| It started out as a weekend of fun celebrating Christina's birthday. Patrick & Christina headed up to Anaheim to spend a weekend at the Disney Theme Parks (Disneyland and Disney's California Adventure). Beginning Friday night and throughout the weekend Patrick had left big yellow envelopes for Christina in various places. Inside the envelope was an 8x10 picture of Patrick holding a sign. Each sign had a saying that they would say to each other on a daily basis, such as, "Happy Valentine's Day Everyday!" and "Good Morning Sunshine!" The significance of this was pictures are a big part of their relationship (being that they were far from each other in the beginning of their relationship that they relied on pictures to include each other in their everyday life & experiences). Sunday night Patrick & Christina were at Disney's California Adventure and were about to sit down to watch the Electrical Parade when Patrick decided to take Christina over to this seating area that overlooked Paradise Pier. (picture above) He told her that her birthday was almost over & he wanted to spend some time alone with her. Christina was happy to sit down from all the walking they had done that day. As they sat down, Patrick handed a birthday card to Christina that said nothing but sweet words to make her smile. After she finished reading it she kissed him and put the card down at her side. She turned back to Patrick and he handed her another yellow envelope with a picture in it. This picture was of Patrick holding a sign that read, "I love you very much Mrs. Pablo!" Christina smiled and looked back at Patrick and said, "No Mrs. Pablo, you're gonna jinx it!" and laughed. She kissed him again and put the envelope and picture down at her side with the birthday card. She turned back to Patrick again and he handed her another envelope. She laughed and opened it. Patrick stopped her from pulling it out and looked at her and said, "Before you look at this picture, I want you to know that you have made me the happiest man since the day I met you, and I want to make you happy for the rest of our lives! OK, open it!" Christina pulled out the first picture, a ring in a white box. She continued onto the next picture, a ring in a white box with another box next to it that reads "The Wedding Ring Store." She flips to the third picture which is of Patrick on one knee holding his final sign that reads, "Christina Ann Alvarado, Will You Marry Me?" Christina's eyes well up with tears, she turns to Patrick & he's on his knee with the ring in hand, smiles and says (with the Electrical Parade music playing in the background), "Will you marry me?" She hugs him, kisses him & says "YES!!" She was so happy that she wanted to run out in the middle of the Electrical Parade and scream, "He asked me to marry him & I said YES!!" but she held back and just yelled, "I love this man, I love him, I love him." |
