Friday night was quite possibly the best night of my life so far. I have the most romantic, fantastic FIANCEE (!!!!!!) in the world.
Aaron totally surprised me by taking me out for dinner. He made reservations at Russo's in Cuyahoga Falls. We were seated in a little booth in the corner. We ordered a bottle of wine and some great food. Aaron was more nervous and antsy than usual. Just as we got our wine he said he left his wallet in the car and went to get it. We had potato pancake appetizers, which were delish. Next came the salad. Also delish. We ordered our food.
As we were waiting for our food, I'm pretty sure i said something sarcastic (but funny). He looked at me and asked why did he love me. He then started counting off reasons on his fingers. Finally he looked me dead in the eye and said, You know how much I love you right? He reached into his jacket pocket and pulled out a little blue and red box. He got down on one knee and said "Erin Lynn Gordon, will you marry me?" I immediately started to sob and shake. Of course, I said YES! I had no idea even which hand the ring went on. Aaron said he double checked it with my mom the night before. I barely at any dinner because I was so excited!! He mentioned that he had other things planned for the night. He wanted to take me back to the bar where we first met, which was perfect by me!!
My ring is absolutely beautiful. He had it custom made at a jeweler in wadsworth. It is white gold in a tulip setting. It's a little too big, but we are getting that taken care of today. I love it.
However, the night just got better. He took me to see the Christmas lights at Blossom. We got done there and we headed to downtown akron. We made a pit stop at a bar before we went to the bar where we first met, Lux. As we walked into Lux, the bouncer asked if we were here for the party, Aaron quickly said nope and we headed upstairs. As soon as we got to the top of the steps, i noticed that our friends and family were all there! He had arranged an engagement party for me! It was an amazing night, and everything was perfect.
I did, however learn a valuable lesson. NEVER mix a bottle of wine and lots of shots. It has take me a few days to recover from the evening. But it will be one that I remember FOREVER!!
I'M ENGAGED!! YIPPEE!!!!!!
