The Story of My Engagement

From Engagement

A lot of people have been asking how I became engaged. So I decided to post it on here. I'll post a picture of the ring when I get home. So I guess I have to do this for people who have no idea so I'll have to give some background.

J and I met on a video game. And not just any video game. We met on World of Warcraft (or World of Warcrack, as other people call it). We started off as friends and then eventually grew to more and we started talking off of the game and eventually he moved to where I lived.

So fast forward to Halloween Night, 2008. (This is going to be fun explaining for people who don't play WoW.)

On World of Warcraft, you play with other people around the world, so you meet people and you become friends with them. You can talk to these people while you play the game on a voice server called vent. It's just like everybody is in a big room talking. I was out doing quests (jobs for non playable characters) and that night we were supposed to go to a raid (where you and your friends go out killing monsters to get items). I was trying to finish up my quest before the raid and all of a sudden, I get a summon (where somebody can send a message to you and if you accept, you get teleported to wherever they are). I was too busy trying to finish up my quest and I was going to accept the summon when I got done but J kept telling me to accept. Finally i was like, Ok Ok, I'll finish this quest later.

I accepted the summon and I was suddenly teleported not where the raid was supposed to be taking place, but to an air island in Nagrand. Nagrand is an area in the game where J and I spent a lot of time. The sky's are blue, the grass is green, and there are islands in the sky where you can get to if you have a flying mount (an animal you can buy that will let you go faster and it flies). When I was summoned out there, I was suprised because I didn't expect it. As soon as I got out there, J traded with me on game (When a character trades with yours, you can exchange items). He traded with me and it was a ring called Big Rock which is worth 25 gold (not anything to laugh at in WoW). So I was like, wtf? Why is he giving me this, then all of a sudden, I turn around, J is on one knee with the ring, asking me to marry him. Of course I said yes, then I told him I hated him and cussed him out for surprising me. I didn't think he was going to be able to surprise me. All of our friends were cheering and crying. It was perfect

And the funny thing is, J was playing a song in the background called Spooky which has the line in it that says "I'm going to propose.....on Halloween". But of course I don't pay attention so I didn't even realize it.

That proposal was perfect. World of Warcraft is where we met, fell in love, good times, and bad times. We both share friends on there and I'm a huge geek and nerd, so it played perfectly into it. He put so much thought into the proposal i couldn't have asked for anything better. I probably missed something that will confuse some people and if I did, just mention it and I'll clarify. I just love that he knows me, and he knows what I love. It was the most unique perfect proposal ever. Yea, that's my fiance. He's awesome.
