6 MONTHS (OR HALF A YEAR) LATER:
Alex was ecstatically nervous. Tonight was the big night. He had been planning tonight for weeks. Everything was going to go perfectly. Emily and he were in love; nothing could change that.
Six months ago, and it was hard to believe, Alex had just met Em. He could hardly remember those days. Everything had gone so fast. Now, tonight, he was going to ask the big question and pray that Em didn't think it was too soon.
Alex pulled up to her house, where she and her father had moved four months ago, got out of his car and walked up to the door. His legs felt like jelly. He knocked on the door and Emily opened it right away.
"God, took you long enough," she said.
"Sorry, I almost forgot something at home." He had to. He had been driving for a full five minutes when he remembered he had forgotten the ring. So, he had to drive back all the to the house and his Uncle Jonathon had teased him about frightening Emily away. "But, I'm ready now so let's go."
He took her hand and walked her to his car. "You look really beautiful tonight, Em," he told her. She leaned over and kissed him.
"Thank you," she said.
"Do you kiss me now, every time I say you look beautiful?" She nodded so he said, "You look beautiful." And she kissed him again. He did that two more times then stopped because she slapped him.
"Don't take advantage of it or I wont do it anymore!" she told him.
They had a really nice time on their date. The restaurant was perfect, the conversation was perfect, and everything was going to plan. On the way home, he stopped at their spot in the park.
"Oh, now this wasn't on the schedule," said Emily.
"It's a little surprise I made up just for you," Alex responded. They got out of the car and walked around a little bit. When they got to a secluded spot, Alex told Emily to wait a moment. She looked at him in surprise when he got down on one knee and pulled the ring out of his pocket.
"Emily," he said, "I know we've only known each other for six months, but those were the happiest times of my life thanks to you. I want both of our lives to be happy for the rest of them, so please, Em, tell me you love me as much as I love you and say you'll marry me."
"Oh, Alex," she whispered. "Of course I'll marry you! I love you so much!" With that, Alex put the ring on her finger, and she pulled him up and kissed him for a full five minutes. "Let's go tell our parents!" she cried.
So they went, laughing, back to his car and drove to his parent's house and told them the news.
"Mum, dad," Alex began, "we're engaged!" Rick and Evie took it exactly as they imagined. Evie started to cry happy tears, and Rick slapped Alex on the back. They congratulated them and Evie started talking to Emily about helping out with the wedding plans. After a while Alex and Emily decided they should go and tell Emily's father.
John reacted exactly like Rick and told Emily how proud he was and told Alex he would be a wonderful addition to their family. John then gave them some time alone which they used to make out. When it had gotten pretty late, Alex left and told Emily he'd be back tomorrow.
Alex and Emily decided to set the wedding date for June 24, which was 3 ½, months away from now. They began to make plans right away. John had gone digging through the trunks in the basement and surprised Emily by finding her mothers wedding dress, which her father wished her to wear. Emily of course agreed and John was the happiest man alive, except for of course maybe Alex.
Rick and Evie did their fair share too, by finding the perfect spot to hold the wedding and the perfect place to get a cake. Alex and Emily decided that they only wanted to have family and a few close friends at the wedding. Everything was going smoothly.
