Maria and Joe had pretty much talked future and forever since the beginning it was just a matter of when was the right time.
In September of 2010 Maria and Joe had started the process of house hunting and had chosen to have their house built for themselves. They would take trips every week or so out to look at the property/house and take pictures (so Maria could scrapbook) and see how things were coming along. It was Sunday Dec 19th and Joe had randomly shown up at Maria's house, which wasn't out of the ordinary as he was always around but a little fishy as he was bright and early, which rarely happens and it wasn't dinner time.
They headed over to the property and as usual were walking around snapping pictures of all the new things that had taken place inside the house since their last visit. Because it was Christmas time, they had purchased a mini Christmas tree and set the timer to take a picture in front of the fire place, pretending they already lived there and it was their first Christmas. After a little while Maria started to get cold, as usual and wanted to leave but Joe kept distracting her and asking her to look at random items she already saw. Maria getting frustrated and even colder stood at the top of the stairs proclaiming she was leaving.
Joe knowing he couldn't procrastinate any longer gave in but reminded Maria not to leave the tree on the mantle, as she went to go grab it and returned to the stairs, Joe being the gentleman that he is told Maria he would hold it for her and as he took the stuff from her hands, got down on one knee and popped the question. Maria said yes and here we are today....
