Sorry ladies that I havent had a chance to post sooner but its official..im engaged !!! Last Sunday my boyfriend and I had made plans to spend the day in Laguna Beach. We woke up early to beat LA traffic however it soon became apparent that we were going in the wrong direction. I pointed this out to my boyfriend who said that I was confused and that it was indeed the right way. Considering I am not from the area I thought I could be mistaken however he had this impish grin on his face as he said it so I didnt quite believe him. We soon pulled up to the place we had our first date and when I asked him why we were not going in the direction of Laguna he simply said that he was hungry and thought we had enough time to get breakfast. We had a beautiful table outside overlooking the Hollywood Hills and it was so peaceful and romantic that for a moment I thought he was going to propose there.
He didnt however and we drove as planned to Laguna. We had a wonderful day and my boyfriend was able to get dinner reservations for our fav restauarant right on the beach. As we were waiting for our table my boyfriend reminded me that Laguna Beach was where we spent our first weekend together. It was right then that our waiter came to us and said our table was ready. We followed the waiter and he stopped at a table covered in rose petals with a beautiful heart made of red roses. I was completely shocked but my boyfriend just smiled and said he wanted to make the day special for me. We had a wonderful meal and my heart was racing because I kept wondering if he was going to propose. However as the meal progressed I became more uncertain and by the time we ordered dessert I had convinced myself that it was not going to happen that day.
After our meal, my boyfriend suggested we walk it off and he guided me down the path towards the beach. We saw a bench and he suggested we sit there and enjoy the gorgeous sunset. As I sat down he knelt before me and took a box out of his pocket saying that he knew that the day was almost over but that he would be the luckiest man on earth if I was willing to spend the rest of my tomorrows with him as his wife. He was so nervous that he forgot which finger to put the ring on !
I thought we were going home afterward however my now fiance had more surprises for me. My fiance said we were spending the weekend in Laguna . I was blown away with how beautiful the hotel he had chosen was but it was nothing compared to when he opened the door to our hotel suite. The entire room was filled with roses and candles. And on the balcony overlooking the ocean was a candlelit table filled with my fav desserts.
The next day was 4th of July and my fiance said he got tickets to a dinner cruise to see the fireworks. What he didnt mention was that all of our friends and family were waiting on the dock to enjoy the night with us and celebrate our engagement :) It couldnt have been a more perfect end to the best 4th of July weekend ever !!!

Beautiful!! I love this ring - it actually looks a bit like mine but my side diamonds are prong set and not channel set. Your stone is just gorgeous!
