Proposal Flashback

One year ago, today, an amazing man asked to take me to Uni Sushi for dinner. Staged as "date night", I found nothing questionable about the fact that this particular restaurant is where we had our first date. After an incredible meal and good conversation, he suggested we go see the fountains that were synchronized to music. A little reluctant at first, I finally agreed and we headed over to them.

The Fountains at Waterway Square

We sat and watched as the lights changed and the music hummed in the background. It was very pretty. After some time had passed, he suggested we take a picture together and pulled out a disposable camera from his pocket. I found this strange, but I agreed, again, suspicious of what was going on. We found an older couple nearby and asked them to take our photo.

"Where do you want to take the picture?" the lady asked.

"Over here," he replied, pointing to the location.

"What do you want me to take a picture of exactly?"

"Well, get the fountains in the background and make sure to get me proposing to my future wife!" he exclaimed, pulling out a ring box while dropping to one knee.

I gasped. And the rest is a blur. What I do remember is that I said yes. And even though the lady didn't know how to use a disposable camera, I love that we have a few snapshots to remember the day.

I love you, Jarrod!
