That’s right! Adam and Marcie are getting married! Naturally, you’re not surprised, and you’re eager to get all the details. So we asked Marcie, Adam’s blushing fiancé, to tell us the whole story. And here’s what she said…
Marcie:
And I thought this day would NEVER come! I can’t believe I had to wait THREE months after meeting my fiancé before he would propose to me! I’m not sure if any girl has ever had to wait this long to have man propose to her, but I you’ll definitely agree that Adam and I have stood the test of time. It's hard to believe that just 3 short months ago (to the day!) I went on my first date with Mr. Adam and felt the first twinklings of love as he kissed me in that first date (an act I’m both publicly against and totally down for). Only in my wildest dreams did I imagine that I'd be lucky enough to marry one of the twenty men I was dating at the time! I am truly the luckiest girl in the world!
Now it's my turn to dish out the details...
Sunday morning began like any other Sabbath day. The alarm clock went off, I rolled out of bed, got ready for the day, and headed downstairs to meet up with a few TMB staffers to discuss the next season of TMB. As I said, typical Sabbath for a typical Latter-Day Saint: planning an internet dating show that copies a reality, sex-filled TV series that mocks that sacredness of marriage.
While in the midst of planning, my jovial mood was sobered when I got a text from Adam which read, "Marcie my pool is flooding and I'm not gonna be able to make it down today." I was so bummed because I would be singing a special musical number in church and really wanted him there to pay attention to me. I mean, why else would I sing in church if not to show off to my boyfriend? Trying to figure out a passive-aggressive way to see him even though he told me he had an emergency to attend to instead of seeing me, I asked him if I could bring dinner up to Glendora after church to which he replied "I think it's better if you don't come up tonight. I'll just give you a call tonight." Of course I didn't like that one bit. NOT. ONE. BIT. Call me tonight? AFTER the emergency? I deserve more than THAT! So I spent the remainder of the day sulking and reminding my single roommates about this problem I was suffering through.
I had to be in bed early that night because I have a very important career. I washed off my makeup, put on my pjs, and crawled into bed with my scriptures. Adam and I have been reading a chapter a day from the Book of Mormon. What does that have to do with anything? Nothing. I just thought you should all be aware of my scripture reading habits.
But I had a hard time focusing on what I was reading, as my thoughts would continuously and co-dependingly turn to Adam, wondering if he would ever call. So, I decided to text him and see if he could talk. His response was "I'm actually at my grandparents house helping them unclog some drains in their backyard. It's kinda a tense situation. Can we talk tomorrow?" That's when I kind of lost it. LOST. IT. I did what any girl would do and started screaming. Helping his grandparents??? I’m his girlfriend!!! How dare he see to the needs of his grandparents! I’ll show HIM a “tense situation!”
I buried my nose back in my scriptures in anger and started into another chapter, looking for ANYTHING that suggests a man should see to the needs of his elderly relatives, when suddenly there was a knock on my bedroom door. It was my roommate, holding two valium and wondering how all of my bedroom furniture got broken. I welcomed her in as she placed a computer on my lap and said "I need you to look at this video I've been working on to promote our series. Let me know what think." And before I could say anything she was gone down the hall.
I pressed play and my heart began to race!!! At first I was in shock! Then my mind started to race..."Is Adam really downstairs? What is he doing here? What does he want to give me? I love it when he gives me things! Are his grandparents OK? Who cares?! Oh my gosh I'm in my ugly pajamas with no makeup on! Do I change? Do I put my makeup back on? He’s never seen me without my make-up! And he’s not going to! What do I do? Kill! Kill!" The voices in my head simply wouldn’t stop! So I just quietly tiptoed my way down the stairs. That's when I saw the video camera pointed toward the dining room and Adam hiding behind the corner on bended knee!!!
The feelings I felt next are indescribable! But let me describe them for you! I was so 100% surprised by the whole thing and so incredibly happy and madly in love with the man down on bended knee that I just couldn't contain my emotions! I'm sure you saw, as we video’d this most intimate of moments so everyone could see how great we are! It was a moment of absolute perfection. Better than anything you’ve ever experienced! I have never been happier than in that moment when he asked "Will you marry me?" YES ADAM!!! A thousand times over. YES, I will marry you! FINALLY!
So much for an early bedtime! The rest of the night was spent kissing, kissing, kissing, kissing, kissing, kissing, kissing, kissing, kissing, kissing, kissing, kissing, cuddling, kissing, kissing, kissing, kissing, kissing, kissing, kissing, kissing, calling our families, more kissing, and more calling! And kissing! It was all too perfect! I still can't believe it's real. I've been staring at my ring every 5 minutes and pinching myself just to make sure it's not just a dream! It's truly a fairytale ending...or beginning, depending on how you look at it! And kissing!
My thoughts about the divine inspiration of The Mormon Bachelorette journey have only been confirmed by the happenings of last night. And that’s EXACTLY what this internet show has been – Divine Inspiration! The will of God, on Earth, through us. Does that make us prophets? Does that make ABC TV prophets? Who are we to say?
The important thing is that Adam and I are so madly in love and plan to be married! What a blessing to have finally picked the man of my dreams from the mere twenty men I was dating at the time!
And MOST IMPORTANTLY, Adam got me exactly what I wanted! And isn’t that what marriage is all about? Believe me, I went into GREAT detail about EXACTLY what ring he had to buy me. It's a custom-made split-shank prong, micro-pave diamond encrusted ring, fitted with the most beautiful cushion cut diamond! I made that VERY clear! If he wanted me to say “Yes,” he was to get me that EXACT ring. So, I guess I wasn’t THAT surprised he proposed. But, isn’t it more fun to pretend?
I am obsessed!!!
