China Barbie gets engaged!
I'M ENGAGEEEEEEED!!!!!!!!!!!
China Barbie's Engagement Ring!
Right about now, you might be saying to yourself, "Hold on, is he proposing in the middle of the food court in a mall?!" If you were asking that, you are correct! But it's not just any old food court in any mall, on some random day, no no no, my man is too wonderful for that! Now, in order for me to tell this story, I'll have to take us back to Black Friday 2008, in the Belden Village Mall Food Court. It was 2 in the morning, and me, my mom, and my sister were sitting in the food court taking a coffee break from our black Friday shopping. I was talking to my sister, when I looked up, and in slow motion (I'm not even joking, it was like a movie, I literally saw it in slow motion), saw the most gorgeous man I had ever seen, walking through the food court. I just sat, frozen in my seat, mouth open, staring shamelessly. Then (also in slow motion), he turned his head, locked eyes with mine, and winked. Not even joking. This is how me and my man first saw each other. I of course giggled, blushed, and turned away. Him and his group of friends he was with sat a couple tables behind us, and I didn't even notice, because I was so embarrassed at him having caught me gawking at him! Next thing I know, I hear a voice say, "Can I sit here?" I turn around, and of course it's him! Before I left the mall that day, I gave him my number, and we took a picture together, right in the food court (Below!).

The next two years we weren't together on Black Friday, but then Black Friday 2012, we went back to the same spot (right in front of Chick-Fil-A), and took another picture (Below!).

So then this year on Black Friday we went shopping with my mom, my sister, my cousin, and my friend. At two in the morning, Nick nonchalantly suggests that we go to the food court to take "our picture". I didn't think anything of it, so we went to take the picture (Below!).

We took a couple pictures, and I think it's so adorable, that you can tell he's nervous! 
And then I thought that we were done taking pictures, so I turned and said something to my sister...

I am absolutely in love with this picture, because you can actually see him grabbing for the box!
And then this happened...

I was shocked! I was not expecting this at all (and yes, this whole time we had a huge crowd of people surrounding us!)! So being the extremely emotional creature that I am (I cry at commercials. Literally. That Extra Gum commercial with the paper cranes, I break down in tears every time I see it.), I of course start crying...

I said yes, lept into his arms, and the whole crowd started clapping and cheering!

^^^This is the short, story-book version of how he proposed! Hehe.^^^

*Sigh* So there it is! My amazing, wonderful, fairy-tale story of my Prince Charming asking me to spend the rest of my life with him!
