I have received this question numerous times and I figured, what better way to tell everyone then a blog post? The beginning of the story is based off of Rich's recollection-- the morning of the big day...
On July 28th, we were getting ready to start our vacation to Myrtle Beach. I had the ring in my wallet. It was the only place that I knew Brittany would not look. She started to use my carry-on to pack some of her things. It was too risky hiding it in there. I started getting nervous once we got to the airport because I didn't want it to interfere with security and then it would be obvious and Brittany would find out. Just to make sure that the metal detectors wouldn't go off, I told the TSA agent "Just an FYI, I have an engagement ring in my wallet". To which to replied, "aw for her?" (well I should sure hope that it's for me!). Our carry-on bags and things went through the machine before I got there and Brittany got ahead of me and started grabbing everything. I don't know how she missed it. We got to the hotel, and found out we were on the 19th floor, which was the top floor. Our room had two balconies, one that looked out to North Ocean Boulevard, and one that looked out to the ocean. This was perfect, I now had two possible places to propose.
After we got back from the beach, we started getting ready to go out to dinner at Joe's Crab Shack. I was getting the balcony that faced the beach for the big question. I had our first song back from 2007 playing, With You by Chris Brown... how unfortunate that he sings that.
I had finished getting ready and by this time, I was starving and I just wanted to get to the restaurant in hopes of beating the big dinner rush, but Rich just insisted on looking at "that thing" on the beach. I really didn't want to and tried to convince Rich to "lets just go". But I caved in. As I walked out onto the balcony, I heard our song playing, and then it click. OMG, I THINK HE'S GOING TO PROPOSE. We sat down and Rich gave a speech, I instantly started to cry. He then told me that he left the ring home because he didn't want to lose it on the flight. At that point I didn't care, I WAS ENGAGED! For some reason I looked away and at that point Rich got down on one knee and asked me to marry him where he then presented my ring.
I said yes and we kissed. It was one of the most amazing moments of my life. After that we went to Joe's Crab Shack where I proceeded to tell and show everyone that I was freshly engaged. I figured that Rich would propose while on vacation since I was 7 weeks, going on 8 weeks pregnant. But I definitely didn't think that it would be the first night. It was the best vacation ever! Enjoy some pictures!
