 | They were at DISNEY WORLD'S MAGIC KINGDOM! It had been a long, hot, but amazing day. Little did she know, it was going to be an EPIC night<3 After a great day of rides, shows, lunch at Cinderella's Royal Table, more rides and shows, it was time for dinner. It was a buffet meal, which meant that they didn't have to wait to order, or to get their food. This was important, because they wanted to finish dinner, then watch the fireworks. It was her parents' first time to Disney World, so they HAD to watch the fireworks at Cinderella's castle! Their dinner was a character meal, so Pooh, Piglett, Eeyore, and Tigger were making their rounds to each table to take pictures and sign autographs. They, of course, had to take advantage of this. They still had another hour before the fireworks, and the only character left to see, was Eeyore. It was then that her dad insisted upon leaving, to ensure a good spot for the fireworks. Since the restaurant was so close to the castle, she didn't understand why he was rushing them. It was even more peculiar, because he hadn't rushed them about anything else while they've been at Disney World. She thought it was curious, but explained that they had to wait to meet Eeyore to complete their set. He rolled his eyes at her stubbornness, but left it at that. So dinner was over, they got their pictures and autographs, and were on their way to find a spot for the fireworks! They had to work their way through the crowd to find a good spot. On the way, her brother and his girlfriend became separated from them. This was their first time there as a family, and she wanted them all to be together. She realized her mom and dad were flustered by the separation, as well... and they called her brother to have him find them in the crowd. Her brother said he would find them AFTER the fireworks, but her mom insisted upon being together to watch the fireworks. To his dismay, they fought their way through the crowd to find them,.. and all was as it should be. While her mom was on the phone telling her brother to find them so we could all be together... Elliott, of course, was holding Monique in his arms as they waited for the fireworks to start. Just as her brother found them, and the fireworks began, Elliott began to tell Monique how he felt about her. Both facing Cinderella's castle, he held her in his arms, and he asked her if she knew that he loved her, and that she was his best friend. She laughed and said yes. Then he told her he looked forward to having a family one day, and just as the fireworks began,... He turned her around and said he wanted to spend the rest of his life with her, got down on one knee, and asked her if she'll marry him!!! In shock, and so full of love and happiness, she said "YES, OF COURSE!!!" she pulled him up to kiss and hug him <3 As the crowd around them cheered for them, all she wanted to do was cuddle in his arms and hold on tight! She was so overwhelmed with love, in that perfect moment, she couldn't believe what had just happened! When he took her hand to put the ring on her finger, he was so nervous... he almost dropped the ring! But he didn't. She thinks it was partially her fault, she started giving him the wrong hand. After all, she wasn't used to putting rings on the left hand. It was beautiful! She turned to her parents, and saw so much love in their eyes... they were so happy for them. They had known for some time, and had to keep it a secret! Her brother felt terrible for almost missing their engagement.. he was incredibly happy for them. They rejoiced with her family! It was the most perfect moment, in her favorite place, with her favorite people... her heart never felt so complete! <3 |
