Show Us Your Proposal...

Joe and I met on Match.com in December and by July we were very serious. Joe told me that it was FedEx day at the Redbirds game. I was excited because we love going to baseball games downtown. About a week before the game, Joe told me that they had a contest at work and he won: We would get to be the "Ashley Fine Furniture Fans of the Game" and get to sit on a special couch. I was a little nervous about this.....not quite sure how I feel having all that attention on me...

We were running late to the game and several friends were with us. As soon as we walked into the stadium we were greeted by the Red Hots cheerleaders (Joe later told me that if I had said "No", he would have proposed to one of them...). They had us sit on a couch and told us that a camera would be coming over in a few minutes and that we would be on the jumbo-tron for being the fans of the game. When it finally happened we were waving and smiling and then the announcer said "Joe has something that he wants to ask Sarah". Then this happened....

I was so excited!! Everyone says that I pounced on Joe....I don't remember that. Turns out our friends were involved in the whole thing!

Look at my skinny arms....dang!!

We look soooo young!! I can't believe that this was 5 years ago! Next Joe had another surprise for me....my whole family (and I mean whole family:uncles, aunts, cousins, etc.) and friends too were up in one of the private boxes with food, drinks and cake. They had seen the whole thing! It meant so much to me that the people we cared about most (especially my parents) had been there to share this awesome moment. Joe did such a good job and continues to surprise me everyday :) How did YOU get engaged?
