Tonight was our one year anniversary. It was practically ruined and looked doom from the start with my step-dad's little fit he threw and then my boyfriend's ex-girlfriend throwing one as well. We were set to have a dinner over ooVoo but that ended up being different, because of some things that went down tonight. We still got on ooVoo. However, before that, he called me from his brother's phone and wanted to have a serious talk with me about some of the events of the night. He ended up proposing and saying let's get married when you come back. At first, I didn't say yes or no. Then, later on Facebook, I asked him if the offer still was in place. He said his proposal still stood. I said yes, let's get married. I asked if he wanted to tell people and at first, he was hesitant, because of the simple fact that his side can get kind of "ruthless" as he put it. They had a lot of commentary on our relationship when we started, but I told him now that we've seen each other in person and had our visits and all this other stuff. So, we get on ooVoo tonight and I was like, "You didn't say anything about our anniversary" and he did a screen-share and said "I wanted to surprise you, but.." and it was this long status that my friends and family and I couldn't see. Only his friends and family could see it. It was a long post about our anniversary and us being together for a year and wanting to marry me. Then, I said "So we're telling people?". He smiled and said yes.
It's been a rough day. Earlier, he was afraid of losing me, but here we are, officially engaged, a year later, instead of just talking about it...we don't have a date and there's no ring, but I don't care. I told him I didn't care. A ring is a material thing to me. One of my friends posted about how her boyfriend of two years proposed to her and gave her all this stuff and he got upset that he couldn't do it, but I said just do what's in your heart. It's not about the material to me, but we're officially engaged and I do think this day is a true testament to our relationship. We woke up with shit flying on both sides and we came out stronger than them.
