“I love you with every cell in my body and I’ve known since the beginning we were meant to be. A bit of Christmas magic brought us together and it is only fitting that I ask you to be my wife on our favorite holiday.”
She’s nodding before I can finish but I still ask anyway, “Gabriella Marie Reid will you marry me?”
“Yes!” She screams.
She launches herself into my arms as I stand nearly knocking me down. Clutching her tightly to my chest I bury my face into her curls as I feel my own eyes well with tears.
I was a little afraid she would say no.
“Congratulations my dear.” My mother says when I finally release my fiancée.
I slip the ring onto her finger taking care not to scratch her bright red nail polish. As the rest of the family steps forward to congratulate and hug us my eyes remain fixed on Gabriella.
She’s been mine since that first day. My own Christmas miracle.
