WAHOOOO!!! So excited. Here's the scoop.

Boyfriend (at the time ) and I went to San Diego for our 4 year anniversary. He had all but told me the proposal would be happening in the fall but I was hoping it would come as early as July 4! I got the surprise of my life when it came this past FRIDAY!!!

We had been taking SD by storm, shopping and eating at Seaport Village, taking a ferry to Coronado Island, etc. I was starting to wind down at dinner because we had gotten up SO early. Just before dinner I had taken a photo of a horse drawn carriage all decorated just like Cinderella's. I got up to go to the washroom during dinner and when I got back my bf was FRANTICALLY shoveling food in his mouth. I asked him if he was okay and he said he though maybe we should take a carriage ride. So I finished my food (not nearly as quickly as he finished his) and we ran outside to catch a carriage. The carriage was supposed to take us to this GIANT statue of the famous Times Square Kiss when the sailor kissed the nurse (background: I am OBSESSED with that photo and absolutely freaked out when I first saw the statue) but our driver was a complete weirdo and dropped us off in a random parking lot. By this time I was cold and was trying to convince him to go home. He refused and walked me around the statue like 10 times lol. Finally just as I was about to snap I turned around and he was on one knee. I thought he was tying his shoe so I just stood there, then I saw him take a box out of his pocket and I, once again, freaked out. I was so surprised I just kept yelling "WHAT ARE YOU DOING? SERIOUSLY! OH MY GOD" it was dark so I couldn't even see the ring that well, he insisted that we walk over to the light (we were the only people BEHIND the statue) and WOW I am in love. Perfect ring. LOVE IT. Spent the rest of the trip laying on the beach looking at my new bling and thanking my fiance for my wonderful surprise.

Oh,  SparkleIllinois:  I just LOVE your proposal story!!!  Especially the part where you thought he was tying his shoe when he went down on one knee!! LOL

Your ring is positively gorgeous!!!  Did he do that all by himself???

Heartiest congratulations on your engagement!
