Happy Valentines Day Everyone!I love this holiday. It was 9 years ago today that my husband asked me to marry him. It's actually a really sweet story. I was 16 going on 17 and in my first year of College. I had my very first Sweetheart's Ball. My parents were against us seeing eachother due to an ongoing feud that was started by our fathers who hated eachother in High School, and forbid me to have any contact with him (needless to say we did alot of sneaking around) So I had my Ex-boyfriend take me instead just to fool my parents...when we got there we switched dates. Later that evening, they cleared the dance floor and a very talented friend of our got up and started singing "God must of spent a little more time on you" Matthew asked me to dance, we were the only ones up there which was really embarrassing....anyways, next thing I knew the lights were turned down and everyone around us had lighted candles. At this point I was really confused...It was then he got down on one knee and asked me to marry him. Later that June I ran away from home to be with him and then that November, we eloped. I had to wait till I was 18 and legal. Now here we are 9 years later, still happy and still in love. Our parents still hate eachother..lol...
