Just to give you some background information on my story I have a 6 year old daughter from a previous marriage. Her and I have been on our own since she was 18 months.
The day I was proposed to, my Fiance Chris had asked my daughter upstairs. I was cleaning the kitchen & didn’t think much of it since it was close to Christmas, so I assumed he was showing her what “they bought meâ€.
He asked her to sit down and asked her if she thought it was OK if he asked mommy to marry him. She answered “yes, that’s okâ€. “Are you sure?†asked Chris “YUP†she replied. He then asked her “what do I need then If I want to ask mommyâ€, Mia answered “a ringâ€. Chris then pulled out a little silver box and handed it to her. When she opened it, she was a little confused as the ring size was small. Chris looked at her and told Mia that he had bought her a ring too. Mia put it on automatically (on her ring finger no less) and gave him a big hug...so excited and in love with her new ring. She then asked “How about mommy?â€. Chris then pulled out my ring for Mia to see. “Oh she’s going to love itâ€.....she told him. He then asked “Could you bring the ring down to Mommy and ask her if she’ll marry me?â€. Mia was soooooo excited that she said “yes†and ran downstairs.
She walked into the Kitchen and said “Mom, Chris wants to marry youâ€...I looked at her very confused and caught off guard. I said “what are you talking about?†She answered....â€he asked me and I said it was ok, so..do you want to marry him?†and then opened my ring box...I then realized that this was the real thing and began looking around for Chris who I found down on one knee outside of the kitchen.
It takes a special man to think of involving the most precious person my life in the sweetest proposal ever. Mia and I both wear our rings that Chris bought us...mine representing the engagement, and Mia’s representing the commitment Chris has made to her.
