Well after dating for 2 1/2 years, with lot of ups and a few downs Richie was planning on heading over to Bosnia for a 6 month tour. I was so ill prepared and truly not ready by any means to see this man I loved soooo much be leaving for half a year. There was so much stress knowing he was going to leave, so Richie planned a nice evening for the 2 of us, a night to get away, something romantic.
He picked me up from work and drove me to Fantasyland Hotel where he had set the room up with candles and had purchased some nice bottles of wine. We finally had some down time to spend with just us and not stress about his upcoming deployment.
The next morning before we were leaving Richie made us a coffee and told me just to sit and relax while he checked to make sure we wernt forgetting anything.
He reached over to the bed and grabbed a ring box, I was shocked and in disbelief as he got on his knee and made the most amazing speach(although I dont recall exactly what he said since I was bawling) I jumped up and screamed yes and he went to put the ring on my hand ( but I held out the wrong one) we kissed and I cried and was in utter shock and so excited. As we left the hotel I couldnt wait to get to the nearest phone to call EVERYONE I knew.
However a week later Richie was leaving for Bosnia, and through all the fears and tears I also had the excitment of planning our wedding, something I had been invisioning since I was a little girl, and now it would be coming true.
