Paris!!!

inside Paris

view from the top...me and Erik were the only ones who went up. After taking this pic I turned around and Erik was gone. I was yelling for him and finally found him on the other side. He kept moving and telling me to come over here its pretty. I finally was like you ready to go back and he said no, not yet.


After moving positions like 10 times he finally said "I know its my birthday but I have a present for you". He pulled out a box. I said "shut up, shut up!" He got down on one knee and asked me to marry him. I started laughing and crying. He stood back up I think I said yes and he put the ring on. The security guard started clapping and took this pic..

When we got back down the escalator everybody was there waiting on us. His mom had been carrying the ring around all day and gave it to him before we went in Paris. I found out later Erik drove to Alberville last weekend to ask them if he could marry me. He got to mama and daddy's house and they werent' there. He didn't have their numbers so called Megan, Mama and Daddy were in Tuscaloosa. So he asked Daddy's permission in the airport in Birmingham before we left. The conversation went like this...Erik: "So I love your daughter she means the world to me and I've known this since New Orleans...can I ask her to marry me on this trip?" Daddy: "that would be great. How's Alabama looking this year?"

Saturday morning (morning of the engagement) Erik had put on a polo. He never wears polos. I was like why are you wearing that. I only made you bring that in case we went somewhere nice to eat you don't have to wear it. He was wearing it cause he was gonna get engaged!
