February 7th was one of the best days of our lives!
It all started with Geoff sitting down with my father over lunch at Pazzo downtown for about 3 hours. During this time Geoff asked him if for his blessing to marry me. After the meeting, Geoff and I met up for some happy hour and didn't discuss the afternoon till later that evening when we were spending time at my apartment. It had been a month since he told me that he had a ring for me, so I had been anticipating this day for a while. As we were sitting there, he said that he was having trouble finding the ring. Yikes! This was a huge alarm for me. I tried to stay calm, but inside I was absolutely freaking out. He nonchalantly said that it was insured and that if he couldn't find it then it could be replaced.
It can't be replaced, this is the one. He checked his truck and said to me, "Oh, here it is!" Then he proceeded to open the box up, giggle at it like it's some cute puppy dog, close it up, and puts it away. Tears start to roll down my face on this emotional rollercoaster, which makes him feel awful. He pulls the ring back out of his pocket and started to cry as well. Kneeling down, he proposed and said he wanted to spend the rest of his life with me and couldn't imagine playing tricks on anyone else.
It was a classic trickster move on Geoffs behalf and completely unforgettable. It's exactly how I wanted it to happen, laid back and sincere. No frills, just raw emotion. I love him to death!
