HOW WE MET
Blair and I were set up on a blind date! A good friend of both of ours said for months that she knew we would be perfect for each other! After some time of patiently waiting to be asked out by the man that was “perfect” for me, I decided it was time to make a move (clearly he was taking too long). I contacted Blair, who promptly asked me to drinks after work. I knew there was something special about Blair when, at the end of their first date, Blair told me to wait inside while he ran through the pouring rain to his car. We had driven separately to the first date, so he fetched his car just to drive me less than half the distance to my car. This was a great first impression :)
THE PROPOSAL
Monday, October 1st, 2012: I had been working at a jewelry store when I received a call over the weekend about a project meeting scheduled for Monday. This of course seemed like nothing out of the ordinary.
When I arrived Monday I was told we were going to hold the meeting out on the store floor because the conference room was "full". After 10 minutes of going over the meeting topics and agenda, my manager said she had to grab something from the back of the store, leaving me alone (not so coincidently in the wedding ring section of the store).
Shortly after my manager left, Blair, who had been waiting in the "full" conference room for an hour leading up to my arrival, emerged. I was still oblivious to what was about to happen, and actually scolded Blair and asked "What are you doing here? I am in the middle of a meeting!" Unfazed, Blair continued to walk towards me, got down on one knee and recited a few lines he had been practicing for months leading up to the date (which Blair says ended up coming out completely backwards).
By the time Blair got to "Will you marry me?", reality was setting in. With tears building in my eyes, I said "YES!"
