One of the nice things about being a same sex couple is you get to make your own rules.  The way things are “typically” done doesn’t apply to you!

In May of 2010, Ash presented me with a beautiful ring and asked me to marry her.  Obviously I said yes and our domestic partnership was legalized a few months later.

Keep up now, that’s me with a ring and Ash without!

For this past Valentine’s Day, I presented Ash with a ring box.  When she opened it up, she found a photo of her ring, but not the ring itself.  Because it was special order, we had to wait a few weeks for it.  When it was ready, we went and picked it up, but I wouldn’t let her wear it until I got MY chance to propose as well!

So, the ring sat in its box.  Teasing her.  Gathering dust.

This past weekend, we celebrated our second anniversary together.  We went out to the same restaurant we went to the night Ash proposed to me.  (See where this is going?)  While we were eating, the subject of her ring came up.  I told her it was hard to figure out when/how to propose to her because we were already married.  Therefore, I couldn’t ask her to marry me, so what was I supposed to say?

Well, when dessert came, Ash’s ring was sitting on top.  Instead of asking her to marry me, I asked her if she would spend the rest of her life with me.  I mean, we already have two years under our belts, what’s an entire lifetime, right?

Of course, she said yes!

Therefore, as Ash says, her wife is now officially her fiancee!  Ha ha!

Baby, I had a blast this weekend and I am so proud to be celebrating two years of sharing our lives together!  I am just as in love with you today as I was when we started out on this journey together!  I am loving every second of raising our daughter together and couldn’t be happier with you!  You are everything I could have ever asked for and more!

I love you!

There is no feeling more comforting and consoling than knowing you are right next to the one you love.
