On January 14th, the day of my 23rd birthday, Steve decided to take me to a popular restaurant for my birthday dinner. When we got to the restaurant, I noticed that the waiters were acting a little funny and grinning at me whenever they realized I was with Steve but I did not put two-and-two together at this point. We were taken to our table, and as we approached I saw that there was a vase of a dozen roses that Steve had come along before and left for me. I thought then, that that was what the waiters were smiling about but I was wrong. There were much better surprises that were yet to come.
After dinner, Steve took three flowers from the vase of roses that was sitting on the table and began his presentation. He laid them on the table and referred to the first rose as a symbol of our past. He talked about how we meet four years ago and how we have spent the last three years of our lives together. For the second rose, he spoke about our life in the present tense and at this point, he told me that I could open the present that he had gotten me for my birthday. As he handed me the package, I was trying to hide my dissapointment in opening a picture frame for my birthday present until I read what the frame said, "The night you won't forget."
As I read this, the wheels were turning in my head as to what I thought this meant. Once he got to the final rose, he slid off the seat and got down on one knee and asked me to marry him...Now we are engaged and planning our wedding...
