Eric took me out and surprised me with a fancy dinner at James at the Mill, just north of Fayetteville. For the drive, he had compiled a nice CD of jazz music since he knows I like to listen to jazz on XM radio during the evenings when we're out driving around.
After dinner we drove around town waiting on Eric's "surprise" to be set up with the help of his friends Collin and Brett (thanks again guys!!!!!). Eric then drove us around to Wilson Park where I could see several candles almost lighting one of the back fields on fire! We circled around to the back of the park and he slowed the car down and told me to look out the window. Candles filled the center of the field, spelling out "Marry Me?". We got out of the car, he took my hand, and told me that there were 120 tea candles in white bags spelling that out. Then, he got down on one knee, told me how much I mean to him, and proposed. It was the sweetest thing ever!
