Well everyone, it is OFFICIAL! Mr Nicholas Ryan Alley and I are getting hitched!
Let’s start from the beginning… say, October 23, 2007. Were flirting online, while we were just “friends” and I asked him if he wanted a banana. He said no, but he did owe me a hug, so we joked a while about meeting up in Fadette (little town half way between Graceville and Wicksburg). We’d be “meeting in the middle.” We didn’t end up doing it because it wouldn’t be appropriate at that hour (late at night) but then he went on to tell me how he really liked me….
Now, fast forward to today, November 29, 2008
Today was our anniversary and I had to work so I was less than happy (ok, so today I was pretty pissy) and then Nick called and said his car was acting up so he needed me to meet him at the church in Fadette to follow him to Graceville. We didnt want him breaking down in the middle of nowhere…
So I drove over to Fadette to meet him and follow him. When I pulled into the church parking lot where he was waiting, he got out of his car. My thought, “Why is he getting out of his car?”
So I got out too…
He came over and gave me a hug and I asked what was wrong, he said he was frustrated with his car. So I hugged him again and then, THEN, TTTTTHHHHHEEEEEEENNNNNNNNN he began to whisper in my ear.
“A little over a year ago we talked about meeting here in the middle. I’m here to ask you today to meet me in the middle for the rest of my life” (gets down on one knee) “Brittany Janine, will you be my wife?”
IT WAS GLORIOUS! And perfect. And so sweet. And so… US!
So, wordpress world, I’m getting married to the most amazing man I’ve ever met in my life. What a way to celebrate our anniversary. Did I mention that? Today is our anniversary. Wonderful!
awww…so romantic.
