Engagement Story

For those of you that don't know the story, here it is. First of all, while we were friends,since 01, we talked about alot of stuff, well one of the topics was proposals. He asked me what my dream proposal would be, and i told him it would be by the ocean.
Ok, so fast forward now to July of 07. In june, he told me he planned a trip for us in the beginning of July. So on July 5th at 5 in the morning, we drove to Boise to the airport where he had bought us plane tickets to Oregon. I still had no idea what was gioing on. Well we flew into Portland Oregon about 9:30am. Then he had his Uncle pick us up in his convertible, then we went back to his uncles house where his cousins were still waking up. Cody had it already arranged with his uncle to borrow his convertible for the day and do all of our activities that Cody had planned and I had no idea still. Well, our first activity took us to the tillamook cheese factory. That was pretty cool. Then Cody asked me if I would like to go to an aquarium near the ocean or the beach first, I said the aquarium, then while were traveling there from the cheese factory, cody said we didn't have time to do both so he asked if we could just go to the Portland coast and i told him that i really wanted to go to the aquarium first still. But Cody insisted that we neeeded to go to the coast because we were running out of time befor we had to catch our flight back to Boise. So a little irritated of why we needed to go to the coast first, i agreed. We finally got there, played around in the water, then after about an hour, i was getting really really cold and the water was freezing. So I started walking back to our towels laying on the sand, when cody grabbed my hand and said, No you can't go yet. I asked why, then after a few seconds of silents and no answer, i turned around to start walking back, then he grabbed my hand again and, when i turned around, he was down on one knee. then he said, you can't go back yet cause i want to spend the rest of my life with you, Anjillee, will you marry me? well right when i was saying yes, he was putting the ring on my finger when this huge wave came and i turned my head and kinda yanked my hand away. Well when i turned back around to look at him, there was a look of disgust on his face. I immediately knew we dropped the ring becuase it wasn't on my finger. so he started looking in the ice cold water and i tryed to help but i was to sad about my ring being gone to look anymore. so for the last time i turned around and started walking towards the car. I was trying not to cry, but then when Cody joined me on our way back up to the car, i started crying after i knew he didn't find it. So when we finally got back to the car, he let me in the car to dry off a little while he put the top up on the convertible, while he was doing that, i was dialing my mom to tell her that he proposed and that we dropped the ring, well the phone just started ringing when cody got done and came to my door and asked what i was doing, when i told him, he said no and shut my phone. I then was getting angry because i was mad about the ring, i was cold and he wasn't giving me a explanation of why he shut the phone while my mom was on the other line. He then finally said, because, I want to spend the rest on my life with you and pulled out the REAL ring. It is a beautiful ring. Well i of course said yes and asked him what we were going to do about the other ring. He said nothing because it was a 8 dollar one from walmart. So he proposed on July 5th 2007, and we got married October 5th 2007. It was the longest 3 months of my life. It was also really rewarding because I payed for the wedding all by myself, like i wanted to. Well i hope you enjoyed our story. He made my dream come true!!!!!!!!!
