Boys and Girls Marriage Company

“Aaron and I have been best friends for about 5 years and we started dating about two years ago.  Our relationship started out long distance, with us flying back and forth between Baltimore, Maryland and Denver, Colorado every three months. After over a year of that, I finally moved to Colorado to be with him in July of 2008.

My birthday is February 6, and Aaron had planned a surprise for that night this year. We went to dinner in downtown Denver, and then went on a horse drawn carriage ride through downtown.  (The carriage was the surprise; it was something I had always wanted to do, but I had mentioned it back when Aaron and I were only friends.  He remembered!)

I learned later that he had the ring in his pocket that whole ride, ready to ask, but the lady who was driving the horse talked the ENTIRE 45 minute ride! Not only that, she was basically turned around facing us the entire time. Needless to say, Aaron couldn’t ask then. We went out with friends after the ride so that plan got foiled.

The next evening Aaron made one of my favorite meals. We were just hanging out in our sweats, & I was finishing cleaning the dishes when he came in the kitchen and completely caught me off guard by asking me to marry him. It was perfect because it was not expected. He did an AMAZING job, and my ring is beautiful — he had it custom made so it is one-of-a-kind.”
