Saturday, May 2, 2009 was truly a once in a lifetime moment for me. What I thought was a regular concert turned out to be one of the most memorable moments of my life. Case and point: My boyfriend, Antwan, and I had bought tickets to see Robin Thicke and Jennifer Hudson live in concert at the Nokia Theater in Los Angeles. The week of the concert Antwan was awfully cheerful and excited, which was a dead giveaway that something big was about to happen.
The evening of the concert, we went to a restaurant called Yard House. He sat directly across from me, smiling and showing off his excitement. With his constant excitement I had my suspicions that something was about to happen. He made me so anxious that I wanted him to ask me already but of course I remained calm and enjoyed the rest of the evening. Before we went into the theater we sat outside holding each other, laughing and confessing the qualities we love about the other. I thought for sure that hes going to ask me to marry him then but I guess the timing wasnt right.
Once the concert started I soon forgot about the proposal. Towards the end of his performance we were both on our feet dancing in place to a song originally sang by the group Jodeci, Come and Talk to Me. Once the song ended we both sat down. Robin Thicke announced that there were two special people in the audience he wanted to introduce. Not thinking much about it, I sat in my seat not paying much attention to what was going on. The next thing I knew Antwans name was called and he stood up. Then the spotlight suddenly came towards us. I felt Antwan pull me towards him and to my great surprise Robin Thicke called my name! I was in such disbelief that I cant recall my thoughts or facial expression made at that moment but I certainly remember Robin Thicke saying loud and clear that there was something Antwan wanted to ask me. Suddenly I hear the roar of excitement expressed by the audience. Antwan pulled out a little box, opened it and asked me, Will you marry me?
The moment felt so surreal that I couldnt even verbally reply to his question. Instead all I could muster was a nod Yes. I was so mesmerized by the moment that I felt as if we were the only two people in that auditorium. We just kept kissing and hugging by saying I love you, I love you! Then the next thing I heard was Robin Thicke asking, So whatd she say? Antwan then raised his arm high in the air singled a thumb up to publicize my answer. For the rest of that evening I had a smile on my face. By the end of the concert there were many people coming up to congratulate us. It is a night I will never forget. When I think about it now, the excitement consumes me all over again. If I had to describe my proposal in one word it would be...magical.

I'm really glad that we went to shop for rings at Robbins Brothers. They were indeed, the biggest engagement ring store. I went to a few other places and weren't able to find anything I like. Another thing to note is that their rings come in palladium, which is the more affortable metal when compared with platinum. Shopping for diamond is a big deal for us, so we asked thousands of questions. The people there were super nice and answered every one of our questions with patience. We were in there for hours didn't feel at all pressured. After all this is probably the third biggest purchase of our lives, we really want the very best (that we can afford).
