Nachi's pointless rants and recollections

"Romeo save me I've been feeling so alone
I keep waiting for you but you never come
Is this in my head? I don't know what to think
He knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring

And said, marry me Juliet
You'll never have to be alone
I love you and that's all I really know
I talked to your dad, go pick out a white dress
It's a love story baby just say yes"

Yes, you read right. We proposed!
Wait, what?

Our relationship has never been a traditional one. As soon as we met we were together, and just short after we decided to move in together.
We've been together for seven years now and marriage seems like a formality.
We love each other and we want to be together until life decides we've had enough.
But, in my heart, I'm still just a girl who has had from time to time the illusion of a wedding, walking down the isle until I see him, my true love.
Then we look into each other's eyes and swear to be together until the end of time.

So, it was natural that when the moment came, we would decided together how we were going to do this. We talk about everything and the subject came up.
I said "I think we should get married already, there is no point in waiting really"
He looked skeptical, what was the point?
It's not like we were single, we belong to each other.
We have a son together and we plan to raise him and all the others to come together.

Still, he said "we'll see ok, we need to figure out when to get the ring. Do I get a ring too or just you?"
I laughed at this, I think he as confusing wedding bands with engagement rings. I wanted both.
We kept talking about it and he said that maybe we could go out and look for a ring on black Friday. I told him he was insane, black Friday is not the time to search for a wedding ring unless you already know what you want.
I said no.
"Let's go today."
"No!"
"It's the perfect time," I said.
*silence*

"Ok, let's do it, let's go get you a ring."
I couldn't believe it!
"Are you sure, right now?"
"Yes, right now, you're right, let's just do it, let's go."

And on we went to pick out a ring. A beautiful simple, dainty diamond ring.
I always envisioned a pink diamond but I'm sure those cost a fortune and I know that another type of rock would not do it for him.
So we got a diamond.
When we made the purchase, we looked at each other and just stared.
I was looking at the person whose eyes said everything.
His eyes were shouting I love yous and I'm happy.
I wanted to cry, but I kept my composure.

No, he didn't kneel down on one knee, and no, he didn't utter those famous "Will you marry me?" words either.
We just looked at each other and everything that needed to be said was said.
Everything felt right, I felt like a future princess bride and he was my prince.
He's always been my prince.

Now, we won't be having a big wedding, there will not be a reception. Nothing out of the ordinary really.
This is for us, just a small reunion with a couple of my friends and our family.

I don't have pictures of the ring at the moment, they are holding it to be re-sized for me. As soon as I get it back I'll post picture of it. It's gorgeouful!

Well, that's my love story.
A story that started with complete strangers falling in love and is leading to the happiest day of our lives (besides the birth of our son).
