Engagement story

Monday evening John asked if I wanted to go to on a date night on Friday, I said sure! Later in the evening he mentioned Lespalier a French restaurant in Boston had a reservation open at 6:30. I knew that John wanted to try this place for as long as I can remember, so why not lets give it a try. Friday evening rolled around and we were getting dressed to go out to eat and John suggested I bring my clutch since it would go nice with my outfit. (since when did he become the expert in purse and outfit matching?) Anyway I didn't question it and started transferring things to the clutch when I put the camera in the bad instead of my phone (both don't fit) he suggested he would carry the camera and I can bring my phone. Alright I thought whatever if he wants to carry the camera he can carry the camera.

Fast forward 30 mins and we are at the restaurant just seated and we just ordered a bottle of wine and a cheese plate to start. (Mmmm cheese plate)

The cheese plate came to the table and I was ready to dig in! I had my knife in hand just about to slice off a piece of cheese and John starts in:
John: Michele
Michele: yes John
John: You know your my best friend right?
Michele: Yeah John lets eat the cheese plate
John: (pulls the ring out of his pocket)
Michele: what are you doing?

It was all a blur after this I neither John nor I could tell you what happen him from nervousness and me from the shock. After a few minutes go by and it sunk in what he just asked I realized the ring was still sitting in the box on the table.

Michele: John, are you going to put that ring on my finger or are we just going to keep it in the box?
John: Ha! of course, boy I am so glad that is over I feel so much better!

It was romantic and not with out a little humor, I couldn't be happier and I was completely surprised! After the proposal I was still shaking and excited I could not eat I ended up taking most of my meal home!
