Hey all!

I posted in the LIW forum the other day explaining that I was on my way to see my gf.... to propose! I also said I''d post pictures and details yesterday.... sorry.

Well, Ill copy her description of the proposal that she wrote for her facebook and toss up a few pictures :)

After four long months of Matt and I not seeing each other, Matt supposedly was scheduled to fly into town on Christmas Eve. However, he had different plans... For the 23rd Matt discreetly arranged for a friend to cover my swing shift and for my Mary Kay party to be rescheduled. The closer it got to Christmas the more anxious I became. On December 23rd, 2009, the day before Matt was suppose to arrive, around 2:45 pm he surprised me by having Kyha drop me off down by the river. I had a suspicion that Matt was up to something, but I wasn''t sure of what was to come. As soon as we pulled into the parking lot I first saw my car and then saw Matt standing behind a tree with three red roses in his hand. Before the car even stopped, I jumped out of the car and ran to him. I leaped into his arms and we hugged, kissed, and smiled at each other for about ten minutes before he became real serious. At this point I knew something was about to happen because he was wearing a tuxedo t-shirt, which for Matt is super formal. Matt began by saying, "Joy, I want you to know that I love you and want to spend the rest of my life with you. I''ve been doing some thinking and planning and I need to know just one thing. So do you think, ya know, if you''ll be busy for the rest of my life?" I was super ecstatic and could not stop squealing and squirming.
Appropriately, I said "Not too busy for you.." Then he got down on one knee, grabbed my hand, pulled out the ring, and said, "Joy Dawn, will you marry me?". I screamed out, "YES!" He slid the most perfect ring on my finger as I bent over and kissed him.


Needless to say, she SAID YES!!!!

I couldnt be more happy with either of my decisions, with the woman and the ring
