Do you ever find it funny to hear 2 different versions of the same story? Like when one person is telling a story and another person who was there says, "What?! No! That is not what happened, you're telling it wrong!"
This happens to me and Charlie all the time. Take for example the day that he proposed to me.

| No, it wasn't this day. This was sometime in 2007. |
Let me take you back to April 19, 2006. It was a lovely, sunny, Wednesday evening. I had gotten off work and we were heading out to a nice dinner at Carabba's (an Italian restaurant). We were celebrating being together for 5 years.

| Me & Charlie June 2007 |
Charlie was in the driveway, with the hood up on his car, tinkering with the engine. I was telling him to hurry up because I wanted to go eat dinner and was tired of standing around watching him mess with his car. He finally finished and closed the hood and cleaned off his greasy hands.

And then he stood there for an awkward second and I didn't know what the heck his deal was. All of a sudden, he pulled a box out of his pocket and got down on one knee. I'm pretty sure I froze at this moment, like a deer in the headlights. And I blurted, "What are you doing?!" And he asked me to marry him. I would tell you what his exact words were, but I don't remember them because it was all such a blur and my heart was pounding and all I could think was is he really proposing to me in the driveway?! And so I just simply said, "yes." He stood up and helped me put on my engagement ring and then we went to dinner.
So romantic, right? *eyeroll*

| Feb 2011. Yes, that is our friend Gary's hand trying to pinch Charlie's nipple. That's a story for another day. And I bet I'll tell it better than he does!! |

hahaha, men! and people don´t believe me when I say that neither of us proposed. It just happened to come up in an conversation! :p Very true but they are like "did you let him off the hook that easily?" Well, it was decided in a random conversation we had and we were both happy with that! hahaha
ReplyDeleteLOL, too funny! It's still a fun story ;) I always tell the story of our engagement about how AWFUL I looked that day…. he surprised me at work and I'd woken up really late, not showered and had a greasy bun look going, lol!!
ReplyDeleteHaha I love this! We were right in the middle of moving to a different state, and I always wonder why Leo picked that exact time to propose...we were both so tired, we were almost delirious! Men...they just don't get it. Lol
ReplyDeleteMen can be so romantic...and forgetful, haha. Or whatever. I still don't know how their brain works sometimes! But as long as you're still happy with him now, that's all that matters. :)
ReplyDeleteThat's funny! My fiance proposed in my driveway too. Although he wasn't all greasy. He had it planned. It just happened to be the spot where we first kissed. I love this story though!
ReplyDeleteHahaha. Too funny! My husband proposed while we were on vacation, but about an hour before we had to leave for the airport to come back home. It still boggles my mind why he didn't do it at the beginning of the trip!
