Bobby is slick! He hid his amazing proposal plan from me for weeks. Little to say I was clueless and truly overwhelmed once I realized what was going on!
We were having dinner on the famous River Street of Savannah just enjoying the awesome weather and each other's company. The street was a little busy and there were lots of friends passing by since we were all in town for an Emergency Management Conference. There was a saxophone player across the street from where we were eating who had been entertaining us all evening. When dinner ended Bobby asked if I would walk across the street to where the saxophone player was set up. At first I said "No, I'm good right here" but Bobby insisted! We started to dance and I noticed him reaching for his pocket.... I saw his lips moving but I'm not exactly sure what was said. The entire world around us disappeared and all I could think of was "This is really happening!" He got down on one knee and I couldn't even catch my breath. Somehow I managed to shake my head and stutter out a "Yes!". When the fog lifted I could hear cheers all around us. Our best friends were hidden nearby filming the whole thing, a sweet lady who'd been eating next to us was snapping a thousand pictures, and people all around River Street and on restaurant balconies were all cheering us on! It was amazing! I think I hugged everyone on the street, thanked the academy, and cried my way back to my seat where our waitress had an amazing dessert and congratulations waiting for us.
