Disneyland is our absolute favorite place to be! When we first started dating, we found out that one of the things we had in common was our love for Disneyland. So, it made sense that our first vacation together was to Disneyland! Well, for our second vacation, we went back and it was during the 45th anniversary celebration. We took our picture in front of Sleeping Beauty's castle and we made a deal that trip that if we were still together in 2005 for the 50th celebration, we would take another picture in front of the castle to update it.
We went to Disneyland the Sunday before Christmas because he wanted to update our christmas picture, get our 50th anniversary picture in front of the castle and also because he wanted to see Disneyland all decked out in the christmas decorations. So, we drove up from San Diego, walked into the park and took our new christmas picture in front of the big christmas tree they have on Main Street. After the picture, we walk down Main Street towards the castle and as we get closer to the castle we see this HUGE crowd of people. Before I can even say, what is going on, we look and see Mickey is climbing the Matterhorn. So, we waited about 20 minutes for Mickey to climb up the mountain and to give time for the crowd that had formed to clear so it wasn't insane in front of the castle. During all of this, Nick is just completely annoyed and flustered and I had no idea why. We walk over to the castle and start to pose for pictures. After we had taken two pictures, the cast member wanted us to put our hands together so they can put Tinkerbell in the picture. Nick stops him and says, "There is something I have to do first" and the next thing I know, he is pulling a black velvet box out of his pocket and is dropping to one knee. Of course, I start crying instantaneously and say, " Are you kidding me!!!!" and all I can see is this ring just sparkle. I was in utter disbelief. I have no idea what he said and even if he did ask me to marry him but I finally said, "are you going to put the ring on my finger?" His answer was, "yes, as soon as you take your promise ring off of your left hand!" As it turns out, everyone in his family and my parents, brother and girlfriend all had known since Thanksgiving this was going to happen and nobody told me.
