Love Story: Our Engagement Part 3 of Eternity

When Jared realized he couldn’t live without her, he decided to do something about it.  He put a ring on it. They took a while to pick out the ring. She wanted small and simple, he wanted something gaudy and noticeable from far away for all the admirers. They found a good mix of both. A diamond ring with a two-sided profile covered with lots of bling.

He told her the ring wouldn’t be ready for another week because he was too busy with finals. Megan fell for it easily because she didn’t see a time he could of actually picked up the ring... he was always with her. She was nonetheless upset that he didn’t “have his priorities straight.” Priorities being her! He decided to take Megan on a blast to the past date and his reasoning was, “you say I’m never romantic, so I wanted to do this tonight.” She bought it! They started where it all began… the MTC. They acted as a newly married  couple investigators for the missionaries. Then they headed to the duck pond, to feed some not so hungry ducks. Jared took a flashback picture of the same shot he got so many months before and stalled for another hour until his brother gave him word that the next step was ready. Megan insisted they discuss where they were going to eat because she was so hungry and knew they usually take forever to decide. Jared just said, “ We will discuss that later.” That’s when she knew something was up. They went to grab a coat and entered Jared’s apartment to see a blanket and picnic ready to go.  Jared’s twin brother gave him a pep talk in their room and off the couple went to the most romantic spot on earth… the park where they had their first kiss. They laid the blanket down in the exact spot and ate rotisserie chicken, potato salad, rolls and chocolate covered strawberries. Megan thought he was being suspicious and that it could be the moment. But Jared ended the date by saying, “it’s getting cold, we should go.” Darnit! She thought. They picked up, folded the blanket and when Megan turned around from throwing things in the trash 20 meters away, Jared was kneeling on the folded blanket but not on one knee... on both!

 “For sure, now he is going to!” she thought, but he just kept jabbering about the day and finals and his Lacrosse trip. “Maybe not.” Then he nervously, but so cutely, got to the point, he talked about how happy he has been since she came into his life pulled out the ring and asked her to make him happy for all eternity. She said YES!
