college for you? BS in chemical engineering

college for him? same school, same degree, same class ... guess how we met

how did you meet? If you haven't figured it out yet, we met in college. Everyone in my major was super close and hung out constantly, so we were friends for about 2 years before we started dating.

first date? We just kind of went from hanging out in groups to hanging out one-on-one and the relationship developed from there.

first kiss? He was too chicken to kiss me, so one night when we were drunk and talking I just laid it on him! Sometimes you've gotta take these things into your own hands.

how long have you been dating? 2 years 3 months

what little things does they do that make your heart melt- He's so good about putting away dishes, taking out the trash, etc. And he always thanks me for making dinner. Oh, and it's really cute how excited he gets when he comes home from his intramural softball/basketball games and tells me how many homeruns/points he got.

what do they do that makes you crazy- He likes to rough house and poke and tickle me. I don't mind too much except that sometimes he does it right as we're trying to fall asleep. I really don't like being poked when I'm trying to sleep

engaged? yep!

where was the proposal? Martha's Vineyard; if you've been there, it was on top of the warf in Edgartown. He said it was his favorite place on the whole island

was it a suprise? kind of ... I knew it was happening that weekend and I had picked out the ring ... but it was still a surprise that he did it at that moment! I didn't see it coming

ring style? mine is a trellis style with an inherited OEC center stone and beadset sides; because of my ring I'm obsessed with antique cuts now and want to add to my collection!

dream wedding...? Something small (50-75 people) with all of our really good friends. Great food and especially great beer and wine

First "I love you" - Around the 3 month mark I blurted it out in bed because I couldn't wait any longer. Luckily he said it back!

first kiss? LOL. I was a shy 15 yr old waiting for him to make the move and he was a not shy 16 year old scared of touching me since I was so innocent... my friend pushed us to kiss not realizing we hadn't yet and late that night he took me aside and we had our first kiss in the building where we went to this youth group...

how long have you been dating? zoning in on 5 years.... :)

what little things does they do that make your heart melt- he holds my hand when we cross the street, brings me my favourite donut when I am down, always saves me some candy when he goes to the big candy store and makes me the best grilled cheese sandwiches. He also kisses my forehead in the sweetest way which makes my knees melt beneath me.

what do they do that makes you crazy- he likes to get into debates with ppl even if hes on one side by himself saying it doesnt bother him but always gets annoyed and cranky afterwards.

engaged?> nope... not for a while

How long have you been dating? 7 years, 3 months and 19 days. Not that I'm counting! :-)

What little things does they do that make your heart melt? Loads of things..... Sometimes he'll surprise me with my favourite icecream and chocolate sauce :-) If I'm in a bad mood and say something horrible he just laughs at me (in a nice way like he thinks I'm funny) and then I end up laughing and feel better.

What do they do that makes you crazy? Loads of things!!! He puts his dirty football training kit in the washing machine but doesn't switch it on! So when I come to use it, his wet, smelly clothes are in there stinking out the whole place!
He puts dishes in the sink to soak but doesn't scrape them properly so I have to start digging out bits of food from the plug hole! Yuck!!
He never tells me a full conversation. If someone rings us and I ask what they wanted he says nothing, but then I find out later that it was really important and he can't understand that I'm annoyed because I didn't know!
I'll stop now before I begin to go off him!! Ha ha!!
