Jaime, and I are students, living in Thunder Bay, ON, Canada. We’ve been together for almost two years now, and have lived together the whole time.

In October, my great-grandmother passed away, leaving me feeling like life was short. Since I love Jaime and was planning on proposing soon anyway, I decided to go out and get a ring. Once the ring was in my coat pocket, I knew I couldn’t wait.

Three days later, during the four-hour drive home for the funeral, we stopped at Kekabeka falls; a local falls just outside Thunder Bay. My excuse was that I needed to take some pictures for my photography class, which was partially true. We walked around the falls a while taking some pics, and it was the first beautiful, sunny day in a long stretch of rainy days – this is how I knew that today was the day.

I asked her to pose for a picture, leaning on the rail looking towards the falls with her back to me. I didn’t even take the picture but when I told her I was done, she turned around and I was on one knee with the ring box open in my hand. She didn’t even let me stand up to put the ring on! She was so excited that she immediately dropped to her knees to give me a hug and kiss, nearly knocking the ring out of her hand.

Today, we are happier than ever. We hope to graduate and begin working in three years time, and then we will have our wonderful wedding. The date we have just chosen is August 23, 2013 – which will be our 5 and a half year anniversary. I love my wife-to-be, and we plan on having a great, long, life together.
