We got engaged on my 28th birthday…

It was a Tuesday morning and we were both getting ready for work. I was feeling a little down for getting older, so I wasn’t in a very happy mood. He saw that I was so sad, so he decided to give me my birthday present right then to cheer me up (opposed to when he had planned to in the evening). . .

So he said he had a big surprise for me and told me to close my eyes and hold out my hand. I felt him place something in my hand and I felt him lowering down to the ground. My mind began to race as I assumed he was proposing. Until he tells me to open my eyes… and all I saw was his face about 6 inches away from mine staring at me… and nothing in my hand. I thought I was being proposed to, but I guess I was wrong !!!

I was very confused and disappointed. Since I was already feeling down, I really wasn’t in the mood for games.

But there he was, continuing to stare at me with a big grin on his face. So I look around the room and still did not see anything - no ring, no present. At this point he’s laughing at me, and its then when I realized he didn’t have a shirt on. And then I see “it”. He had gotten a tattoo on his chest, just over his heart, that reads,

“Marie, Marry Me?”

I was shocked and couldn’t speak for a while - He got a tattoo AND he was proposing !!! Even though he initially tricked me, that was the best birthday present AND proposal that I could have ever wished for.
