Salem pond



This is Salem pond. The best place in the world. Collin asked me to marry him at the pond on Christmas eve 3 years ago. I was so mad at him that night. Why you wonder, I will tell you the story. Every Christmas eve we go to my aunts house for dinner. We were just getting ready to eat when Collin's phone went off. So he walked out of the room to talk to who ever called. When he walked in I asked who he was talking to. He told me it was his mom and she needed him to run to walmart to get something for his brother. He said he had to leave now, and walked out. I just sat there trying to figure out what just happened. I knew he wasn't getting something for his brother. Collin isn't a very good liar. Well dinner started we all ate and cleaned up. Still no Collin. He missed the whole dinner. I called him and he didn't answerer. Where in the heck could he be I thought. The longer he was gone the more mad I got. Finally when we were getting ready to leave he came back. He knew I was mad. He walked in and whispered in my ear "we will go to the pond." I felt a little better because I love the pond it calms me down. So we went to the pond. Collin parked the car and got out and told me we should walk around. We walked to a table and he sat down and told me he had some thing to show me. He pulled out a cute photo album. He opened it and started showing me the pictures, and telling me about each one. It was so cute he had pictures in it from some of our first dates. He got to a picture of just the pond, and said "this is the place where I asked you to marry me." he pulled out a ring and told me he loved me. I just started sobbing and I told him I loved him, and I would love to be his wife. I found out that the reason Collin left dinner was because he had to go pick up my ring. He designed the ring himself , and the jeweler just finished the ring that day. Collin was so excited about it he had to get it that night. He cant keep secrets. He is so cute.
