I don’t exactly know why, but when I was thinking about asking my girlfriend to get married, I was getting really nervous. Since we had been together for such a long time and I knew that I was completely in love with her, it seemed strange to me that I kept getting so nervous about popping the big question to her. However, even though there were times when I had worked myself up into quite a frenzy over this issue, I eventually made up my mind that I was going to ask her to be my wife. The funny thing about all of my stress is that when the time came for me to actually propose, things couldn’t have gone more smoothly.

Since I was so nervous, I had planned everything out in advance. Because of this, all of the things that I wanted to happen did go as I hoped. By the time I asked her if she would marry me, she was so happy that she didn’t hesitate to say yes. Once I got my answer, I put her marquise diamond engagement ring onto her finger, and I honestly felt like I was on the top of the world.
