We met in English 101 class and it had to be fate that we even met....Eileen was told by her advisor that she didn't need to take English 101. |

WHEN WE GOT ENGAGED |
||
|
October 16, 2000 |
||
|
HOW IT HAPPENED |
||
|
We were engaged down in Outer Banks, North Carolina, on the beach while watching the sunrise. Sean made it very special. He woke me very early to take the dog for a walk on the beach. While I looked away for just a moment waiting for the sun to rise, I turned to him to say something and he was down on one knee with a huge sparkling ring in his hand. He proposed and I started crying. I was so blown away that I hyperventilated and could not answer him right away. He finally asked if that was a yes, and I shook my head YES!!!! From what I've been told, everyone knew this was coming but me. We had talked about it many times, but I never expected so soon. |
