Hey guys, sorry it has taken me so long to be posting this.

She said YES!!!!!

She wasn't cooperating with my plan of going to dinner and a walk on the beach, so I improvised and asked at the pool with our families. Earlier that day she was getting suspicious and thought I was up to something. I got out of the pool, dried off a bit, and told her she was right , that I was up to something. I retrieved the ring, got down on one knee, and asked. I have no idea what I said, nor does she, but I can tell you that it sucked compared to the eloquent speach I had thought out and rehearsed for 3 weeks. In that minute, I'm not sure I could have spelled my first name.... :twirl: She said "Of Course", we hugged, and the next chapter of our lives started. What follows are some pictures, I was lucky enough that my sister was there at the time and was able to get a couple photos mid proposal. I don't have a very good hand shot yet.... but that will come in due time....

Me digging the ring out of my towel hiding spot.



Me popping the question.....



A close up to show the shocked look on her face (I'm still in trouble for doing this at the pool while she was in a bathing suit with wet hair and no make-up..... but I think it was perfect)



Hand shot # 1 - Cell phone so the stone looks like poop, but it gives you a good shot of the proportion on her hand.

YAY!!

Congratulations and those pics are PRICELESS!!! She is sure surprised!! Love it!! Looks great on her hand, too!
 
better camera



Our first date night as an engaged couple, we went to the restaurant I wanted to go to for the proposal



And lastly, I was saying that it was a shame that the idea of a guy having an engagement ring wasn't a more common practice because I would like to have a ring to wear to show off that I am taken and committed..... so one day at the boardwalk, she bought me this!

That picture of her made my day. Awesome.

And the second pic is all fire, I don't get how you say it looks like poop.

I just got engaged a month a go, so I can say I know the feeling. Congrats man. Well done.
 
Congratulations, and how wonderful to see pics of the happy moment!!! :appl:
 
It looks fabulous! Look at that fire shot you got too! Congrats to you both! And you have a man-gagement ring! YAY! (I got my hubby a man-gagement ring also, when he said much the same as you did. :D ) :appl: :appl: :appl:
 
Congrats but not surprised - I knew she'd love it!

Oh! You just made me smile....which wasnt easy to do because im attempting t-bones on the grill because DH is fogged in at the airport. I think the most beautiful proposals are the spontaneous ones that say ' l love you so much that I just couldnt wait one more moment to spend the rest of my life with you!' Congratulations the ring is stunning and the pictures priceless.
