My boyfriend Joseph and I meet in college. I was focused on my studies but really found Joseph to be charming and attractive. We forged a friendship through a mutual friend. I was one quarter ahead of him in classes so when it came time for me to graduate I invited him to my graduation party. He came to my party and the next day we started seeing each other. One of the first places we visited together was the Boardwalk out on the Kemah Waterfront. We watched the evening sky with it’s big cumulus clouds moving along like a parade.
Fast-forward to two years later . It’s our two year dating anniversary and I receive a beautiful vase of flowers on the job–pretty stargazer lilies and purple irises with a note attached that says, "Live, Laugh, Love! Happy Anniversary Love Joseph." About a half hour later I receive a single red rose with a note attached that says, "Meet me where we watched the cloud parade." After work I drive out to Kemah and along the Boardwalk I’m walking to our place and I see Joseph wearing a nice white outfit with a monogrammed kerchief. He looks handsome. He asks me if I’m pleased with the way the past two years have been. We talk some more and I comment on how nice his kerchief is and asked if he had it made. He says to me, "Just for this occassion," and pulls it from his pocket to place on the ground where he then gets down on bended knee and pulls a box from his pocket. He opens it and looks up at me with that handsome face of his and says, "Stephanie, will you be my wife?" to which I reply with a teary and ecstatic "Yes!Yes!Yes!".
