It was August 12th, 2008 there 2 year dating anniversary. Ruthie woke up to see a bouquet pink roses, she smiled to herself. There was card, it read:

Ruthie gets dressed and goes downstairs where everyone is eating breakfast.

Ruthie- Martin got me flowers.

Annie- yeah we know, he came in here early this morning, and he is so sweet.

Ruthie- did he tell you what time I should be ready for dinner.

Eric- yeah, he said 7:00pm; he'll pick you up at the house.

Ruthie- I can't wait till 7.

When 7 rolled around Ruthie were dressed in spaghetti strapped black dress with her hair straight and down. She walked downstairs and waited at the door. Martin rang the door bell, and Mrs. Camden opened it. Martin was dressed in a black dress shirt with dress pants. He walked in and looked straight at Ruthie and smiled.

Martin- you look absolutely beautiful.

Ruthie- thank you, I loved the flowers.

Martin- I knew you would. You ready to go?

Ruthie- yeah I am.

He holds her hand and they walk out the door.

Ruthie- bye mom.

Annie- bye.

They get into Martin's car.

Ruthie- so, are you going to tell me where we are going?

Martin- nope, it's a surprise, and keep you eyes closed, on the way there, okay.

Ruthie- okay.

They arrive at a large restaurant called Joseph's. They get out.

Martin- okay were here.

Ruthie opens her eyes.

Ruthie- wow, I've never been here, it looks great.

Martin- it's the place where my parents met.

Ruthie- really, thank you for taking me here.

Martin- your welcome, my mom was a waitress here and my dad came in and, they started talking, and they feel in love with each other instantly.

Ruthie- wow

They walk in; Martin goes up to the hostess.

The hostess leads them to there table.

Martin goes over and pulls Ruthie's chair out for her and she sits down, and then Martin sits down.

Ruthie- this place is great Martin.

Martin- I thought you would like it.

The server comes over and asks them what they want, and leaves.

Their drinks come and they make a toast.

Martin- happy 2 year anniversary Ruthie, I love you.

Ruthie- I love you too.

They clink glasses together.

Their food comes and they eat. After they are done they talk.

Ruthie- the dinner was great.

Martin- yeah it was.

Martin- Ruthie, we have been dating for 2 years and it has been great, I never thought I would be this happy. You're amazing, you're beautiful, and I love you with all my heart. So (Martin gets down on one knee and stands beside Ruthie's chair) will you marry me Ruthie? He opens a small box, to a ring.

Ruthie now smiling and crying looks at Martin and nods yes.

Ruthie- yes I will, I love you.

They hug, and they kiss.

Martin- I love you too.

The whole restaurant is clapping.

Music starts playing. (You and Me- Lifehouse)

Martin- would like to dance?

Ruthie- of course

What day is it
and in what month
this clock never seemed so alive
I can't keep up
and I can't back down
I've been losing so much time

They hold each other close and they look each other in the eyes.
cause it's you and me and all of the people
with nothing to do
nothing to lose
and it's you and me and all of the people
and I don't know why
I can't keep my eyes off of you

Martin- I cannot wait to be married to you.

Ruthie- I can't wait either.
all of the things that I want to say
just aren't coming out right
I'm tripping inwards
you got my head spinning
I don't know where to go from here

cause it's you and me and all of the people
with nothing to do
nothing to prove
and it's you and me and all of the people
and I don't know why
I can't keep my eyes off of you

there's something about you now
I can't quite figure out
everything she does is beautiful
everything she does is right

Martin- I love you.

Ruthie- I love you too.
you and me and all of the people
with nothing to do
nothing to lose
and it's you and me and all of the people
and I don't know why
I can't keep my eyes off of you

you and me and all of the people
with nothing to do
nothing to prove
and it's you and me and all of the people
and I don't know why
I can't keep my eyes off of you

what day is it
and in what month
this clock never seemed so alive

They kiss.
