Sorry it took a few days to update. I ended up with the stomach flu, but such is life.

After talking with him one more time to see if he was still wanting to marry me I ended up going out and getting a ring I knew he would like and put it on my credit card. It wasn’t too expensive so I can have it payed off in about 2 months.

I took him to the park where we had our first date, got on one knee and asked him to marry me. It was perfect because no one was around and he doesn’t like doing stuff like that in front of people. He told me yes! It’s funny, he said he was going to propose to me after we moved and I had beat him to it. Afterwards I took him to his favorite restaurant, which was easy because he doesn’t like fancy food and there’s never a wait.

We had the “so how are we telling people” talk, and decided with how our families are it would be better to just send a text. My family, other than my older sister, seems to be on board. His family won’t really acknowledge we’re engaged except for his older sister. But we’re both okay with how it turned out because we didn’t have high expectations from them.

The wedding is still a good few years away, but we’re planning on what we want. His friends are really excited and have started sending decoration ideas. My younger sister is losing her mind with excitement and even offered to tattoo our wedding rings for free, but I think that should be a few anniversaries down the line.

All in all, the proposal went really well and we’re both extremely excited to be in this new chapter of our lives.

Thank you! And thanks for the support! I was starting to chicken out again but I’m glad I went through with it.
