Engagement Date: 11/29/09
Wedding Date: 9/4/10

I made assumptions about when and how John was going to propose to me. We had planned on going to Pittsburgh to visit family for Thanksgiving and I was positive it was going to happen at Falling Water outside of Pittsburgh. When I accidentally shared all my thoughts, John denied the proposal saying he wasn’t ready and hadn’t talked to my father yet. I was devastated! The Saturday after Thanksgiving we went to Buca di Bepo in Pittsburgh and he made motions like he was going to propose - we were talking about it, he reached into his pockets, and opened up his hands. Guess what! No ring. Again, I was devastated. We went to Falling Water on Sunday and throughout our tour, made fun of the idea that I thought we were getting engaged. After the tour we went to the View (the spot where I thought it was goin g to happen). We took pictures of the scenery and John pulled me aside. Again, thinking that we were going to joke around, I hugged him. Instead of walking away, he knelt down. This time there was a ring! Instead of saying “yes” right away, I just stammered, “You’re not kidding this time”. “Yes” came a few seconds after the shock wore off.
