5 Key Moments Leading Up To My Engagement

In relationships, there are often moments that ensure you’ve met your match. The unexpected highs and lows couldn’t imagine experiencing with anyone else. We asked Echo Frankovich, customer experience manager for our Costa Mesa location to share with us the top 5 milestones that gave her the confidence to say “HECK YES” to her fiancé.

“I knew Anthony was the man I’d spend the rest of my life with when…”

1. I saw him snuggling with my dogs. Furbabies are the best! When you realize that another human can love your pets as much as you, there is no better feeling. Oh, and when you can successfully raise one together, you become a team. Be proud as you watch the little monster grow.
2. When he started scuba diving with me even though he was afraid. Overcoming a fear with your significant other is a GAME CHANGER. Knowing that your partner will push you to your mental/physical ability is just… sexy.
3. When he stayed in with me during Spring Break because I had food poisoning. Look, food illness is NO BUENO, and a man who is willing to hold your hair back while you violently hurl on the porcelain throne, is a keeper.
4. The time I took him ice skating and he turned out to be really good. Someone who is willing to try new things for you, despite their personal feelings towards that activity, is a person worth investing in. Even if they eventually become better than you, all is fair in love and war.
5. When all my friends and family came to absolutely adore him. Let’s face it, Momma knows best and when Mom doesn’t approve, something’s not right. Your family/friends know you well (like training bra well), so when you have their approval and support, it’s going to last.

We’ve all experienced those defining “aha” moments in a relationship. What are some of yours? Do share in the comments.
