I was positive that there was no way it would happen at the beach, but it did!!!
It took us 15 hours to drive from Youngstown, OH to Surfside Beach, SC. Every time we would stop at a rest stop, my fiance (yay!) would check his pockets a few times before getting back in the car. I kept asking him what he was looking for, but when he said he just wanted to make sure he still had his wallet and phone and I was none the wiser
It rained the whole way down and was still raining when we got to the beach. The rest of fi''s family was already there (they all broke the trip up into 2 days) and unpacked so we unpacked instead of heading to the beach immediately since it was still raining.
When it finally stopped raining, fi asked me if I wanted to take a walk on the beach. It was late afternoon and we decided to walk to the pier. We walked down and on the way back I asked him if he thought that he would ask me on the beach (not meaning during this trip since I was 100% sure it wouldn''t be then) and he refused to answer! How I didn''t put 2 and 2 together, I don''t know, but I was still clueless. He was being really sweet on our walk, but eventually we were back at the beach house and hanging out with his family again.
A few hours later he asked if I wanted to go sit in the sand with him. We went outside and I sat down in between his legs with my back against his stomach and his arms around me. He started saying really romantic things. He told me that he thinks I''m really beautiful and that he was trying to come up with a picture in his head that was as beautiful me, but he couldn''t. The closest thing he could think of was the beach and then he started reaching in his pocket. He asked if I knew what he was getting, but I was still so confused! I asked if he had a picture in his pocket
He opened the box, took out the ring (good thing I picked it out because at this point it was dark and I really couldn''t see it) and said "Will you be my wife?"
I felt like I was in a dream world! I said yes, he put it on, and we stayed sitting in the sand hugging and kissing eachother for probably a half an hour.
Finally we decided that it was time to go tell his family. Fi has a very large family and they were all there filling 3 beach houses. Everyone wasn''t together in one at the time, so we got to make the announcement a few times! Everyone was so excited and we got to do a toast with everyone!
It was perfect! The proposal was on the beach just the two of us, but we didn''t have to wait to tell anyone or show off the ring! I''m so happy and so in love! yay!!! And I got to be in the family pictures!!! We even got engagement pictures taken at the same time.
Fi drove me to 4 different stores to find bridal magazines for the ride home today. How amazing is he??? (And what''s wrong with SC that all stores don''t have them???) I can''t believe I get to marry the perfect guy!!!
And now for the pics:
