I already posted this, so I'll just copy/paste. BTW, my wife thought we were just going to walk into a jewelry store and pick out her ring and buy it, meaning we were engaged, but I did this instead. Note... I never told her we would do the jewelry store thing, she just told me that after we had gotten engaged. Anyway, here goes...

My wife knew I did`nt like going out much and stuff, so when I asked her to go out on a rainy, windy, almost hurricane-like conditions night to go see the big Christmas tree in New York, she said yes. We were at her house at 9 or 10PM and the weather would have kept anyone inside that night, the Ice skating rink was even closed that night (2 days before Christmas) because of the horrible conditions. My plan was to somehow propose to her under the tree or on the ice right next to the tree, but since the rink was closed, I had to think of something else really quick.
We walked around a little bit while the gears were spinning in my head. All this time she had no idea. Then we saw some street vendors by the tree who took pictures of you with whatever happened to be there. I thought I would ask him to snap a pic WHILE I was asking/proposing to her, that would have made an awesome thing to have for memories. As I got closer to the guy, he did`nt seem to speak english too well, so I ditched that plan... lol I did`nt wanna take any chances, I could only do this once. Keep in mind there`s strong winds and rain is practically horizontal and COOOOLD.
THEN IT HAPPENED, I see a horse and buggy ride where you go all around the city sitting in the back, that was what I would do. We get in and start going all around, at midway or so, I start telling her how happy she`s been making me and all the stuff to precede "the question". lol EVERY single time I started to talk, the driver would ask us some stupid ass question like "So, you on vacation?" or "How`s everything so far?" or... something to keep me from proposing! dman him!!!
Anyway, he finally shuts up for 2 minutes straight and I got on one knee and proposed while we were riding in the horse and carraige in the middle of New York City 2 days before Christmas. SHE SAID YES. and was very happy and excited. As I was down on one knee asking, a limo beside us rolled down their window and snapped a picture of us. lol They rolled the window back up, and took off, I never saw them again. I wish I had THAT pic.
We were engaged for about 2 years and married for 8 now.
We have sex every single Christmas. It`s coming soon, I can`t wait, 12 months of waiting is hell.
