Now that most of us are up to our eyeballs in wedding planning, just thought it would be fun to share how all this madness started!!!
Did you know it was coming? Pick out your ring? Cry? Laugh?
I look back at mine and have to laugh. It was so US. I had NO idea. NO clue. NADA. Didn''t pick out the ring. Just got blindsided!!! We went to an NFL Monday night game. I had always wanted to go. (To a Monday nighter....FI and I had our first date at an NFL game : ) We won. We partied it up. We came home and were still dancing around celebrating. In my inebbriated state (not drunk, but had a sweet buzz!!!) I gushed and thanked him for such a fun, great night and we "cheered" our beverages. He said something like "bet I can top it" before leaving the room. I just thought he left to get more to "top" my drink off. (seriously. I know. awful story) Next thing I know when I turn around (as I was dancing. in the room. by myself.) He''s down on one knee. It took me a few seconds. Okay...longer than a few. I just didn''t get it. Then it dawned on me. And, being the classy elegant lady I am I started swearing like a sailor. "holy %%^*! No &^%$$ way!" Horror of horrors, I know. I was just shell shocked. He said a lot of incredibly wonderful things that I don''t remember.... And later when we talked he reminded me I never answered him! He gets 10 points for the suprise factor! I couldn''t stop giggling.... or looking down at my left hand. We had the best night. Just the two of us. I called my Mom (it was pretty late, but it''s my Mom) but we waited til the next day before telling anyone else. And the rest of the night was perfect. We celebrated
, we laughed about the proposal (my reaction!), discussed wedding dates, all his sneaking around designing my ring, and so on! Bottom line it was PERFECT. It was US.
I can''t wait to hear everyone else''s.....
