It's hard to believe, for me anyway, that a year has gone by already since Mike made the big decision to purchase an engagement ring for me and shortly thereafter ask my parents for their permission. I hope it is with the luck of the Irish, because after much shopping and studying (from what I'm told), Mike bought my engagement ring on St. Patrick's Day 2009. Of course I wouldn't see or know about it for another two months. Mike's Mom took the ring home with her and right to the safety deposit box (which I'm also told she visited several times to make sure it was ok).
Later that week, we were headed home to Long Island for my friend Kristin's wedding and we stayed with my parents for the weekend. It was during that time in between the church and ceremony Mike caught both of my parents and asked them both for permission to marry me, which my Mom thought was very sweet. I think she was caught the most off guard while she was down in the basement getting something from the fridge, and I was sitting just upstairs. I'm glad that he asked them, it meant a lot to me!
