OHHHH do I ever love that ring! My 5 year-old was sitting with me at the computer with me when I scrolled through your pictures and she said, "Awww, look how cute they are!" when she saw you two with your lovely dessert platters. The ring is incredible and you are both adorable! Who could say no to a proposal written in chocolate, BTW?
