An Engagement Story

A few weeks before fest season started my boyfriend asked me if I wanted to go on a day trip one weekend so that we didnt end up at fest every weekend and I said that was a good idea so I would look up some places to go. When I suggested that we go to Luxembourg said boyfriend thought it would be better to go to Paris instead since we are going there this summer but  there is too much to see in three days so we should go have a preview. Which I completely bought because Im oblivious.
Fast forward a couple weeks and we were on a train at 6 in the morning to Paris. As we neared our destination Jordan was asking me what we should go see first--at my insistance that anything was fine he suggested that we go to the eifel tower first. After a bit of confusion we got there and it was pretty exciting for me. Unfortuately it was cloudy but the eifel tower was still beautiful. As I was starving I got something to eat and then we headed up to the front of the over look. And as I looked and ate Jordan ran around taking pictures.
Then he did something weird he asked me to take a picture of him--which I did.
Then he asked me to tell him what was on a sign WAY out in the distance(I thought there were protesters)
Once I realized it had my name on it I wouldn't tell him what I thought it said since I thought I was wrong, but then he started sing I want to grow old with you and with the help of pictures let me know that my family approved and that he wanted to spend the rest of his life with me. Then he got down on one knee pulled out a ring and said something or other that must have been very sweet because it had me nodding my head yes.

Honestly it's still a bit like a dream--but the best dream ever and one I hope never to wake up from.
