Best Proposal Contest

Matthew and I met during our freshman year of
college. I saw him on the first day of school and I knew he would one day
be my husband. Because he did not know who I was, I had to make the first
move. I would stare at him whenever I saw him and I was not discrete about
it. Being a freshman in college, I was very shy and I would have never had
the courage to talk to him if it was not for my friends. They dragged me
over to this suite, made me knock on his door, and ask if he was there.
Unfortunately, he was home for the weekend visiting his girlfriend! I left
my name and number on the dry/erase board outside his door, hoping that he
would call me. Several days past and I got a call! We began spending time
together as friends, because he did have a girlfriend back home, but their
relationship was not going well. Soon after, he ended things with his
girlfriend and we started dating. Four years later and I am still
breathless when I see him.
Our relationship has been a struggle because he
lives in Buffalo, NY and I live in Pittsburgh. Our whole relationship has
been long distance, besides the time we spent at college together. I had
no idea that this Christmas would finally put an end to the distance
between us. We went to New York City as my Christmas present. He had
tickets to ice skate at Rockefeller Center and to see an ice show after.
Around 10 pm I heard the
announcement for everyone to clear the ice. I was ready and excited for
the ice show, but for some reason we were not getting off the ice. Our
song started playing and thousands of people started staring at us. The
next thing I knew, Matthew as down on his near asking me to marry him in
front of thousands of people in New York City. This was the best moment of
my life so far. I knew that he would one day be my husband and now it is
going to be forever...
