Congrats Steph and Rob!!

So after 7 years of dating Rob finally asked Steph to marry him.  I am so freakin’ happy for them both.  He actually told me, at the end of March, he was going to ask her.  He even had an amazing ring picked out.  Yes he texted me and I approved it.  So he bought the perfect ring.  Next he was going to ask my Dad.  Rob and my Dad went to a basketball game one night, while they were stuck in traffic on 95 after the game, Rob finally asked.  My Dad later told me he was just so happy for them both.  That he believed Rob was a perfect man for my sister.  Then when they got home Rob asked my Mum.  Of course she was happy.  Then they all talked.  Rob asked questions about how my Dad asked my Mum and about their wedding.  Of course they weren’t supposed to say anything so it would be a surprise to Steph.  Well all of you who know my Mum she was too excited and she called me the second Rob walked out the door.  I laughed because I had known before her.

Rob was going to ask Steph soon after all of this.  I kind of suggested that he wait until I get home.  I know that was selfish of me but I was excited to see all of that.  She is after all like my twin.  He said he was going to wait.  But he was so excited he couldn’t hold it in anymore.  So he asked her tonight.  Its funny how it happened and so typical of them.  Steph and Rob went to the store to grab something for dinner.  Steph of course got a salad and Rob I’m not sure what.  Steph drove because Rob had a few beers while playing Playstation all day.  Steph of course was already in her Pj’s.  I mean come on that is the first thing that the Latronica’s do as soon as they get home from work.  So Steph is in her Pj’s mixing up her salad, Rob comes in and asks Steph, “You know I love you right”?  She said, “Oh man what happened”?  That’s when he knelt down on one knee and asked her to marry him.  I love that she was in her Pj’s and he did it in their kitchen.  I love the both of them so much.

Its interesting though because just the other day Steph and I were talking and she could not stop staying how great a guy he was.  The whole time she was talking I just wanted to blurt out that he was going to ask her.  Instead I let her talk about how amazing he is and I got teary eyed on the other end.  I had always known they would end up together.  But right then and there I knew that they would last forever.
