ABOUT KANIKA
I'm a single mom who loves pink and scrapbooking and drum corps.
ABOUT CHRISTOPHER
He's a witty mathmatician who loves drum corps.
HOW WE MET
We met while doing drum corps when we were 16. We couldn't give each other the time of day back then. That was 1992. We did that activity together (along with 200 others) for 3 years then went our separate ways.
Fast forward 7 years.
At another drum corps where we once again 'meet'. We say our 'Hey, how have you been' in 7 years and went on with our days. A year later, a friend of mind called me up to let me know that Chris had a huge crush on me. He is so shy, he would not talk to me until we went on a trip to Chicago and we all traveled together in one SUV. We got to know each other again and things started happening slowly. We have been blissfully in love ever since.
WHEN WE GOT ENGAGED
December 17, 2004
HOW IT HAPPENED
Friday December 17th 2004. Chris is online instant messaging me teasing me about my Christmas present. He said that it had just arrived and he has it in his pocket. It was already wrapped up pretty ready to go, but he can't put it under the tree because I would know exactly what it was as soon as I saw it. I had no idea what the heck he got me. I'm really into scrapbooking and calligraphy, so I thought maybe he got me a set of pens I wanted or something.
That night, we got home at the same time. He couldn't stop being nervous. Finally, I asked him what he's so giddy about. He said he wants to give me my Christmas present now. By then, I was getting nervous too just feeding off his energy. I kept telling him no, I wanted to wait, why would I want my Christmas present before Christmas? We kept talking about it until we were ready to go to bed. He asked me one last time if I wanted it now, I said 'Ok, yes, I want it now' because I knew he wanted to give it to me already.
He put the beautifully wrapped box on my pillow .... it took my breath away. My hands are now shaking. He said 'This is it, this is why I didn't want to wait til Christmas' .... I opened it, it's a floral band with very delicate details all around it. The diamonds are set in the crevets of the flowers and leaves all around the ring. He got it from a place where they make one of a kind jewelry. I'd want to say antique jewelry, but it's not old. But, just like me, he said it's one of a kind. Then he asked me if I'd marry him. Of course, without hesitation, I said yes.
Before he took it out of the box, he said 'It's a size 6, there's only one, so I hope it fits' The ring fits my finger perfectly, like it was made just for me. He said that the nervousness he was feeling was actually from worrying about whether this ring will fit me not because he was afraid my answer might be a 'no' or something crazy like that. There is no way to get this ring sized. So I can't gain weight... lol.
