Jay and I dated for 3 years... and then two days before my 21st birthday he goes over to my best friend and her husbands house one night... and didn't invite me. Which was weird. We never went over there without each other... but he said he was asking Matt some computer questions... and I just bought into it hook line and sinker. The weird part was that he called me around 11 pm that night to say goodnight from his cell, and said he was home and going straight to bed but that he would pick me up for church in the morning. As soon as we hung up I realized I'd forgotten to ask him what time... so I called his house... and his roomate picks up - and says he's not there.
hmmmm.... So I call his cell... and he says... I'm running out to get some milk. (He doesn't drink milk) LOL At this point I know he's lying about something... but I just figured it had something to do with my birthday so I didn't worry about it... i laughed and told him I knew he was up to something, but that i wouldn't ask any more questions. He got all nervous and hung up on me. :lol:
So the next day (Mother's day) He picks me up for church as usual. But didn't talk to me... I mean not a WORD. He was sooo nervous. We go out to lunch after church with my family (his mama was working) so we celebrated with my mom instead. And after lunch my family sort of runs off. REALLY WIERD. We always hang out after lunch - but "conveniently" they all had plans.
So Jay says let's take a walk... and we go down to the Charleston Water Front Pier... and lay out on the pier watching the clouds... (one of our favorite past times) when all of the sudden Jay sit's up and looks out at the Charleston Harbor and says in a squeeky voice - "Look there's my dad!"
I sit up and look out at the water... and there's his dad... on our Sailboat... 20 feet from the pier. (ILLEGAL) :lol: There was a new sail, that said "Marry Me Jess" on it. With all our family sitting in the boat. Jay drops to one knee, asks me...
BUT... I don't say yes. Noooo Silly me thinks "OMG I'm going to miss this moment foever! WAIT! I have my camera..." mind you... the sailboat is Sailing... so it's now 1/2 way down the pier sailing away with all my family wondering if I'm going to say yes or not. :lol: What do I do? Grab my camera and run after the boat to get a good picture... *sigh* Poor Jay sits down... thinking I'm going to say no or something... not realizing that I'm not running away from him.. just running to get a picture.
So after much ado and my family pointing at Jay... I turn around and look at his face, which is now between his hands... and i run back... and say yes.![]()
I'm still made fun of for that...
BUT I have some great pictures of the boat! :lol:

All kinds of things..We moved to Florida then moved back...and money was an issue..and getting a place together was hard..we lived with his parents when we got bacj from florida..but that was hard so I moved in with mine...and it was rough going back and forth to each others house.....
Soooo in September 2001..right after 9/11 we decided to just move in together in a hole in the wall and get married....
It was small and very nice..we got married at MY childhood church..during the winter time..on his birthday..(Tradition in his family)..It was beautiful...Christmas decorations and all candlelight...My neice Allie stood up for me and that was that...Small but beautiful...
We went to WDW for our honeymoon and was there for New years..
We always said that we would renew our vows after 10 years at WDW..
My DBF at the time DH now. We were talking about getting married and he brought up the date 07-07-77 the perfect day to get married. I said we could elope. He didn't like that idea. So we dropped the whold idea. I work at a cafateria at the time. He asked my dad for my hand and told me boss what he had plan to do. So on that night of 7-7-77. My boss let me get off early(we had plans to go out and I didn't know where) I went home, I was told to get dress really nice. So I did. We met up with his sister and some other friends. We went to the Tower of Americas and we split from the others. He took me to the Staute of St. Francis on the river walk. He proposed there. At the time a river boat of people was going by and they hollered "Well what is the answer?" Of course I yelled back "Yes" and they all clapped. Then we went to the tower to eat. That night we had finished eating and we were just sitting there talking when a roach ran across our table and climbed into the butter dish. We asked the waitress to remove the dish. She didn't she just went and got the manager. He came over to the table and told us "You still have to pay for the meal." We were going to do that anyways but we just wanted to just sit and talk. They didn't believe us.:lol:
It'll be 16 years August 31st. :sohappy:
I was out of business, had a big deal going down, we had a big night business wise, our little experiment had a really big night! But it wasn't complete, it wasn't in the same viscenity as complete. So I rushed home and she was having a meeting with all her girlfriends and right there in the middle of them all I said....you... you complete me!
can you pass that to Nibbs!

Oh YES, he was a true salesman, cared more about the client than the money! That is what it is all about. I have some of the very same experiences in what I do. Its a great anthem.

EDIT: Oh yeah... to make the begining of that make sense... Amy (my best friend) is an art major and actually hand painted the entire sail. It was awesome! That's what they were doing until 3 am the night before!
Bye Steph!!:wave: I'm off. Talk to everyone later! Thanks for the great stories!!
AWW..sweet..is it true?:lookarounok, how about this one.......
I tell her to get ready, we are going to diner and to look at rings. She says ok, I pick her up and on the way we stop at the spot we had our first kiss. I park the car and get out and tell her there is something I need to get off my chest. I tell her to get out.... I start going through our relationship and how much I love her and all, hit play on the car CD playing with our song and then get down on one knee and propose.
She later told me that she was annoyed up until the last moment cause I was wasting valuable ring shopping time. She said YES!
LOL..HmmmmmmAwwww... How about for year 6? :lookaroun![]()

Maggie and Mommy time..Talk to you all later!!
