Well, God does answer prayers. On July 19th BigCat proposed!!!! It was a sweet proposal after date night. It was sooo cute how nervous he got as he got down on one knee, as if I was possibly going to say no. LOL Of course I said YES!!! But here are the official details!!!
It was a Friday night date night. We rarely go out on Friday nights but BigCat suggested that we try something new for dinner. The next thing I know we have a reservation for the Red Pony in downtown Franklin, TN. The night was a perfect summer evening and downtown historic Franklin is like taking a trip back in time with it's brick sidewalks and quaint old school feeling. It was really quite romantic as we held hands walking the the streets before dinner going into the cute little shops that line the downtown area. The Red Pony was delicious and was perfect for our romantic date night! We capped the night off with some icecream and just enjoyed the warm summer evening strolling back towards our car. I had wondered earlier in the evening if maybe "tonight was the night" but the night just kept slipping later and later with no sign of a proposal so I just enjoyed the company and kept my suspicions to myself. But I knew something was up…. he wouldn't take one of his hands out of his pocket all night… It really made a girl wonder. LOL but it was a little after 10, if he was going to propose he would have done it by now, right? With the car in sight we come up to the soldier monument in Franklin Square. We look around at the monument and BigCat and I embrace below the statue and slowly start slow dancing to our own song. He starts twirling me over and over and then out of no where he gets down on one knee and then it was happening. He pulled the ring out of pocket and asked me to be his wife. I honestly couldn't believe it was actually happening. The ring was perfect, the night was perfect and were the happiest people in the whole wide world that moment in time.
Now time for wedding planning!!!
