Forgive me for the cheeziness of this post. There is no other way to blog about this without the mushy cushy, cheezy, lovey dovey, fairytale romance.
Once upon a time there was a girl. She knew that one day she would find love but never knew that it would be found with one click of a button. (I literally mean one click of a button.) Sitting there at her computer, scanning through profiles one seems to keep catching her eye. So with nothing to lose, she sends him a "wink." A "wink" on a dating website indicates, "hey I'm interested, lets get to know eachother." The next thing she knew, they decided to meet.
After their first meeting, she called her sister to let her know how it went. According to her, the date went well. But several days passed by where she didn't hear from him. Her very bright, charming, lovely sister told her to drop him like it's hot. He's obviously not interested. ( Her sister doesn't hide her feelings very well.)
Luckily...she did not take her sister's advice.
They did go out again. But she was still a little confused. He would goes days on days without texting her. Was he interested? She sure was. Her sister felt the same way...drop him. There are plenty of fish in the sea!
Once again...she did not take her very charming, smart, lovely sister's advice.
This went on for a while. Finally, she decided to have the DTR talk. (DTR=define the relationship) Of course her younger sister had to tell her this. They finally DTR their relationship. It was official. They were an item. It didn't take long for her sweet, charming, intellegent sister to make up a nick-name for him. Prince Edward. During this time, the royal wedding was going on so it only seemed appropriate to call her sister's new boyfriend Prince Edward. Edward being his real name and all.
Thank goodness she did not take the advice from her amazing, talented, wonderful sister. Although her sister is still not sure what his whole, "I'm not going to call her for a few days and make her suffer thing was about." Apparently he was "playing it cool."
Their love quickly grew. They bonded over politics, education, simular interest, importance of family, but most of all they bonded and fell in love with eachother's love for God. They made it a priority to have God at the center of their lives and relationship and it was very clear.
He got the parents approval. Now it was time to get the amazing, sweet, caring, awesome sister's approval. Her sister was always tough on the boyfriends because she knew that her sister only deserved the best. Her goal was to scare off every guy who wasn't anything but perfect for her sister.
Luckily, Prince Edward met her awesome, smart, charming sister's approval. Her sister knew then, she was going to marry this guy. It didn't take them long to realize that too.
After several months, Prince Edward ask her parents for her hand in marriage. The parents were thrilled and ofcourse gave their approval.
Prince Edward chose August 18th, 2012 as the day he was going to propose. He planned everything out to be absolutley perfect. Since both were living and working in DC, he chose to propose at the Jefferson Memorial at Sunset. He had his brother and mother hiding in the bushes to tape the whole engagment. They also had an audiance of 5 people who witnessed the whole engagment. It even brought some to tears. (mind you, they were still drinking from the night before.) After he proposed, he planned for them to go on a day cruise. Prince Edward then had it planned for her family to come and surprise her. He knew how much that would mean to her knowing that her family meant everything to her. They came back to his apartment where his Mom had champagne and appetizers their waiting to celebrate this joyous time. They finally arrived and needless to say she was very surprised her family was their waiting to congratulate her.
We then all watched the video of the engagment. Which she had NO idea about and neither did her family. After taking many pictures, googleing over the gorgeous ring, crying and celebrating we continued the celebration by all going out to eat. We shared stories, listened to the newly engaged couple talk about their day, laughing about the unexpected audiance who watched the whole engagement, watch the couple share a dance, and simply talked to eachother. Two separate families were quickly becoming one. After dinner, we went to leave to find a limo waiting their to take us around to different historical places in DC. We all piled in the limo, still in shock continuing the joyous celebration of this engagement. The family was later dropped off and the two lovebirds rode off together to hit up their favorite spots in DC until they finally went home.
I am proud to say that the girl in this story is my sister, Janet and Prince Edward is my new future brother-in-law.
This story was written through eye's of Janet's, sweet, charming, amazing, smart, awesome, caring younger sister. Their love story continues to unfold but I can honestly end this story by saying...
And they lived happily ever after.
