suitor in intense pursuit, an always available companion in hair-raising activities, and a steadfast boyfriend in the ups and downs of life. She is the perfect partner for you and you know it. When you finally faced the truth and realized that your bright future lies in the hands of a dreamer, you chose a ring with a rock on it among an assortment of chocolate diamond rings to keep her more grounded to the earth and to you. You want to give her the gift of yourself to hold on to forever.
You did not know what you were getting into when you first asked her out. She appeared like any other girl in her business suit and glasses but the woman in the office is a far cry from the little girl at heart that she truly is. For your first date, she took you to a mystery dinner theater instead of the gourmet restaurant with a week-long waiting list. For your first out of town trip, you went to a civil war reenactment and donned a colonial uniform for posterity. She brought you out of your shell amidst the booming of fake cannons. You were torn between choosing from the assortment of chocolate or pink diamond engagement rings. Eventually, you went with your gut. This time tomorrow, you are one step closer to making her your wife.
