Well, we had been anticipating a date together for awhile because we have both been so busy this summer it seemed impossible to have time to go out on a date. Trey had a lovely date planned but wouldn’t mention to me exactly what it was or what we were doing. He gave me two rules: Dress up. Don’t eat a lot. Needless to say, Trey had already been acting really funny the past 2 weeks or so, so I knew that something was up because I know him more than he thinks!
July 17th, a friday, was when we finally decided we could go out on a date. It was my only day off that week!! Trey got to my house, we hopped in the car, and off we went! We went downtown but I was still not sure where exactly we were going. But a few minutes later we arrived at Texas De Brazil. I looked at him like he was crazy and said “baby, this is WAY too expensive”. But we continued to go inside. It was the best meal we have ever had together in our lives. Perhaps the best meal we have EVER had. It was a really classy place, everyone was dressed up, the lights were dimmed, and the servers did everything for you! It was quite the dining experience and it was so much fun! We ate lots and lots of meat until we couldn’t handle it anymore.
We finally decided we had enough steak and began to leave. To my surprise we walked out and he had a carriage ride waiting on us. One of those light up ball carriages that looks like a Cinderella carriage. I was SO excited because I have always wanted to go on one of those! I hopped on without hesitation and we were off. I noticed Treys backpack sitting on the carriage would confused me a bit, he went for it and grabbed his laptop out of it. He said that he had made a video for me and wanted me to watch it. As we watched it I came to find out that it was a movie about US! He gathered pictures together, videos, and music in the background. It was such a sweet video. It lasted about 20 minutes and the sun was setting as we were finishing the video. Then we stopped. Trey jumped out of the carriage and said “come here!”. I said “what are you doing!?”
We get out and we walk a few feet and we are in front of a beautiful church downtown with huge red doors and a really high roof. Trey began to talk about how husbands are called to love their wives as Christ loved the church and that it’s how he wants to love me. He talked about the Ephesians passage for a few minutes and then got on one knee. “Amber Leigh Campagna will you marry me?” With tears welling up in my eyes and my heart full of excitement I said YES and hugged him!
To my surprise our friends ran out from across the street. Bri, Beth, and Hannah had been hiding across the street taking pictures of us!!! We celebrated with them the rest of the night! It was all so perfect and I am so excited to see where this journey will lead.
