Yes, it's true. I am engaged to be married to Christopher Terao Silva.
I was in the middle of writing my account of the full proceedings of the engagement, but I just read his incredibly comprehensive report on his blog and I think I'll refer you there.
I don't even have any of those "that's not the way it went, let me tell you how it really happened..." additions. He got it spot on.
I will add that I thought there was no way he would surprise me. I knew it was coming and I had my nails done every night in anticipation. I was watching him like a hawk for any signs that something was coming. And I thought for sure that I knew him well enough to recognize something special brewing in his mind. Turns out he's an awesome liar and I don't know him at all. Oooo, a man of mystery. I like that too.
The "the ring isn't going to be ready for another two weeks" move was the clincher. I knew it was true and it crushed me. Another two weeks of keeping this a secret? I had already resigned myself to believing that he was waiting until Thanksgiving to propose to me in California just like he had been dreaming of since he was five, (Boys don't do that?) but another two weeks might have killed me.
When we walked through that door into the dining room and I saw this gorgeous display and knew immediately what was happening. I threw my arms around Chris and cried tears of joy (something he's going to have to get used to, just like I'll cry through my whole wedding... just like I'm crying right now.)
I am so excited to marry him. He is such a great man and I feel incredibly blessed to even know him. He is so patient and humble and I'm just drawn to his positive, energetic approach to life. Can't wait to start our life together come March.
Thanks for the romantic dinner, Chris, and the best gift of my life. I will remember that day forever.
