Matt and I have been living with each other now for a year. Today is the day I'm going to ask Matt to marry me. I know traditionally the guy gets down on one knee with a ring, but I don't want to wait for him I just want us to get married. I finish getting ready for our date and head out of our bedroom "Now you two have fun not to much fun and have her home by 11" Kelly says to Matt earning an eye roll off me "Anyone would think your actually related to me. There's leftovers in the fridge if your hungry" "Thank you" Kelly waves us off. I get in the car with Matt who drives us to the restaurant where we had our first date.
When we arrive we're seated down and handed some menus "I don't know what to have" I say to Matt glancing over the menu "Do you want your usual drink?" "Errm yeah. Maybe I should have a burger and fries? Or lasagna?" "You had the spaghetti bolognaise when we had our first date" "You remember that?" I ask frowning "I remember everything about our first date. You had straightened your hair, you wore a black lace top with jeans and high boots. You also had to wear your glasses because you had no contacts left" "How do you remember that?" "Because it was the day I knew that I wanted us to date and one day get married" "Speaking of...." before I can ask my question I hear a woman shouting for a doctor. In an instant I'm on my feet and running over "I'm a doctor what's the problem?" "My daughters waters have just broken" "Ok. How far apart are your contractions?" "I thought it was braxton hicks so ignored them" "I'd like to check to see if your dilated at all, is that ok?" "Yes" she breathes out.
"I'm sorry that our date turned into me delivering a baby" I chuckle as I finally sit back down in my seat "That's why I love you" "Even when I'm covered in amniotic fluid" "Even then" "Enough to marry me?" "What?" "Matt I love you and I was going to ask you this before the lady had her baby. Will you marry me?" I sit in silence when Matt gets up and moved round to me before getting down on one knee "oh my god" I breathe out as he gets out a little box from his jacket "I was going to ask you the exact same question. So to answer your question. Yes. Will you marry me?" "Yes" he places the beautiful ring on my finger. Everyone in the restaurant starts clapping and cheering. We both sit down and our food arrives "I'm starving" I comment making Matt chuckle "Only a doctor or nurse could be starving after helping a woman give birth" "Hey not the worst thing I've seen before I've eaten" "Really don't want to know" "Don't worry I'll spare you the things I've seen" "Thank you"
Matt and I walk into our home, Kelly is sat at on the couch with a beer in his hand "Well?" He asks "We both said yes" Matt says holding my hand up "Huh?" "I proposed first. Now if you'll excused me I need a shower because I have bodily fluids on me" I leave the boys to chat while I go into our bedroom and strip off before getting in the shower. I'm engaged! I'm marrying my best friend and I can't wait.

Not long after we got engaged, Matt and I didn't want to wait. So a week later Kelly and Maggie came to be our whiteness at the court house "Well congratulations Mr and Mrs Casey" the woman who gave us the court papers says after both Matt and I sign them "We're married" Matt cups my face in his hands "We're married" I repeat smiling. Matt leans down and kisses my lips "Alright alright save it till you get home" Maggie comments "Do I need to say at Jays tonight?" "I would" Matt replies before I can. He takes my hand and pulls me out of the court house and to our home.
