Mara! You are so right I had noticed this earlier (that others OLD thread was bumped up) but didn''t notice it on this one. Seems like some of them are being unearthed by the same person. I guess I fell for it too...gotta read those dates!
In the interest of preventing unnecessary advice on this, just wanted to point out that Sweetpea actually did get engaged (with a diamond) a couple weeks ago. Her new thread is here!
