Bam! Fast forward 10 years, just another Sunday funday at church (or so I thought) with our 4 year old daughter and 8 month old son. After communion, he disappeared for a few minutes.. I thought he was praying, when he was really getting the ring out of the car. After church we would always say a prayer at the Mary statue outside. We were both praying until he says my name and I turn around to him holding the ring and he says Bitty, will you marry me?!? Of course I teared up and said, “Of course I will!!!” He gave me my ring and then turned to our daughter and said, “How about you my sweet little angel?” and gave her a little “engagement” ring. To this day she tells the story of how daddy “engaged us both” and how I use HER ring box because he didn't get me a ring box, only her! While my board on pinterest shows much interest in weddings and anything bridal, we just haven’t had the opportunity to actually do much as far as actually booking or purchasing anything, etc. We’ve just had so much going on, now having the three kids since being engaged and honestly, knowing he loves me enough to WANT to marry me, since he takes those vows very seriously, (I mean really we’ve only been together 12 years now!) that’s good enough for me, the wedding is the icing on the cake. But with kids, the wedding saving and planning have been put on the back burner. but we know how much we love each other and that we want to get married and that’s what matters most to us! What can I say, when ya know, ya know... 12 years and 3 kids later!
