Dancing to the finish line. I don't think the guy behind me who had been trudging for 5+ hours was super happy about it. I think this is when Rob made up his mind to propose. He was really worried I would be vomiting or crying at this point.
The finish line in view. If you look to the left, you can see my parents!! I'm very close to them, so it was incredibly special that they were there. Both because I was finishing my first marathon, and because of what happened next!
He got down on one knee just after the finish line! Good thing there was a photographer there to capture the images really well. Someone also got it on a cell phone and shot it our way. I never thought I would like to be proposed to in public like this, but it didn't feel like anyone else was there.
This is my, "what just happened?" face. My head was swimming for a full 20 minutes after the race. This was the LAST thing I was expecting. Complete surprise. Considering that we've been together for eight years, living together for four and talking about marriage for just as long, that was quite a feat for him. Slow clap...
I am so happy! If maybe a little confused. Just looking at these photos makes me all warm and girly inside. I'm very lucky.
Now on to the wedding planning! My mother was discussing bridesmaids and dresses before we even got into the car!
Awwww... makes me all teary. I'm so happy for your happiness!
