April 6, 2013. When I conquered my biggest fear. Two days later, the light of my eyes' birthday.

Nadia & Ethan helped me out. Cooper gave the money, which I didn't think was needed, but thank god he did. I took her to the broad walk in the Santa Marie Beach. It was planned out really well. Addie, told me for the entire week she didn't want anything. If it weren't for Carissa, I would've believed Adelaide for real. What would happen, was that Cooper, Ethan, Nadia and Carissa were all waiting by the Carrousel. When we arrived, the girls and guys would flash they're multicolored flashlights , illuminating Adelaide and I, and than I would give a speech. Cooper helped me bought the promise rings. It was a simple silver wire around and in the middle it was tied into a complicated knot. I got A&E carved into the inside. Mine was a thick silver band with A&E carved in the inside as well.

"Aren't the stars wonderful, sweetheart?" I pulled her by the waist closer to me, while walking.
"Indeed, reminds me of something" She stopped our walking, grabbed me by the collar and tiptoed to make us bump noses. "Our first kiss," I cocked an eyebrow and smirked. I crinkled my nose and rubbed our noses. She let out a giggle and kissed me passionately and softly, smiling into the kiss. "I love you." She whispered. "I love you, too" I whispered back. Tightening my grip on her waist. We continued walking in an enticing silence.

We came to the carousel. I felt my pocket to check the rings. They were sound in my pocket. The lights irradiated Adelaide & I.
"Hey, what the..." I pressed my lips on to hers before she finished. She was caught on by surprise, it took her time to kiss back. I let go and started. I looked deeply into her eyes and put a strand of natural black hair behind her ears. "It's been a year, with you. In that whole year I discovered so many things, not only about you. About myself, about the world. I learned what true love is. How it isn't shown by just saying 'I love you' it's about the actions, the sacrifices. The promises." She was tearing up by now, covering her mouth with two hands. " I learned about commitment, and I, know that I will commit my life to you. I promise, I will try my best to be the best. I promise to always be by your side. Do you promise me?" I took out her ring, raising, both eyebrows. The ring looked mighty with green, purple, and blue reflecting on it. Adelaide, sniffled, wiped a tear and nodded, speechless. She managed out "I promise," and quickly threw her arms around my neck and dug her head into the crook of my neck. I looked back and our friends, they flashed smiles, Nadia was recording it. They soon stopped and came to join the hug. "Happy Anniversary, love birds." Carissa said, overjoyed.
