The Proposal - Angie version

Angie's story...It was a cold and foggy night... Well - It really was...We were on a family vacation in San Francisco - taking an evening tour of Alcatraz Island. We were heading back to the boat and we decide to take a little breather from walking up and down the steep hills. I decided to take a little break on the bench - John decided to gaze at the San Fran skyline.. John calls me over but I don't want to get up - calls again still "No" then finally Bonny gives me a little push to get up. John starts commenting on how beautiful the Golden Gate Bridge is and how the lights are bright and shiny... All the while I'm really looking at the water and seeing how close we are and how the water is disappearing under the fog (I start visualizing fog creatures coming to get us)... John says "Would you like to be locked up together", and I say of course - babe!... John gets on one knee and says "Angie, will you marry me" while holding the ring... I romantically respond... "Are you kidding?", "Are you for real" .. I was thinking so many things.. It didn't seem real - I thought it was a bad joke. He asks again - "Will you marry me?" I said "Of Course, Is there any doubt?". Then he puts the ring on my right hand finger.. We quickly figured out that it was the wrong hand. We hug and kiss and then we go tell Bonny and Peter - Still the idea has not hit me.. Until I see Bonny and I hug her - I start crying like a baby... Reality has hit... BOOM .. I'm going to be married !!!
