On Valentine's Day 2004, my boyfriend and I had a low key dinner and watched a movie together. We'd been together for 5 years and were completely broke, so we didn't have any big plans for Valentine's Day. I gave him his gift and he handed me a little stuffed lion (I love lions) and I thought we were done. At about 11:00pm he asked me if I wanted the rest of my gift. I was a little confused, especially when he said, "It was too big to fit in the house so you have to go into the backyard." I started walking out through our pitch black kitchen and was peeking through the window over our kitchen sink only to see "Will You Marry Me?" lit up in red and white Christmas lights on our back fence. I stopped dead in my tracked and when I turned around, Chris was on one knee and was holding up my dream engagement ring. I was speechless as he made a little speech and slipped the ring on my finger. I was shaking and crying when I finally realized what had happened...I said yes of course!!
