Hello, Miss Poppy here. Top of the mornin’ to yous.

I thought that it was great that Miss Violet shared her proposal story so I thought I’d share about Mr. Poppy & I as well.

I remember when we first started dating Mr Poppy said to me, “I fancy you.” I think my expression was… Then I think I said… “Hmm, thank you?” I realized what it meant wayyyyy later. Hehe.

Now onto the proposal: We had a talk that we shouldn’t eat out so much and save some money and I agreed 100%. Then a couple days later Mr. Poppy suggests that we go out to eat just for fun. I give him a HUGEEEEE lecture about how he told me that we should save our money and that we should start saving more… blah blah blah. So he convinced me finally to meet him outside his work.

I get there and he suggests we take a cab. TAKE A CAB??? WE ARE IN NEW YORK CITY FOR GOODNESS SAKE! Not to mention we were about two blocks from the train. The whole cab ride I’m asking him WHY OH WHY are we taking a cab!!!

Then we get to the restaurant. MY LAWD they have cloth tablecloths and cloth napkins!!!! I’m thinking, what in the world is going on?? (um… I’m normally not this cheap hehe but keep in mind I was wearing jeans and sneakers and a huge puffy jacket)

We eat… it was lovely and then out of nowhere he tells me that some guy was giving out free t-shirts on the street and picked me up one cuz it’s pink. I unfold it and tell him, “Did you know that someone put marker all over this?”

Then… BAMMMMMMMMMMMMM (his knee hitting the floor really hard). He was on the floor before I had a chance to read it!!!!

*poppy looking at the floor*
“OH NO!!! What did you drop????????”

He dropped nothing, he was on one knee with a beautiful diamond ring and he asked me, “Would you do me the honour of being my wife?” And I’m still wondering what he dropped…. it didn’t hit me…. until I read what the shirt said:

I hate crying in public so… I held my breath. Then after what seemed like hours, he says:

“Uhhhh babeeee??? So….. are you going to answer???????”

“OH MY GOODNESS!!!! YESSSSSSSSS!”

Then of course I’m balling.

He even had a surprise engagement party afterwards for us. The greatest part was he wanted to take a cab and I made us walk there! We get there and everyone’s late… one by one they walk in.

“HEYYY what are YOU doing here??? Guess what? I’m engaged!”
“OHHHHH that’s why we’re here!”

Lol. Perfecto. I couldn’t have asked for a better engagement.
