I just have to start off by saying this story makes me look like I am spoiled and kind of a brat (my mom would probably agree). Haha.
It was Christmas morning, 2012 and we had stayed the night at Dan’s mom’s house. We made an amazing dinner with way too much food (just my style) and played Cranium until our stomach’s hurt from laughing so much the night before. Being away from home on Christmas is always hard for me so I was feeling especially grateful to have that family time with Patty, Leia and Grandma. We woke up and started handing out presents. We had made lists for each other and on mine was a choice between a new Coach purse or diamond stud earrings. I passed out all of the gifts specifically leaving my big present for last (what a spoiled, only child would do). I was convinced that it had to be the Coach purse because I did not receive the diamond earrings. I opened the last present and it was a bust of David Tennant (the 9th doctor from Doctor Who). This is particularly funny because we basically had a Doctor Who Christmas, we bought each other so much stuff from our favorite show. I am not going to lie, I was pretty upset that my new “Coach purse” was a bust, even though I love David Tennant and Doctor Who. Dan told me to open the package and when I did the Doctor had his hand reached out and on it was the most beautiful ring I have ever seen. I looked at Dan and said “What are you doing?” and to be honest the rest is a blur (Good thing Leia got it on video)! He must have asked me to marry him because I remember I screamed and started jumping up and down in disbelief. This would only happen to me! I still blame him for trying to throw me off in the first place! I am also fairly certain that I told him to ask me again just so I could remember saying “Yes”. I then proceeded to call everyone I knew. It was the best moment of my life and I still can’t believe that I am going to marry my best friend!
