| Tracy and Robbie would always talk about getting married, and Robbie would tell her that he was going to do it once he graduated from College.
With Robbie coming off knee surgery he needed to get up and be active, so he hit the mall with the help of his Mom, Leanne. He had a picture of what he was looking for so it made it somewhat easy to find the right ring. After a few trips to many different stores, he found the one and made the payment. When he went home to Tracy that night, he was so excited about getting the chance to propose to the girl of his dreams that he kept telling her that he was going to marry her. Tracy turned to pinterest and showed Robbie pictures of what kind of ring she wanted. Robbie just nodded and said "I like that one too", not letting Tracy know that he had actually already picked the perfect one. While looking at these pictures, Robbie told Tracy that he wanted to get dressed up one night and have a date together, and just enjoy eachothers company. When he asked this, Tracy responded with "What are you going to do, ask me to marry you?". Robbie nervously replied "Can't a guy just take his girlfriend on a date?". It worked. She had no clue.
Finally the day came where Robbie planned to ask Tracy the big question, and he had planned to take her to the Peace Bridge in Calgary. While at school the day he planned to do it, his teacher asked the students to go to the peace bridge sometime and take a look at the structure and how the bridge was made. With all Robbie's built up excitement, he ended up telling his whole class that he had already planned to go there that night to ask Tracy to be his wife. Everyone was very excited for him and asked him a ton of questions.
Robbie talked to his sister Britt, and Tracy's sister Jamie and arranged for them to meet them at the bridge and take some pictures as the moment took place. They agreed and Robbie planned to meet them after he took Tracy to dinner. On their way over to the bridge, Tracy said to Robbie that there was a jewelry store near by and that they should go ring shopping. Robbie just laughed it off and continued walking towards the bridge. When they got close, Robbie noticed Britt and Jamie talking on the edge of the bridge. He coughed loud enough for them to hear and they split up running to either sides of the bridge. Once Tracy and Robbie got onto the bridge, they stopped on the edge to talk and look at the bridge's design for Robbie's homework. Tracy asked if the metal on the bridge wrapped around underneath or it if just stopped halway, and Robbie responded with a nervous "umm yeah, probably". As jamie approached with her camera, Robbie saw her coming and knew this was it, the moment was finally here. He turned Tracy away from Jamie and told her how he felt about her and all that sweet stuff. He pulled out the ring and got on one knee, and Tracy couldn't believe it. She kept saying "are you serious?" and finally answered with a "yes". From there, they went back to Robbie's parents place where he had arranged for some friends and family to be there to celebrate with them, and we have been celebrating ever since. |
