Before you ask, I don’t have pictures. In all honesty, I didn’t think to take them. A few years ago my fiancé proposed to me during our trip to Walt Disney World. We had talked about it, so I knew that it would happen during the trip, but didn’t know how nor the exact day. My fiancé, however, did not expect a thing. I figured that proposals shouldn’t be one-sided. Plus, I don’t think it was fair that custom pretty much dictates only one person gets an engagement ring. I like equality. So, I went and got a ring, and decided to take the opportunity at BlizzCon 2018.

It was down to the final two teams (I forget which) during the PVP Arena World Championship. We love watching it. The atmosphere when you are there to see two groups of people, who have battled for the top spots in a competition, battling it out live is magical. More so when the floor becomes standing room only. Camera crews are running down the aisles, filming the reactions of teams and spectators. It’s wonderful. I had mentioned wanting to make one of those big posters numerous times, but kept getting a, “Why?” response. I excused myself took the opportunity before the game started to make up a proposal poster under the guise of needing the restroom. It read: “Thank you for always being my tank. Will you marry me?”– For reference, he plays tank. I asked, about 5 times, for my now fiancé to read it. The dialogue went something like this:

“Why do I need to read it?”

“Just read it!”

“But why?”

Arrrrrgh. “Just. Read. It.”

Imagine a room roaring with announcers and applause by those supporting their favorite team. He opened the poster, and it took him a minute to figure out what was happening. I was holding the ring, but stayed in my seat. He was so excited! There were other proposals shortly after that were caught on film and put up on the giant screens. We were talking after, and I never thought to involve the media. My fiancé was really happy that I didn’t do that though, because he’s not a fan of that kind of publicity. I was happy he said, “Yes!” There was no fear that he wouldn’t, but as they say, “Never say never“.

Do we have a date set? Nope. We’ve been engaged for a few years, and don’t have a need to get married right away. We are planning, lazily, and nothing will be set in stone until we get a few things taken care of. Plus, with everything going on right now, there is no reason to make plans.

Peace & Love, always!
