Chapter 2
As soon as they had both finished their dinner and dessert, Andrew glanced outside. "Snow--this is the perfect time to do it." he thought
"Hey," he said "why don't we take a nice, romantic stroll in Central Park. It's a beautiful site this time of year."
"Yeah, that sounds wonderful" she replied. They walked out of the restuarant arm in arm, and headed to the park, which wasn't too far away. Once they got there, they walked around a little bit, enjoying just being together. They ended up at Bethesda Fountain, and sat down on the edge of it. Snow was falling all around, and lightly covering the branches of the trees, not to mention everything else around them.
"Wow, this is amazing. It's absolutely beautiful" she said, leaning her head against his shoulder. "Yeah, it really is, but not nearly as beautiful as you" he replied,as he wrapped an arm around her, and kissed her. After they parted, she looked up at him, smiled, and said "You know, this night has been so magical, I never want it to end. I wish that we could just stay like this forever" That's all he needed to hear.
"Then why don't we?" He got up and walked around in front of her, and got down on one knee. As soon as she realized what he was about to do, her hand flew up to mouth--she couldn't believe this was really happening.
He continued. "Margaret, when we first met, I never would have imagined that we would be here,at this things have changed alot since then--for the better. Back then, I didn't think that I would have ever wanted to be with you, or that I really needed you. Now, after having experienced all the ups and downs that we have together,I've come to realize just how much I really DO. I always knew that something was missing in my 's always been you--and I never truly realized it until now. takes out, and opens up a small box, revealing a beautiful 5 carat diamond ringMargaret Tate, you are the best thing that has ever happened to me, and I promise to love you with all that I am for the rest of our lives. Will you marry me?"
"You know I love you more than anything. So the answer is yes! Nothing would make me happier." He smiled, before gently
picking up her left hand and carefully slipping the ring on her finger. She then jumped up, wrapped her arms around his neck, he wrapped
his around her waist, and together they shared a passionate kiss.
"I love you so much right now" he said, looking deep into her eyes, their foreheads touching.
"I love you more" she replied, right before they leaned in to share another kiss.
End of flashback
All of a sudden, she was snapped out of her little daydream by the sound of the door closing, and someone coming in.
"Margaret, It's almost time. Are you ready?" Grandma Annie asked.
"I've never been more ready for anything else in my life" she replied.
"Okay, let's go then. They walked through the doors, and stood outside the entrance to the "sanctuary" area of
the barn, and waited. Waited for the music to begin, waited for the moment when she would begin her walk down the
aisle, at the end of which would mark the beginning of a whole new, and happier, life for her. And she couldn't wait.
