Last New Year's Eve Sam asked me to marry him. I told him then that I was not ready to get married again, that I had not fully healed from the first time, and that if he still wanted me, to ask again in six months.
When he took me to dinner last night at the same romantic restaurant where we went on our first date, I figured that perhaps that was a sign that he did indeed still want me.

Yes, he asked again, in that bashful but confident manner of his that just makes me melt. And yes, I said, like Molly Bloom at the end of Ullyses, yes, I said, yes,yes,yes.

I love him so much. I love him more than I ever thought I could love anyone, he has lifted my heart into a whole new realm. And the way we has stood beside me during the last couple of months has shown me the true nature of his character. This is the man I have always longed for, the man I want to call husband, the man I want to be father to my children.

~~Some day my prince will come
Some day we'll meet again
And away to his castle we'll go
To be happy forever I know

Some day when spring is here
We'll find our love anew
And the birds will sing
And wedding bells will ring
Some day when my dreams come true ~~

We stayed up half the night talking about all the issues involved with getting married.

We are not going to have a big wedding, I did that before and it was a nightmare. We will have a simple ceremony with a few friends and family. Sam went and bought that expensive Hawaiian cruise for my birthday, so we will get married in late September and that will be our honeymoon.

We want to have at least one baby, the sooner the better. I am not getting younger.

No, I will not change my name again. I offered to compromise and take his name if we could both put an -ski on the end of it, but he rejected that, so I remain CarolineOh and will not become CarolinePee.

We will live in my apartment for awhile, but will want to get a house before we have a baby. This place is a condo, I own it, and it's value has gone up quite a bit in the last couple of years, so I ought to make a nice profit. For those who know Detroit, we are hoping to find something we can afford in the Indian Village area.

We are going to go tell my Mom this afternoon. I sincerely hope no one in my family raises any objections, but if they do, that is their problem, it won't deter us a bit. I know my sister Elizabeth will be on our side, she has told me over and over again what an idiot I was for not saying yes the first time.

I am so happy that I feel like I am floating on air. Thank you all for letting me share my happiness with you on this most beautiful of mornings.

Congratulations CarolineOh...it is always great when you find that one special person! :rose:
 
WOW!!!

Congratulations Caroline, you deserve so much happiness and I wish you all the best. Give my best to Sam as well. He's a lucky guy.
(Are you really going to jump the broom? I think that would be really cute.) :)

I'm so glad I logged on today to see this.
Thanks for letting us share your joy. I am delighted for you both.:rose: :kiss: :heart:
 
Thank you all for your kind wishes.
Mona, I think it would really be fun to include jumping the broom, and so, why not?:)
 
Caroline, that is the most wonderful news.
Best wishes, to the both of you.:rose:
 
My side of this story.
I don't know why she had any doubtd that I would ask again, I planned to ask again every six months until either she said Yes or the Lord took me, in which case she would have me asking her through eternity.
I don't care if she takes my name, as long as she takes my hand. I love her with all my heart and soul. I would walk through the fires of Hell for her, so walking down the aisle is not going to be a thing.
This is how I want to live my life, with her.

I appreciate all your good wishes, thank you.
 
best wishes!!

foe both of you, it sounds to me like you are both very happy i wish you lots of good times ahead!!!

No one could say no to this.
Caroline, you're so lucky.

P.S. the knot.com has great wedding suggestions.
Maybe even the Martha Stewart 'Weddings' book if you can stomach it.

Need Honeymoon suggestions?
 
About those fires of hell...

I don't see those anywhere in your future together! ;)

So so excited for both of you. What a great life together you have in store! Caroline, you have a pm.
 
Most Excellant news to wake up to.

Congratulations CarolineOh May you have a long and happy life together.
