A Second Proposal - Yes, you Read that Right!

So... FH did the most romantic thing the other day, and I have to share this story, but you need the history to make sense.

FH's First Proposal

The night before my birthday last year, my girlfriends called to ask me my plans to celebrate. I suddenly realized - I had no plans. They wanted to go out for dinner and drinks, which sounded great, but I realized FH ( my then boyfriend of 3 years) hadn't made plans with me and was disappointed.

I reached out to him to tell him that I would be going to dinner with my girlfriends the next night (my bday). He asked 'Why?' He apparently forgot it was my birthday.

I got really upset he completely spaced my birthday.

He got panicked he forgot, jealous I was going out with friends, and upset. FH started suddenly acting possessive, without making any plans - counter offer noting no like ' I thought we would go out' nada.

So we got into a huge fight on my birthday, because he was acting jealous possessive of me going out with girlfriends on my birthday. After he totally forgot.

The Reason

He was so focused on planning to propose. He forgot my birthday. Oops!

He wound up coming with me, and 3 girlfriends to dinner last year. At the end of my birthday dinner, I called his name while he was chatting with one of them - FH whips around- I see a picture of a diamond ring on his phone?

What?

So then I knew what was afoot. But I was so pissed at him. He proposed at the I-Con convention. I said yes, but was so pissed at the time.

I might have (okay, a few times) mentioned it would have been nice to been proposed to when I wasn't pissed at him.

A Second Try

So, this weekend was the ICON convention at Stony Brook University. We have spent the weekend volunteering as staff, working our asses off, laughing with friends, going out to dinner - having a great weekend.

At 5 p.m. Sunday, right before the convention is about to end - I'm in Student center. A bunch of my friend are there, we're in a big group, laughing, joking having a good time - I'm snuggled with FH.

But he should have been leaving for work. He was running late.

He pulls me close, and as I warn him to get headed to work, he tells me he has to do one thing.....

He stood on a chair, and called for close to 300 people's attention, Asking them for silence.

FH: ' As some of you might know, a year ago today I asked this beautiful, intelligent woman besides me to marry me. She said yes, and we're now planning to get married next year....

Man in crowd shouts out: Here, at Icon?

We both laughed

FH: 'No, not at Icon. But.... To show how much I love her, and that I would do it all again...'

FH then stepped down off the chair.. and quietly, asked me if I would marry him.

He entirely shocked me, and teary eyed, I hugged him and said yes.

<3 my FH.
