It was a Saturday afternoon, and at the time I was still working Saturdays at Younkers. Each shoe associate was going to be receiving a free pair of crocs that they would then have to wear to work during the croc sale, in order to promote them. So, I was there trying on crocs to decide on a size that would fit me best since my long toe stuck out the stupid hole in the front. I was so completely distracted by the stupid shoes I didn't realize that my manager was there (who was not working) and a few others who just happened to be hanging around the shoe dept. I was still debating and adequately complaining about the stupid crocs when our friends Aaron and Whitney came along.
I started talking to them for few minutes and then I started to realize there were quite a few people in the shoe department and that I probably should get back to work. I was about to leave to help other customers when Whitney, said she wanted to try on a shoe. She showed me the shoe, and I said, "Hey, the style of that shoe is named "Victory!" So I went to the stockroom to retreive the shoe and while I was back there I opened the box to make sure I got the right color and size, well, inside the shoe box was a ring box. I thought to myself, "stupid customers". You can find the most random things in shoe boxes. I opened the box and saw the ring (still thinking it was costume jewlery
). I walked out of the stockroom and turned to my co-workers and said, "Hey look what I found! And just as I did so, Victory Haines, dressed in a suit and carrying a bouquet of flowers came around the corner and took the ring from me and said, "that's mine" and got down on one knee and asked to spend eternity with me. I obviously said yes and as I did so everyone in the huge crowd that had gathered began clapping. And we are living happily ever after!
