It was a Wednesday evening when Ricky asked Teresa to go out to dinner on Friday for an early dinner to celebrate our 10 months together. Since we missed the celebration before. At first Teresa was quite suspicious thinking maybe the ring came in and it was time to get proposed to. But as she kept mentioning and asking to be proposed to before her Chicago trip. Ricky kept saying it probably wasnāt going to happen in time. This bummed Teresa out. Now Friday 7/29/22 Teresa asked what to wear to dinner he said what ever youād like Iām not dressing up. Therefore this made Teresa think he wasnāt going to propose there. Plus all the other days sheās been wearing dresses and going her makeup all cute.
As we drive to dinner we have a great time chatting. Get to dinner and have to wait. So we wait outside talking about how happy we are. At dinner, Teresa jokingly says ādonāt put a ring in my food I donāt want to break my teeth, he says haha no of course not I wouldnāt propose here also Iām so sorry but the ring hasnāt come I wonāt be able to propose before you leave. Teresa got freaky really sad and thought she could tell by his face that he was being truthful. Teresa is taking her time eating like normal but Ricky starts to rush her a little bit saying āoh traffic just jumped to 27 mins to 57 mins, we have to go. But Teresa wants dessert! Unfortunately itās too late and the check comes and we rush out of the restaurant to avoid the bad traffic.
They talk a little bit in the car but then Teresa gets super super tired and asks to take a little nap which worked out great because Rick ended up taking the back roads and Teresa would have gotten car sick.
As we near Teresaās house Rick nicely wakes Teresa up saying āwe are almost home but can you do me a favor and close your eyes for me?ā Of course she does. As she keeps her eyes closed he drives a little more and then parks. He says ākeep your eyes closed and hold on.ā He gets out of the car goes into the trunk and supposedly walks away. She waits patiently. After a minute or two Rick comes back helps her unbuckle and grabs her hand saying āfollow me.ā He leads her up a curb and onto the sidewalk. Sheās walking so slow in his words. He guides her to the swings and has her sit. Then says āokay open your eyes.ā She does.
Heās right in front of her. Starts to say all there cute things. (a little boy says will you push me while on the swing next to us) then in shorts kneels down in the tan bark and pulls out a ring and says āwill you marry me?ā She says āyes of course!!!ā Hugs and kisses him. (the little boy says are you done with that yet? Pointing to my swing.) He puts the ring in her finger. And then after a few minutes he takes my hand and says letās walk. We walk across the park.
As we walk we are just over the moon excited and she keeps looking at her ring. Then he says āhave you ever noticed over that hill there is a basketball hoop?ā Teresa looks over to the right and keeps looking for it squinting cause she canāt see without her glasses very easily. Finally she sees it. He pauses turns her to the left and says ābabe look.ā
When she looks she sees a white pop up tent with a Love balloon, pictures strung on the wall, pink roses, a sparkling cider bottle, and fruit bowl. It was straight out of a romance movie. She kissed him and cried. Their pictures were covering the walls. What an adorable and peaceful set up.
It was pretty amazing!!!! Canāt wait to be Mrs!
Love, T
