The Proposal
Embarcadaro Park, San Diego, CA
St. Patrick's Day 2010. Greg and I had plans to attend the ShamROCK block party in downtown San Diego. We both got home from work threw on our green outfits, and were ready to hit the town! As we were leaving the apartment Greg suggested going for a walk first. We decided to head towards our favorite grassy park by the water with a view of the city, marina, and Coronado Bridge. I noticed Greg was fussing with something in his pocket during the walk but figured it was just his cell phone, little did I know it was a ring box! We sat down and were just shooting the breeze, chatting and goofing around like always. Conversation shifted to our relationship which isn't that out of the ordinary so I didn't think anything of it... until he took a long deep breath and started talking about how he's loved me since high school. He kept talking, got on one knee, at which point I gasped. Of course I started beaming to which he joked, "What? What's wrong?!" He asked me to marry him, I said yes about 50 times, followed by equally as many kisses. We sat there talking, laughing, and grinning 'til our cheeks hurt.
After we called our families, in true Greg and Carrie fashion, we continued on to the St. Patty's block party where we sang, danced, drank green beers, and had a grand time celebrating. It was perfect, start to finish.
