On August 27th, 2005 My mom, sister and I went down to San Bernadino to look for wedding dresses. I know, we looked for dresses BEFORE I was actually engaged. (but i knew we were getting married) I just didn't have the ring yet. That same day, Mike went ring shopping with his parents. I found the perfect dress!
That night, Mike came over and we decided to go to concerts in the park down at central park. When we were there, Mike told me that he needed me to go ring shopping with him again, because he didn't know what I wanted, blah blah blah...I told him that I didn't care what kind of ring. All that we looked at were pretty! So I dropped the ring talk. As we were eating, Mike asked me what I would do if he got up on stage and professed his love for me in front of everyone. I told him that I would be so embarrassed. So we continued to eat and enjoy the music. I don't really remember who was playing, but they were playing really random songs. They seemed like old men playing newer songs and I wanted to see what they looked like. So anyway, I said to Mike that we should go up closer and see what they looked like. He said OK! So we went up and danced and had so much fun. After a little bit, Mike said he had to go to the bathroom. So he went, and I waited. When he came back we danced a little more. Then he said he saw someone that he knew that he had to go talk to. I asked if I could come, he said no. I was a little bummed but thought nothing of it. After like 15 minutes, the concert ended and the announcer told everyone that he had a good friend Mike Carr who had something to say. I was shocked!! My heart was pounding. He got up on stage with the microphone and said, "There is someone special out in the audience that he wanted them to meet" So I went up there feeling nervous, and shocked, and he continued saying, "that Anna is the most beautiful girl in the Santa Clarita Valley. And Anna, the past eight months or so, have meant the world to me, and I have had so much fun. I want everyone in the audience to know how much I love you. I promise I will never let you go if you answer this one question." He then got down on one knee, opened up a ring box, which by the way had the most beautiful ring ever! And asked, "Anna, will you marry me?" I said yes! Then he got up and gave me a big hug and kiss in front of everyone! So while he was saying all these nice things about me, the thoughts that were going through my mind, were those of I really hope hes not proposing to me with out a ring! So I was totally shocked when I saw my engagement ring. We went off stage in the back and he put my ring on. It was so pretty and I was still feeling totally shocked. As we walked back to where we were, We felt like rock stars. Everyone was cheering for us and saying congratulations. To this day, there are still people who tell my mom that, "that was your daughter?" Once we got to our seats, my parents and sister were there to congratulate us.
So when Mike came to pick me up, he asked my dad for permission and showed my family the ring. He also told my dad that he was going to propose to me at the concert. As we left for the concert, I asked my family if they were going. They said that they would meet us there. So my family, knowing that Mike was going to do this, they didn't bring the camcorder!! Can you believe that? Man, I wish we had it on tape! That night was so fun. When we left, we went to Mike's parent's house to show them the ring and tell them the good news. August 27th was a very good day!
