What Did You Have On Your Pizza?

Complications with Andrew not being able to come here, made our proposal a bit unique. Friday night I got home from work, and Andrew and I had planned on Video chatting on skype, he asked my parents over the webcam if he had permission to ask me, Dad's response was "You have permission to pursue her until she catches you."

I suppose I caught him, because he seems to have caught me as well. After a few brief moments and apologies about the space and distance. He said he had a question to ask me,

"Yes!" I replied before he could even ask.

"What did you have on your pizza?"

"Oh, that's not the question I was expecting, um artichoke, peppers, onions, broccoli.."

"Mmm, sounds good. Well that's all I wanted to ask."

However I knew there was more, his smile told me so. He apologized again about the distance, and how he couldn't even do it proper on one knee because he would be out of camera range, then he cleared his throat and looked at me with his beautiful puppy dog eyes and said "Rebekah, will you marry me?" I didn't say yes this time, I paused and with tears in my eyes I said "Absolutely!"

This is the point in the story where the happy couple kisses and embraces, and he puts the ring on her hand, but there was none of that in our story yet. However, that doesn't make it any less memorable or real. I would love to not be on the otherside of the world now, but especially at that moment.

Andrew assures me that I may not know when or how, but I will get a real on the knee proposal one day, he doesn't want me to feel like I am missing out. I can honestly say traditional proposal or not, I am not missing out, and my answer will be the same. Plus it's probably a rare occasion he will be shorter than me.
