Jeff really wanted the proposal to be a surprise but I am hard to surprise and I knew the proposal was coming. Because of that Jeff picked the day after Christmas because he knew that when I realized he wasn't proposing on Christmas Day that it had to be on 12/27 when he made "dinner reservations" at a nice restaurant. The day after Christmas we had plans to go decorate a tile for charity for the Historical Society of Dana Point. Since it was the day after a holiday, I was tired and didn't feel like getting ready to go out. Jeff must had been stressing out about my lack of effort when I was getting ready...but he didn't act anxious at all! I finally managed to get myself ready and we drove from my house to Fired Up in San Clemente. When we got there we were greeted by the owner and I was told to pick out a table we wanted to use to paint our tile and Jeff would handle the paper work. When they both returned to our table I was asked if we wanted to see an example of a tile that someone else had decorated. When she placed the tile in front of me I realized it said "Amanda will you marry me? Love, Jeff" Once I realized what was going on the tears came and I said yes after Jeff said many nice things to me that I barely remember. Jeff had given the store owner my camera to get pictures of the whole thing. It was the most perfect proposal and he totally surprised me! Here are the pictures!
Even from the side you can see the shock on my face! And the look of "Haha - I gotcha" on his!
Now I know why girls always have their hands over their mouths. I didn't even realize I was doing it!
Cue the "ugly cry face" as my new best friend is slipped on.
Newly engaged and showing off our very special tile.
Outside the very cute store it all happened in.
This is the picture I took with my cell phone that I sent to all my friends to share the good news. I tried calling a few people it just got overwhelming so I used technology to make it a bit easier.
Were you surprised by your proposal or did you know it was happening?
