Our friends Drew and Rosalie did a week trip of California, they went to SF, Napa, LA, and eventually made their way down to us around the end of June. We only got them for two days but I was so excited about it. Drew is one of Charlie's old roommates and Rosalie is one of my favorite people (Drews not to bad either ;). I was already over joyed to have them over and set up a small get together with other friends that included a bunch of pinterest appetizers and drinks. While going to the grocery store to prepare I got a text from Drew that said something like "Saturday I want to take Rosalie to Ocean Beach for the sunset so I can propose" I immediately screamed outloud "Charlie" while walking into the grocery store and pretty sure I freaked him and other shoppers out..hah. I COULDNT HELP IT! These are two people we love dearly and I haven't witnessed a close friends proposal or the whole shabang so I was pretty stoked..The trick was that I had to keep my mouth shut :-X..This would prove challenging for me..I was always the kid at Christmas hassling people to see if they wanted to know what presents they got and I know on more then one occasion I told them whether they wanted to know or not..
So the day for our party finally came and Drew and Rosalie showed up with two bottles of champagne and their awesome selves. The night was a success and we were up until 3 having a blast. This was one of my adult pinterest drinks I was really excited about. It had apples, oranges, blueberries, nectarines,a bottle of flavored carbonated water and some rasberry acai juice. Drew and Roe had gone to the Hollywood sign and then ran into traffic, me being the nice person I am sent her this picture when they were in traffic and I said get your tushies over here!!!
The next morning we took a walk to the Pier to take in Oceanside and there happened to be the fourth of July parade which was pretty fun. Then we headed down to Ocean Beach to meet a few other friends and roam around until sunset (I think i was more nervous with anticipation then Drew or at least he was able to keep his cool better then me lol).
We went to a few of our favorite watering hole's and did some shopping. The sun sets around 730ish and it was about 6 when I started taking these pictures below and I was so excited I had to just focus on keeping my mouth shut but what better way to do that then with food, beer and pool.
Then it was finally time for us to go to Sunset Cliffs. We were all a little buzzed with excitement and there was a lot of laughing and joking around going on.
Did i mention how gorgeous this place is?
We knew that Drew was going to take here down without us to pop the big question. I was going to film from afar and he gave Charlie his camera. Charlie sort of followed them down saying oh let me just get a nice picture of you guys, it was funny because he seemed like paparazzi and I asked her later if she was suspicious and she just thought he was being weird. haha.
Once they went down to sit by themselves I think i almost immediately started to cry.
I've never uploaded the video's on here but thought I would include it! It was such a sweet and tender moment. I was surprised how emotional I was over it but I think it is because I just know these two are such wonderful people and what great lifelong partners they make for each other, I just couldn't take it!
It was a success and after this there were a lot of hugs, laughter, congratulations and smiles. We ended the night with some awesome California style burritos and said goodbye to the newly engaged Drew and Rosalie.
We love you guys and couldn't be happier for your! Thank you again for letting us be apart of such a special moment.
