Been exclusive with my girlfriend for a year now... Her birthday was Friday. I got a jacuzzi suite at the Drury Plaza Hotel on the Riverwalk in San Antonio.. had dinner at a local restaurant and the mariachi group sang her favorite song along with Happy Birthday. After dinner we went for a walk along the river walk. I kept looking for the perfect place to propose as it's a pretty romantic place in the evening but on Friday it was packed to the gills and every place I had in mind was just crawling with people. So we kept walking.. and walking...
We finally came to a pedestrian bridge over the river and it seemed perfect. I started my spill...."we've been going out..." and right about there I stepped on her toes...took her about a minute to regain compusure from the pain.. by that time it seemed like someone yelled "Action!" and people came out of the woodwork walking towards us, and the moment was ruined. Fortunatley I had fake proposed to her about 20 times as in "We've been going out for a year, I think its time to take it to the next level, so I have a question to ask you... do you like diet pepsi or diet coke better?"... things like that.. So we continued walking till we came to a pretty secluded spot. I figured it was now or never so I started my proposal again... she was joking around and thought I was about to fool her again.
I did the old get on one knee thing and she started to wonder if I was serious. When she saw me pull the ring out she freaked out. I asked her to marry me and she was saying "are you serious"??, is this a joke? By that time I was a little nervous this wouldn't play out all that well as it did in my head.. but she was crying and smiling and I finally said "Hey, I need an answer here" and she said "Yes, of course I'll marry you!" I put the ring on and got back up and suddenly heard clapping. I looked around and people were standing around smiling.. I had no idea anyone had walked up.
All in all it was a pretty good weekend.
