The Day I Died

Meeting The Family Part 1

After Jason's mom introduced herself as Rebecca and we told her our names. We were quickly led into the house. Jason's father Greg introduced himself and then the only other sibling ?in the living room at that time. She was as beautiful as her mom. Jessica introduced herself and then we all went to the backyard where Greg was barbecuing steaks. He asked us how we liked ours. I told him medium rare so did my mom. He said that they were coming up. Jason was really quiet until we all had our food. Greg was the one who asked the first question. His question was about how old I was and if knowing what his son was scared me I told him that Monday I would be 18 and no it didn't scare me one bit. My mom too said that it didn't scare her at all. Then we told the whole family that Jason proposed to me and I showed them my ring. Of course Jessica asked me if she could be my maid of honor and I said sure. The meal went by quickly. It was time for me and mom to head back home. But before I left I gave Jessica my cell number and told her that I would text her tomorrow when we decided on the date and color scheme. She said ok. Jason being the gentleman that he is helped both me and mom in the hummer and then got in and drove us back home. We all were silent on the way back. Me I was thinking about when I wanted to get married and what colors I wanted in the wedding. I got out and started towards the front door when he stopped me with a hug. And asked my mom if it was ok if I could go for, a walk and promised her that we would not be out too late. She said to take all the time we needed considering I was no longer in school. I thanked her. We went for a drive instead of walking. Jason was the first to speak up when we got to the edge of the woods. He asked me when did I want to get married. I said the first thing that came to mind. "How about next Saturday?" I don't want the wedding to be a big affair. He said ok. It was my turn to ask what his favorite color was and he said purple. I thought wow and told him that it was my favorite color also. I asked him if we could have a purple silver and white wedding. He surprised me by saying that that was what he was wanting. I couldn't help but gawk at him. I am now thinking about my dress and he said that he knew someone that could help me with that one. I couldn't help my next question. Can you read my mind? He said yes and no. He had talked to my mom before he asked me to marry him. Ok he was off the hook for now. As we started walking in the woods I couldn't help but notice that' this is exactly where I broke my ankle 3 months ago. He spoke up and asked me to close my eyes. I did so and he led me to a clearing where there was a beautiful bed with rose petals all over and around it. I was stunned at the scene. I turned to him and planted and wet kiss on him. I said that I loved it. He just smiled. I wonder what he was thinking about when he turned me around and said that by next Saturday there would be a surprise for me. I looked at him and said the first thing that came to my mind. "What do you mean by a surprise?" He said that he couldn't tell me because it would not be a surprise if he did that. I groaned and said fine but it better be a good one.
