My now husband has always been so caring, honest, loyal and has never had trouble putting a smile on my face even in the roughest times. There are countless memories I can think of that we have shared that still make my heart skip a beat: from our first date when he came to pick me up and brought me a dozen pink roses with a note attached that said, "Will you be my gal? Check yes or yes", to the date he took me on a luminary walk through the botanical gardens, to the multiple nights of dancing in his little apartment kitchen to old country songs. But the ONE extra special day that he made me know that he was THE ONE is when he asked me if I would like to go on a picnic with him. 

He picked me up with his cooler in the back seat and we went to the grocery store to get some things to take for our lunch. All through the store he was scatterbrained. It was a bit frustrating at the time because we would have to go from one side of the store ALL the way back to the other, and then BACK to where we began because he kept forgetting things! I had no clue what was so distracting for him. I knew I was wearing a cute blouse, but that shouldn't have gotten to him that much! After all the chaos at the grocery store, we headed to our picnic at a location that was still a surprise me. He ended up taking me the Red Bridge where we had "locked our love" earlier that year on Valentine's Day. He told me that we were going to eat lunch under the shade tree and then we would go down to the bridge to see our lock. His nerves were too haywire by this point so we dropped off the cooler under the tree and walked to the bridge. As we stood there reminiscing about when we first put the lock on, our first date, and etc., he knelt down and said, "Brittany will you be my gal forever?" With both us teary-eyed, I managed to say yes really quickly before he swept me up in his arms and gave me a kiss. I will never forget all of our special little moments, but especially that moment.
