1000 days ago, I saw my husband in person for the first time. About halfway between SFO and Redding, he pulled over to "get gas."
It was raining, and he had told me he wished it would rain when he came to pick me up. I thought it was just because he enjoyed rain, but when I returned from the bathroom, he positioned me in one of the only dry spots under the gas pump awning, and pulled out a ring!
He later told me that it was a reference to one of his favorite shows, "The Office", as two of the main characters who were dating, had been separated by work/school. They spontaniously met in the middle and he proposed at a gas station, in the rain.
I have since seen the show and I approve of having our engagement immitate that scene! 🥰
