Sorry it's been so long... but here it is
I received my ring last Friday. Much earlier than I anticipated! I was planning on proposing Thursday of the following week and had everything all planned...
I talked to my girlfriend's manager at her work, she works at a fitness club and opens at 4:30AM on Thursdays. I wanted to get her shift covered without her knowing it, but her manager kinda botched up my idea by telling her that she didn't haveta work that day. Doh! What I was planning was to arrive at her house before she got up and make a trail of rose petals from her bedroom door to her backyard, with candles lighting the trail. In the backyard I was going to have a picnic set up for two, with champagne, canldes, and waffles with strawberry topping (her favorite). But then due to the fact she was no longer getting up to go to work Thursday morning, I altered my plans a bit...
So, like I said I received the ring Friday, and really wanted her to wear it for the majority of my ten-day "trial period." So, with the excitement and adrenaline pumping, I decided to go ahead and do it that day. My bride-to-be attended a bridal shower that evening and I told her in the meantime I would go kick it with the guys. I had her parents clear out of her house, and did exactly what I stated above. Made the trail, lit the candles, set the table, but instead of waffles, I had her favorite dessert... ice cream
She took FOREVER to leave that stupid shower, when I heard her pull up I started the music and ran to the backyard. I heard her car alarm arm itself and then I lost all control of my knees
She came into the backyard and I greeted her with a rose. Just the day before she had accused me of being un-romantic, so I said "How dare you call me unromantic!" I told her how much I loved her, said a little schpeel, then got down on my knee and asked her to be my wife. She said yes! And now I'm engaged. I can't express how happy I am, and my gratitude to all of you for helping me pick out the perfect ring for her, she absolutely loves it. Thanks again to everyone who's helped me. Mara, Homer, PQ, Hest, Nate, Jonathan, Felicia, Denise, Brian.. and everyone else
The ring is super sweet!
I should have some more pictures this weekend. I'll get them to you all ASAP
