While we were in MB, we did a lot of lounging and soaking up some rays. Our time together was something we always valued and never took for granted. One night when we were getting ready to go out to dinner, Brett had a suprise for me....little did I know at the time how big of a suprise it would actually be!
I walked outside and there sat a horse and carriage ready to pick us up from his mom's. It was so beautiful, I had never riden in a carriage. The driver of the carriage had on a white tux with top hat and the carriage itself was white with red velvet interior. The driver was waiting on me with a dozen yellow long stem roses (my favorite). Brett and I road int he carriage to an ocean view resturant were he had arranged for us to be seated at a corner table with an ocean view. The whole time I just thought we were having a special evening because he was gettting ready to leave me for 6 months. Well...............guess what?
After our wonderful meal (which now that I think about....Brett didn't really touch...nerves), our waitress called for everyone's attention........The next thing I know Brett is standing in front of the entire resturant- talking about his unconditional love for me, bowing down on one knee with ring in hand...asking me to marry him. Of course I said, "YES!" and next thing I know, his mom pops out with Uncle Jimmy and Aunt Kim with camcorder in hand (which was mine that they sneaked -haha). After we all hugged, kissed, and cried, we continued our evening in the horse and carriage until the late hours.
Brett made me feel like I was on top of the world. He did that everyday we were together. He was always doing everything he could to let me know how much he loved me and how much he cared. I had never met someone like him and I knew that he was one of a kind.
