Present
"Babe, are you ok?" Julia's words pull you back to the present. You look up and see the concern in her face.
"Yea I'm fine I promise. I was just taking a walk down memory lane." you tell her and smile.
She smiles back and says "When you told me it was you that was my noncaps anon" she smiles.
"You know me so well" you tell her.
"Of course" she says with a teasing smile.
"Come on, I wanna catch the sunset" you say as you grab her hand. The two of you begin to walk to the now, and soon to be, very special 'U' shaped structure. You are so nervous and it takes you all you have to keep from shaking. You know she'd notice and worry. Remember to breathe, you tell yourself over and over again.
The two of you take the same walk you took three years ago as well as several other times, but you can't focus on anything but the beautiful woman beside you.
You finally reach the structure right around the time the sun starts it's slow descent in the sky. Being the gentlewoman that you are, you let her go up first. The view you get is great so you really don't mind.
Once at the end you both stop and watch the sun. This truly is one of the most beautiful places you've ever been and when the sun hits a certain spot in the sky it has the most beautiful pinks and oranges. In the very same spot you handed her that note three years ago, you turn her around softly and drop to one knee.
"Oh my god Anni, what are you doing?" Julia asks, as you take her left hand and look up and meet her eyes.
"Julia White, I love you more than anything or anyone on this earth. I've loved you from the moment I handed that note to you in this very spot three years ago. I love everything about you. From the little insecurities that you try to hide to the silly side that comes out when you're sleepy. I love how you always try to make sure the people you love and care about always know that they are important. I love how you snuggle into me at night and sigh before we go to sleep. Just everything about you. And everyday I fall deeper and deeper in love with you, which I never dreamt was possible. I finally found my soulmate. You really are the Juliet to my Romeo. I will always love you. So it would make my whole world if you'd do me the greatest honor of being my wife?" you rush the last bit as you struggle for a second, because of your nerves, to get the ring box out and open it in front of her.
"Yes, yes, yes, a million times yes. Proudly so." she says with tears of joy streaming down her face. You stand up and she pulls you into the tightest hug ever.
"I love you so much." you tell her.
"I love you too" she answers back.
And there as the two of you watch the sun disappear completely out of the sky you can't believe how amazingly lucky you are. Not only did you find the woman of your dreams but now she's going to be your wife. And you also think now the fun begins. Luckily you'll have loads of time and lots of family and friends to help with all the planning. But for now, it's time to go celebrate with your fiancée.
