Leticia's view of the engagement story

David and I had just gotten back to his house from FHE. So we were just mingling with his family as they we carving pumpkins, laughing, and just having a good 'ol time. I then realized that David snuck upstairs because he was no where to be seen. After a while, he comes back downstairs and asks to talk to me in the front room in a kind of stern voice, so I'm like wondering ok, what did I do now? He then starts kissing me a lot and gives me a big hug, so now I'm totally confused because he went from being kind of stern to being all lovey dovey with me. I asked him what was going on and he says "there's something I need to talk to you about." By this time I'm like shaking because I don't know whether to be happy or worried. I say, "hun, please just tell me what's going on." he says "ok, we need to sit down." Eventhough I did not want to sit, I did it just so he would tell me. I'm sure glad I did though, because he then grabbed my hand and I said "david, what's happening?" he said "Nothing is happening right now, but there will be something happening in our future." I said "Well what is it?" Instead of answering me though, he says "I just talked to your mom on the phone upstairs." Right away I thought, oh my gosh, he's going to ask me to marry him!! Sure enough he gets down on one knee and says "Leticia, I want to be your husband for all time and eternity, will you marry me?" I immediately jump up and scream really really really loud, then I give him a big kiss, then I looked into his dreamy blue eyes and I say "yes!! OF COURSE I will marry you!!!"

About 5 days later... I'm just at work busy with the normal Saturday morning clients. Out of no where, David walks in, like he did back in January when we first became re-united with each other after him coming back home from his mission. I had no idea he was coming, but I was sure glad to see him like I was back in January. I could tell he wanted to talk to me, but I had to wait until I was not busy. So about 15 mins. later, I finally get a chance to talk with him. We sit once again on a little couch in the back of the salon. He says "I have something I want to give you." He gets down on his knee again and opens up that cute little black velvet box with the most unique, gorgeous, breathtaking ring I have ever seen in my life! With a kind of nervous tone to his voice but a really big handsome smile on his face he asks me to marry him again. I say "oh yes!" He then takes my hand and slides the ring onto my finger. I give him a huge hug and kiss and then we both go up to the front and show all of my co-workers.

I love how David didn't put on a big show with the actual engagement... it was in a warm family environment which is exactly what I want the both of us to have together forever. What truly makes me happy is knowing that I'm going to be HIS wife for all eternity!! And how cute is it that the place where we became re united and have been together eversince, was the same place where he got down on his knee again and put that beautiful ring on my finger. Super Cuts will just always be that special place where we can bring our future kids and tell them that this place was where our wonderful journey together all began. There's so many memories there between David and I. I'm so thankful that he did come into that Super Cuts that day and sweep me off my feet into his wonderful, spiritual, and fun life! I love you David!!! <3
