Amanda and Dennis
Wedding Date: March 1, 2008
The Proposal
Wow, I remember it like it was just yesterday. On March 14, 2007, Dennis and I had reached our 1yr anniversary of dating. I had planned a beautiful romantic evening to celebrate with this awesome God-Sent man of mine. I wanted to do something special for the both of us since we both just had major surgery 6 weeks prior and needed to get out and enjoy ourselves. Little did I know that the weather would be the deciding factor. It literally stormed that evening and into most of the night. Needless to say we didn't get out that night. Dennis assured me that we would get to celebrate another day. Then 2 days later March 16, 2007, I was feeling a little sad and depressed because my father had passed on this date the year before. So I decided to get out the house to go get my hair braided and maybe I would call my sister to go walk through the mall or something. While at the braid shop, Dennis called me and asked if I wanted to go get something to eat. I said sure! (As he knows I love to eat) He said why don't you call Wanda and Aaron (My sister and brother in law) to see if they want to go. I called them and they were just coming from a church luncheon. I asked her what were they getting ready to do. She said, "Going to eat". I asked ,"Where? " She said, "To get Mexican food". I knew that's what I wanted so I told her to meet us at my favorite place; Pappasitos. Dennis and I met them there and we were seated.( I had no idea that Dennis had planned this with them all along.) Dennis had on his Atlanta Falcons jersey with the number 7 on it. He preceded to tell me to ask my brother in law what the number 7 meant in the bible. You see, Dennis and I had been studying the number 7 and wanted to get another take on it. ( My brother in law is a minister.) He said that it meant COMPLETION. We both agreed and Dennis said, "Absolutely that's what it means, that's why I know you complete me in every way." And all of a sudden he pulls out a ring from under the table and asks me to be his wife. For the first time in all of my life I was speechless. Everyone in the restaurant was waiting on my answer. After about 8 minutes of silence on my behalf, I said YES!!!!! I never did get to eat my food and that's a first.
