Todd and I were getting ready to go out for our traditional Valentine's Day dinner, when his grandmother pulled me aside and said, “Kerri, if Todd doesn't ask you to marry him tonight, you need to tell him that you're going to leave him.” Needless to say. I was shocked at this statement!

Anyway, we got back from dinner and Todd's sisters, whom I had no idea were in on everything, asked me what Todd had given me for Valentine's Day. When I said that he took me out to a romantic dinner his sister Tricia exclaimed, “That's it!” and his sister Tracy said, “what a jerk!” I then told them that dinner was our Valentine tradition.

A little while later, knowing what their grandmother had said to me earlier, Todd's sister Tricia said that we should play a joke on their grandmother (keep in mind that Todd was in on all of this). I was reluctant, but went along anyway.

The joke was for me to get dressed up in Tricia's wedding gown, put on her wedding ring and then go downstairs to their unsuspecting grandmother, who was as much in the dark as I was, and tell her that Todd had proposed at dinner.

Not knowing what was going on, their grandmother thought the joke was for real and asked to see the ring Todd had given me. Just as I bent down to show her the ring that Todd had supposedly given me, Todd told her that his sisters and I were playing a mean joke on her. But just as I turned around and started to laugh about the whole thing, there was Todd down on one knee holding out a beautiful diamond ring and uttered the seven words every woman longs to hear. “I love you, will you marry me?”

I was so shocked and excited about everything that I never answered him. That was until Todd came over and said, “So, is that a yes or a no?”

However, seeing as we'll be celebrating our 7th anniversary on April 8. I think you know what my answer was!
