We are engaged!
Yes. Crazy but true! Check outside, pigs might be flying. It must be cold in hell. But yes, after five years of dating, Brian finally listened to Beyonce and put a ring on it. It happened on May 6th, 2013: the five-year anniversary of "I love you" day. Brian and I said I love you to each other on May 6th, 2008 while visiting Epcot. While there, we decided to take a picture in front of every country. Dorky sure, but it was adorable. So, on May 6th, 2013 he decided we should go to Epcot again. He convinced me to take a picture in front of every country again and then convinced me to email the pics to him. I did it just to shut him up.
What I didn't know is that he was secretly sending the picture to our friend Adam who was including them in a video he had made previously. Around 7pm, he sat me down in the exact same spot he first said I love you five years ago. We sat down on the fountain directly in front of Spaceship Earth. He put headphones on me and made me watch a video on his phone. The video featured him in the spot of our first kiss telling me how much he loved me. Then a slideshow of pictures of us together started, to the tune of our song "My Funny Valentine" by Frank Sinatra. He had included the pictures from five years ago, and right after each one of those pictures was the one we had taken that very day right behind it. It was the most beautiful Before and After album I had ever seen. I was so surprised I started to cry. After all pictures were done, he came back on screen to say "Oh! And one more thing!". After that, the video was over and when I looked up from the phone, there he was, on his knee holding a ring and asking me to marry him.
And I said YES!
People clapped all around us and cheered us on. It was magical. We got a couple of "Just Engaged!" Disney buttons that we will treasure forever. We called our family and friends and they were happy for us. The drive back to Gainesville flew by as I realized...oh wow...I am going to marry the love of my life.
And I wouldn't have it any other way.

Ok, so I must be crazy, but just reading this made me cry, but they say that is the place "where dreams do come true"! What a perfect day! I am so very happy and excited for you. I know you already have a "team" of people, but if you ever need me to do anything, I would be more than willing to help out! I love party planning. However, I haven't done the wedding planning thing in 22 years now (ugh giving my age away with that). Lol I am excited about watching this unfold. :-) Joyce
