i wanted a nice picnic at the beach (sunset) and had a bunch of photos ex: brick and he would have to tell me what he saw beyond that = a house

bug = butterfly , so on and so on and the last one would be a picture of ourself and well that would equal mariage, but becasue of the distance i did it over the phone and the net while i was talking to him i would send him the pictures wating for his response and well the last one i had to morphe a pic of the both of us and then i told him how i felt and he said YES !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Do you see the little paws on the belly there? Well, not exactly paws, but I didn't know how else to describe it, as it's how they move when on the bottom of the ocean.

Yeah, I ordered prawns in Thailand thinking I was going to get some nice fried shrimp, and then I got four of those things. Tik had to eat most of them for me, she'll eat almost anything it seems (though she has never had some American staples like bagels or corn dogs, so we'll see if that's the equivalent of the giant, scary shrimp monster for her).

They have walking legs and swimming legs, but no paws, claw-like feet maybe but definitely no paws. Didn't mean to come off as a smart ### or make anyone ponder the fact that they do have things sticking out under their bellies, I just found the visual hillarious when I read that =D

*GIF of little shrimp walking around on - and swimming with - the dog feet attached under it's belly*

Marlon and I had already established that we would be getting married and we too were waiting for the proposal in person. Well, he was in England and I had told him that I wanted one of the Irish heart rings, I asked for silver rather than gold and he sent it to me in the mail and the way it was carefully thought out and placed in cardboard was so nice! There was even a secret code I had to find! lol

SO, fast forward to my first trip to Jamaica and we were driving and he....

asked the steering wheel to marry him! lol I teased him and told him maybe he should ask me next time and not the steering wheel! lol And the rest is history....

Well our engagement was in 3 steps.

1)I had been in the US for over 6 month, waiting for the renewal of my B2 visa so we could be together a bit longer. I was very stressed because of it.

Then on March 25th (a bit over a month since my b2 had expired and I was 'pending') we were chilling on the sofa and talking about the all what are we going to do? What are our options so I can stay. I told him again the various things I knew from spending so much time on VJ. He had been avoiding the subject a lot because he didn't want to have to think about it.\

Then he said:"Well let's just apply for a Fiance visa then."

I didn't believe him, I figured he was joking and told himso, he insited that he was serious. Since I still didn't believe him he stood up, went to the kitchen and came back with...

A paper ring he made (out of he things you use to tie bulk bags of food), he had even done a 'stone' on it. I looked at him and laughed. Then he said something like he promised me to ask me to marry him someday. I was still laughing but believing him now. He put the ring on the wrong finger, but that was ok.

We then decided we were going to apply to the k1 and get engaged and seriously decided to get married later.

We didn't tell anyone.

Not too long after that I got a job offer and had 2 interviews, the Cie was ready to get me a work visa and we were both very excited and abandoned the k1 idea.

2)On June 5th, the Cie calls me back, they can't get a work permit. I'm crying alone in the house. He is at work and won't be back until the next day. I call him, in tears, tell him what's going on and that we need to make a decision (I was supposed to go back to France in the middle of August). He comes back the next day and I tell him we need to talk about it. He is tired from work and doesn't want to, so I tell him "Fine bring the subject on yourself". Hours pass, nothing. I was very unhappy at that point, but I stayed stubborn and didn't bring the subject. Friday, nothing.

On Saturday, i can't stand it anymore. I'm pissed, I walk in the bathroom and confront him telling him I need to know what we are going to do.

The rest is a bit of a blur. I think he said something like "well I thought it was clear, we'll just get married', I only half registered... might have been distracted by the fact that he was naked and cover with soap I guess.. I felt better but still not 100% sure of what we were doing (yes I know I'm slow).

The next day in the car I told him: "So have we decided something or not, because I'm not really sure." He looks at me like I come from an other planet :"I thought it was clear, we are getting married."

"Oh".

So there it was decided...

Later that day I faced him and said "Well since you won't ask me I will ask you. Will you marry me?" He answered "maybe".

Days went by, we set a date (July 6th), called family and friends to let them know (the all planning was less than a month). We had a row at some point because I kept on telling him that I wanted him to ask me to marry him, he felt pressured. I ended up in tears and telling him I didn't give a s.hit about the ring and all that (he said he couldn't afford it) and all i wanted was him to ask me, just ask. He didn't.

3)July 5th, the day before the wedding. In the evening we met with Marjorie (my god sister and his cousin), Dam (my brother who came from France on supper short notice thanks to my family), Suz & Brent (his sister and brother-in-law).

They had been driving all day and were tired. We went to find a restaurant, a pizzaria, it was packed. We wrote our names on the waiting list and to kill time went to the bar right next door inside the same building. My now hubby wrote were to find us. Time went by, it was getting late, so we came by to the door of the restaurant. They said they called us and we were not there and that it was now 9pm and they were closing. We explained that our relatives drove all the way from Florida to be with us, hadn't had food, were tired and that we were getting married the next day. They said ok as long as we were supper quick to order.

So we came in, sat down, ordered quickly and had our nice pizza.

It was now the end of the meal. Everyone was ready, but Suz told us that Colt wasn't done with his beer and that we should wait a bit longer (she actually was not in the plot). And that's when Colt decided to start a speech. He thanked them for being there, and said something like we hadn't done anything normal in this wedding planning and that now in the presence of my brother, his cousin, his siter and his brother in law he wanted to do at least one thing according to the rule. I was wondering what he was going to do.

And then next thing I know, he has one knee on the floor, he is fumbling with his fabric glass case and retrives a ring. I probably looked like that . He looked at me and said : "Would you be my wife?", I said "Of course" and hugged him, then he put the ring on the wrong finger (again) .

I later found out he had had the ring in his pocket for the past month pretty much. He had been about to ask me the previous day. We had been at our friends, outside, with a fire burning, watching the fireworks. (Much more romantic than a restaurant especially when I always said i didn't want a restaurant proposal)... but my brother passed out in the grass a beer in his hand (I have great pictures from it). So instead he decided to do it when the people we cared about were there.

So I can always blame it on my brother that I didn't got THE romantic moment.

By the way, on July 4th, the friends we were at... well he had a ring in his pocket too... He proposed a few days later when they were visiting family in Ohio.
