Give us the proposal details! When? Where? How?
Anthony planned to propose on St. Patrick’s day but two days before, I was in the emergency room having to get my appendix taken out! The next day, I left the hospital after surgery but got really sick. I was sick all night long, throwing up every 10-15 min with a severe migraine. Anthony never left my side except for a few hours when he said he had to do some “errands”. The next morning, he came down dressed like a leprechaun and said that I “had to go upstairs because he set a leprechaun trap” and wanted me to see it. I thought he was out if his mind because I felt horrible, but still went. He laid out the hallway in green tissue paper, had Irish music playing and transformed our living room into a St. Patricks day celebration. I laid on the couch. (He told me to leave my puke bucket behind and I realized later that it was because he was secretly videotaping it!) He gave me an Xbox game cover he hand-made that said, “Will you marry me?!” and my ring was hanging inside. Of course I said, “Yes!” I then went back to the hospital because I was still very sick, unable to keep anything down. The nurses and doctors there that I had been dealing with the last few days all surprised me and gave me flowers to congratulate us!
