No More Going Crazy- ENGAGED!!!

I'm Engaged!! I still can't believe it!! It was sooo perfect....

The Story
My FI finally finished his degree (we are 26) and was graduating this weekend. I threw a huge surprise party for him on Saturday night, and it was fantastic! Sunday after graduation he told me and his family that he wanted to go get some pictures taken around campus- even though it was -15degrees with windchill. He told his family to go on back to his place and we would meet them there after we took some pictures. So we start walking around campus and I'm trying to find the perfect photo ops. We get to the very center of campus (where we first held hands over 3.5 years ago) and he said "I don't really want to get my picture taken". I was like, "What?! Why are we walking around in this freeeeeezing cold weather then!?" and he said he because he wanted to ask me a question. Then he got down on his knee (still wearing his cap and gown) and asked me to marry him among other wonderful things! I just stared at him and kept asking he was serious and then said YES! It was so cold that my tears literally froze to my face!! I had to flick them off! We walked back to his place and my hand was burning because it was so cold but I refused to put it in my pocket because I just kept staring! When we got back to his place his whole family was waiting for us and then we had dinner reservations with everyone. It was so wonderful, I can't believe I got so lucky in life and love!

The RING!!
ABSOLUTLY PERFECT! It is a 1.22 cushion cut center stone with micropave diamonds on the band and halo. H, VS2, ring size 7 and 1/4. I LOVE IT!! Enjoy the pics, sorry I don't have more of them! I'll try and start a SMTR thread soon too :)
