The night Justin proposed to me we had plans to go out with friends. I got home from work and he had cleaned the entire house. I got out of the shower and asked him if he was ready to go. After noticing how strange he was acting I asked him if he wanted to go, saying that we didn’t have to if he was tired or just wanted to relax. He told me he did want to go but couldn’t find his phone, which he had put on top of the fridge where he spelt out in magnets "will you marry me?" After realizing he was going to make no effort to find it on his own I started to call it, finally I told him that he must have dropped it in his parents car and we would get it tomorrow. When he was still acting strange I proceeded to ask if he had been drinking and he told me yes he was drunk. I said what did you drink and he told me, in another attempt to get me to look at the magnets, the rum we had on the fridge. I then was even more confused because, as I pointed out to him, the rum we had was cheap well rum and we had no soda or ice cubes... Exasperated by my cluelessness he gave in and said lets go. As we were walking down the stone pathway he hugged me and told me he loved me right before he got down on his knee and asked me to marry him.

     Boy was it interesting on the night I asked Hanna to marry me. I wasn’t positive that was for sure going to be the night I would ask her, but after I had the ring in my possession knew there was no way I could wait any longer. After thinking of a few different ways to ask her I decided to write it out in magnets on the refrigerator, assuming at some point she would get something out of it and bam, it would be so special. But to no one’s surprise, clueless Hanna unintentionally made every effort to make this as hard as possible for me. So once she got home from work I told her to go shower because she stunk, which she loves when I tell her, so I could arrange the magnets. Once she got herself less stinky and ready to leave, I began to realize that she was not going to notice the magnets. In my weakest attempts to get her to notice, I placed my phone on top of the fridge hoping she would hear it vibrate and notice. Andddddd nope. Alright let’s try another strategy then. There was a bottle of rum on top of the fridge. Pretend to be drunk? Alright perfect what a great idea, she will definitely notice now. But instead she was flabbergasted at how I could just drink terrible cheap rum without a mixer or ice. Andddddd failed attempt number two. At this point without telling her to look at the fridge, clearly there was no way she was going to notice. Time to wing it Justin. As we were leaving I stopped her on the walkway, hugged her and told her I loved her, dropped down on one knee, and here we are!
