No Joke

Well a little back story:

For weeks…even months Dave has been joking with me about getting engaged. His has told me several times he has taken 3 or 4 rings back because I keep on changing my mind about what type of ring I want (not true). He also has told me how funny he thought it would be to propose with an empty ring box.

Fast forward to today:

Today after work I went out to Dave’s to cook dinner for us. He came home to me grilling out on the deck. We exchanged our normal how was your day…what are we eating comments. I told him I had bought had bought him a something and it was in the kitchen…he walked in to find a bottle of Red Diamond. He asked, “Are you trying to tell me something?” I laughed and said yes I am trying to send you a subliminal message…I NEED a ring! He laughed and said, “You know what this reminds me of what I forgot to do today.” I replied, “What take another ring back?” As he was emptying his pockets he said no I didn’t forget to do that I actually picked it up today. I started saying over and over again, “Dave don’t play like this.” He asked if I thought right now would be a romantic time. I said well it could be if you weren’t joking. He told me to wait a minute- out to his truck he went. He came back in and got down on one knee and held a closed white box in his hand. I said Dave Smith if this is a joke I am going to be so mad at you. He told me how he loved me and wanted to spend the rest of his life with me and said Jessica will you marry me? I still thought it was all a bad joke because he was smiling so big…I said Dave is this is no joke YES I’ll marry you. He opened the box and inside was the most beautiful ring I had ever laid eyes on. I couldn’t even look at it because I felt like I was dreaming. I even asked oh my is this a dream…I can’t believe this is really happening.

It wasn’t a dream…but a dream come true!!!
