I am engaged! I am also in such shock b/c it happening now is sooo unexpected. I am also deliriously happy!!!
He proposed early this morning, after we got back from a holiday party. He began by talking about the couple we knew who was recently engaged. Then he starts teasing me about proposing to him (which has been a joke for awhile now). I clearly said that would never happen and that he''d be waiting a long time if he was waiting on me. All very good-natured joking around.
Then he asks what should he do if he were going to propose. He goes on to say, should he say that he loves me, that he wants to spend the rest of his life w/me, etc... I was just sort of sitting there listening to him. We were both sitting on the couch at his place, watching tv and just relaxing from the party. He then says, should he get down on one knee if he were going to propose. I said that would be nice.
So then he gets down on one knee. He then proceeds to ask me if I would marry him. I honestly asked him if he were serious 5-10 times. He had no ring in his hand at this point. He says yes each time. I say yes I will. He then says, why don''t you believe me, b/c there''s no ring. I am still sort of sitting there in shock, wondering if he''s serious. He says he can find some sort of temporary something, goes rummaging through a desk drawer, tells me to close my eyes and places a ring on my finger.
So he was serious!! He just LOVED that I was completely surprised and shocked. Guys!
I love the ring. I have no pics
b/c it didn''t fit, was too small. I never told him my ring size so he traced one from my jewelry box, which I now think was a pinky ring. So we took it back today. So sad!
But it''s a round center stone, 4 prong head (not sure the actual type), eternity style, very thin channel set diamonds on the sides. I never thought I would like the channel setting but like this a lot b/c it''s very, very thin.
I just love it and am so happy.
Today we told my parents and I can''t wait until I get the ring back!
Thanks everyone so, so much for your help these past months. It has been tough and honestly, you guys kept me sane. I appreciate it!
I am so excited!!!
