Well me and my fiancée have been together for almost 4 years. Valentine’s day was coming up and I knew I wanted to do something special. I found the ring I wanted. I already made reservations to Skates on the Bay in Berkeley, CA. I stopped by my local Build-a-Bear and made a bear. In the voice recorder in the hand I recorded my own voice saying “Nicole, I love you so much, Will you marry me?” So on Valentines day I got off of work early and went to the restaurant and spoke with the manager, and set everything up so he would deliver the bear to the table after dinner, but before desert. At dinner the manager sat us at a special table right by the window overlooking the SF bay, it was pretty nerve-racking because it was V-day and the place was filled to the T. After dinner along with desert the manager brought the bear. While she was trying to listen to what the bear was saying “it was load in there” it gave the perfect distraction to pull out the ring, and get on one knee and ask her myself. She was so shocked the only answer I got was “OMG are you serious???” After that she said “YES” and everyone cheered and clapped. The couple next to us offered to take a picture. So that’s my engagement story. I like to think its romantic and original. Thank you.
