Last week was a great one. Aside from my TWO medical school
acceptances (more on that later), William turned 23 on Saturday. We left for
San Diego on Saturday afternoon because his older brother Mark got us our own
hotel room four rooms down from his and his girlfriend’s room. On our way to
San Diego, Will told me to call Mark to update him on our ETA. He said, “Get
used to talking to him. He’s your future brother-in-law.” Now Will and I have
talked about marriage a lot but for some reason, this took my by surprise and I
was so happy he said that. It seemed to solidify our plans to spend the rest of
our lives together. Anyway when we got to the hotel, I was in awe. It was so
fancy! It was decorated French Victorian style and there was gold and red
everywhere. It was gorgeous. After getting settled in, we got dressed and went
out to dinner. The city was beautiful. Will and I agreed that San Diego would
be an ideal place to live and raise our family (unless of course we find a
better location).
Saturday was great but Sunday was the day of the real event.
Will and I met Mark downstairs and Mark pulled out an engagement ring! Turns
out the entire weekend was planned only to propose to his girlfriend Barbara
(sorry Will, this weekend wasn’t about you). We had a buffet brunch and I got
to meet more members of Will’s family, the most important being his grandpa. He
was an amazing man and Will’s idol. I was so honored to finally meet him. Their
uncle Peter was also nice to talk to. He asked so many questions and actually
really wanted to get to know me. I got to meet young Oliver, Barbara’s grandson
and one of the cutest little boys I’ve ever met.
When brunch ended, Mark gathered everyone to take a picture
and on cue, Will called Barbara’s name so she turned to face him. When she
turned back around, Mark was on his knees with the beautiful ring. He asked her
to be his wife and she said yes :) It was an amazing moment and I’m so happy I
got to be there for the proposal.
The weekend was filled with so much more, too much for a
single blog post. I’m just so blessed to have been a part of it all.
