SHE SAID YES 🌈 So, I’ve been planning this proposal for 3 months. Tegan and I have had a kind of unspoken agreement that should one of us propose, it’d be her doing the proposing. However, I wanted to beat her to it & surprise her. She had recently asked if 4-6 months from now would be too soon, so I knew my September plan would work. I’ve been conspiring with my lovely friend, Oceanna (Thank you. I love you. You’re my hero.), who made my set up happen. Tegan and I have been wanting to go up to Maloney Peak together for a long time, but haven’t wanted to take Oliver because *yikes* unpredictable toddler & cliffy mountain tops don’t mesh well. Anyway, I knew if Oliver had a slumber party with his nana the night before, it wouldn’t seem suspicious that I’d have this spontaneous last minute idea to go to Maloney Peak together in the morning. I waited for the all-clear text from Oceanna, who I had given all of my things to be taken up (along with specific instructions and an illustration because of who I am as a person), and then we headed up. She suspected nothing and I made her walk ahead of me to comfort my fear of a bear or something being up ahead. When she came upon the layout, she thought it was for someone else and was like “Babe, we should go.” When she turned around, I was on one knee with the ring box open. She immediately started sobbing and kept saying, “Wait what?” over and over. Then I played “our song,” Cat Power’s “Sea of Love” in my pocket and we slow danced and cried. When the song ended, there was a rainbow!!! I let her know that I asked her parents permission and that my friends were in on it, too. I’m so glad everyone was able to help me keep this secret because she was truly shocked. The ring was also delivered to the wrong address and was “missing” for 8 days before I had it in my possession, which caused me a great deal of anxiety. It was such a hard secret to keep from her. I love her so much and am beyond grateful to have her in Oliver and my’s lives, for the rest of our days. Our meeting was fate; I don’t care how cliche or cheesy that sounds—it’s true. Thank you, universe. 🖤🌈✨
