Last week, the boyfriend and I went on a backpacking & canoeing trip in Ontario. It was beautiful! The leaves were just starting to change, making for great scenery. On the last day of the canoeing portion of our adventure, he proposed & I accepted! That morning, we were enjoying the gorgeous view of colorful hillsides as we stood at our lakeside campsite. As I was suggesting that maybe we should start packing it up, he said he ''wanted to show me something first''. As he started fumbling with the ID holder he wore around his neck, under his t-shirt, I realized what was happening, and all I could say was ''oh my God'' over & over, as tears started streaming down my smiling face. I think I was shaking. He pulled the ring out of a little round plastic box that was in the ID pouch, went down on one knee and said my name, and ''marry me''. I said ''yes''. It seemed a little more formal for the occasion than ''okay''. He slipped the beautiful solitaire on my 6-days-in-the-backwoods grubby finger. Hehe! There was lots of crying & hugging & kissing from both of us. I never expected him to bring it to Canada, let alone carry it around for a week in the backwoods! It was the BEST surprise ever. I was absolutely ecstatic (sp?)! He said that all week he''d been hoping that I wouldn''t notice it because he wouldn''t have been able to come up with a cover story. Luckily, I had no idea.
The ring is a lovely simple solitaire - round, brilliant cut .55 carat diamond, I, Si1 in white gold (with a little yellow gold on the swirl).
Back in April, we shopped together & I picked out the setting & the diamond, but didn''t see the finished ring until Friday. I love, love, LOVE
it! We haven''t set an actual date for the wedding, but it will be sometime before September 2005.
If I can figure out how to post photos on here, I''ll do that soon!
