It all started Friday morning of June 26th, 2009 when I got into work and happen to go to my email account noticing that I won a chance to meet the band Parachute and get to listen to a live concert in the Mix 96 studios in Houston, TX. I immediately called Derek saying that I have 2 passes to see this band play live and also an opportunity to win 2 tickets to see 3 Doors Down. (I had been doing this text to win for 2 weeks straight to win these tickets for my boyfriend for his birthday since he was a huge fan of theirs) Derek was pretty excited about going there and seeing this band but of course his first reaction was "What do they sing?" I in return told him they have 1 hit song that I know of but other than that I wasn't for sure and of course with that answer he went on iTunes looking them up to find out all information and what they sang. LOL
I left work early to catch the bands performance and of course picking up Derek on the way to the studios since it isn't too far from our house. Derek seemed really thrilled about going and I was just simply thrilled that I actually won something because I have never won anything EVER!! We get to the studio and I have to show them my ID and give them my information before we got to go into the studio to meet the band (at the same time I noticed Derek acting a little unusual than ever but I blew it off thinking it was because we were doing something different and knowing him he was just being his normal nerdy self) and as I finished everything and of course chatted along with other people that were also there to meet and greet the band we were just having a good ole time. We all sat in our seats just enjoying new people talking away when they announced the band and we got to start listening to them play live. Derek was shifting more than usual but of course the chairs weren't the most comfortable in the world but we both were enjoying the first two songs they sang and explaining how they wrote them and everything when they announced they were going to sing "She Is Love" next and that was the one song I knew so of course I got excited cause I was able to sing to it. (During the song, Derek at first had his arm over my shoulder and slowly he moved his arm and started getting a little twigged and moving around a lot but of course I still thought this was only my weird thinking) As they finished the song Derek jumps out of his chair quickly and of course I was thinking "OH NO DON'T EMBARRASS ME but of course he says "After hearing that beautiful song I have something to say to my girlfriend of 2 years" and as he said that he gets on one knee and ask me to marry him!! I was in so much shock and everyone at the Mix 96 studio is just clapping and snapping pictures that the words lightly came out of my mouth "YES" and I sealed it with a kiss since I knew no one heard me. I think this is one of the very first time someone has turned me SPEECHLESS!! Of course the band dedicated their last song to us and as I am wiping tears from my eyes everything else just seemed like a blur for the rest of the day.
Oh and they ended up drawing our names out to go see 3 Doors Down but nothing could ever compare to that perfect as Derek says "Perfect Proposal Execution".
