How We Got Engaged

It was Labor Day weekend of 2007. I planned a romantic steak dinner which included one of Jaime′s favorite desserts- a banana royale! Well the night somehow did not go as planned.Once the steaks were off the grill and the table was prepared, Jaime was busy talking on the phone with family because her cousin Jesse was in labor. While making the desert, preparing for the proposal, we received the call with news of the birth of baby girl Amiyah! All the while, the icecream was starting to melt.

After Jaime finished her conversation, I arranged the bananas as if it were Jaime's hand and placed the ring on the ″ring finger.″ I took the dessert into Jaime and got down on one knee, looked up and asked her to marry me. She had a look of confusion on her face so I pointed to the ring... And then she said, ″Are you for real?″ I told her I was and pointed to the ring AGAIN. Jaime repeated the same question, immediately grabbed the ring, licked the whip cream off and then she said yes.
