Sean & Stefan announce...

Well it finally happened. After a year and half and two Christmases together, Sean up and proposed to Stefan Christmas Eve! In the middle of watching the Judy Garland sing to Margaret O'Brien "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" in Meet Me In Saint Louis (the designated Xmas Eve film), Sean handed Stefan the gift below. Stefan sleepy-eyed from the1AM hour slowly opened the blue wrapping paper with snow flakes on it, unwrapped the protective bubble wrap and uncovered the proposal Sean created with his own two hands...

A Proposal - Part 1

Stefan looked at Sean stunned and blinked with a smile. Given the $150.00 Xmas budget we had this year (a house and adopted children just don't grow on trees anymore after all), Sean decided to give Stefan his heart forever instead of a shiny new trinket. "The answer is 'Yes'," Stefan said "but are you sure you mean ME?" We both laughed and then kissed. Stefan found out his own brother Andy was in on the "deception" the whole time! Stefan went on to be speechless for 45 minutes and then told Sean not to expect a ring in these red circular boxes under the tree. Sean went on to bed and crashed, his "evil" accomplished... Stefan stayed up another hour still stunned trying to figure out if it was a dream... it wasn't!

A Proposal - Part 2

We started to spread the word to family and friends the next couple of days and the phrase that kept coming up was "What does that mean? Engaged?" We both laughed and found it extremely humorous and then looked at each other and said "What does that mean???" What DO two gay men do after they get engaged? So watch this blog for how we solve The Mystery of The Engaged McFreeds!

A Proposal - Part 3

Many have asked why are we are doing this even though we live in a state without legal gay marriage or civil unions. All we know at this time (a favorite Stefan phrase) is that we are in love and can't see any better person to spend the rest of our lives with but each other. Sappy but true. The law can catch up to us, this is our story after all right? (wink)
