Well, FI got the ring yesterday and ended up proposing last night. I knew it wouldn''t be too long, but I thought it might be a couple days at least. Maybe a couple of weeks at the most. He mentioned the other day that what he had planned might take a couple weeks more, and was that okay? So I said sure. I guess he said that to "throw me off." Although when I was going to throw something frozen into the oven for dinner, and he told me to get dressed up because we were going out to dinner, I knew. I didn''t know how he was going to do it, but I knew it''d be that night.
He took me out to dinner to thee nice Italian restaurant where we had our first "fancy" date. I even wore the same dress from almost 3 years ago, though that was kind of a subconscious decision, because he didn''t tell me where we were going until we got there. He didn''t ask at the restaurant, and we went to pick up a bottle of wine. Well as we''re walking back into our apartment with our leftover food, wine, and some beer, he got down one knee in front of our front door and asked me. Even though I knew it coming last night, I totally wasn''t expecting that. I think he was pretty nervous, so he rambled about how he was going to ask outside of the restaurant, but there was an older lady standing there, and he thought it was awkward. After that, he kind of tacked on a "willyoumarryme?" And I was all thrown aback, so I said "I guess so...I mean, yes." Haha, I felt bad then, so I made him ask me again when we got into the apartment.
He said it was the most nervous he''s been on a date with me since the very beginning of our relationship.
The ring is beautiful, and I cannot believe the flashes coming off of this teeny AVC in the sun today! I was driving us to the store this afternoon, and FI was like "you are going to crash your car staring at that ring!" And I probably will!
Oh and I''ve got to apologize in advance for my nails. I was rocking the yellow polish, but it''s chipping. I would have redone them yesterday, but I need to go get new nail polish remover. And of course, I forgot about it while at the store today! There is some clever cropping in a few of the pictures to crop out some unfortunate nail images.
