AJ's Engagment Proof!
I just popped the question. I just wanna let everybody know that the Backstreet Boys are not ones to hide anything. I mean obviously, especially with me going into rehab. I came out and told everybody the truth and told everybody that I had a problem and I went and fixed it, and I've got 5 and a half months sober. I just got a whole knew life ahead of me and I'm ready to stop being a 'playa' as everyone calls 'em and I'm ready to grow up and move on. And I've found the woman of my dreams. She makes me very happy. Her name is Sarah Martin, and she's also in the business, she also sings. And I popped the question on her Monday night as soon as I flew back in from Orlando. I was back in Orlando spending time with my grandfather and my family getting ready for the holidays. And I picked up a ring and I was kinda going back and forth in my head whether I was gonna do it on New Year's Eve or whatnot. But I popped the question. I was real nervous. I was all sweaty and clammy. I freaked out! But I did it. I rushed it but I did it, and it's been wonderful. I just want all of our fans to be supportive and be happy like they were with Brian and with Leighanne and Kevin and Kristin, and I'm sure that they will. We have the most wonderful fans in the world and they've been so supportive. Especially with me and with my situation. And she makes me happy and she keeps me sober, and it's just awesome. We're just a great couple together. I basically set it up where I told her that our relationship's over, kinda like I was breaking up with her in a weird kinda way. She had this freaked out look on her face and I told her to close her eyes and I got down on one knee and I said 'Open your eyes' and I said 'Sarah Jo Martin, will you be my wife?' She muttered what sounded like 'yes' and she started crying and she just her knees buckled! And she came down and we're both on two knees now sitting there hugging each other. And I'm like 'Well wait! Say it again make sure I heard you right. Please tell me that you said yes!' And she did. So ya know, it was awesome, man. It's such a beautiful experience. Kevin's very supportive. Kevin and Kristin came to the Christmas party. Brian and Leighanne are very supportive. Nick and Howie, everybody, ya know? It's just an awesome thing, man. It really is. I see how happy Brian and Kevin are, and it's just it's my turn. Howie and Nick, it's not their turn yet! I know that for a fact, but ya know. For me, it's definitely my turn and it's just it's awesome, dude. I was hoping to wait for freakin' New Year's! But I freakin' rushed it! I'm just so damn premature it's just terrible. My mom said I was premature, that's why I'm all messed up in the head. I can't do anything when I say I'm gonna do it. I always rush it. Just do it on the spur of the moment. But this is something that I didn't rush. I definitely put a lot of thought into it, and I've been thinking about it for like the past month. I was gonna do it [earlier], but ya know. I didn't have the ring yet. I went from the gutters of being depressed and bummed out about the loss of my grandmother, and just a whole bunch of other crap, and it just turned around. Going to rehab totally just opened my eyes and opened my heart, opened everything inside me to just really come out and be a whole new person and just be the person that my mom loves and my mom knew when I was a kid, that the fellas knew when the group started, and that all of our fans knew when the group started. Cuz I was a prick, dude. I was a complete ass. And ya know now I still have no ass, but at least I'm a nice guy!
