iwannaprettyone Ideal Rock Total Posts: 3,547 Last Post: 11/17/2009 Member Since: 2/5/2002	As some of you already know, my family has been here from France. Evidently my dad had mentioned to my Aunt that we were waiting for a proposal. FI and I took the my aunt and her 2 10 year old daughters to six flags and my ever so delicate Aunt comes right out and asks "are we going to get to see the ring before we leave?" FI just laughed it off. Thursday night we had a big Mediterranean family dinner on Thursday night like the ones we used to have when I was a kid. Wine, cheese, pate, salad and soooo on...lots of wine and gin and tonics later I was sitting on the tile out on the back porch with my aunt enjoying the sunset and FI snuck up and kneeled behind me to sneak a peak to my aunt of the ring... I realized he was there on one knee and he smile and asked me to stand. My family and my best friend were looking through the window... He just asked if I would do the honor of spending the rest of my life with him, and "WILL YOU MARRY ME" I of course said yes and we cryed and laughed and drank champagne! I can't believe it, I didn't think it would ever happen! That you so much for everyones kind words and support. I just love how all the extravengant dates lead to something very real and personal...very us. PERFECT, I AM SOOOOOOO HAPPY! ETA: I love how my Aunt and Best Friend were screaming STOP get a camera, he's doing it, he's really doing it....hahahah Iwanna x (IWPO) *****Status: MARRIED!!!!*****
