So, here's the story! (I figured I had better get this posted BEFORE a new month starts!)
Thanksgiving morning I was standing in our kitchen rinsing out paint brushes after finishing up a personalized ornament order for one of my bosses. (About 20 minutes before, I text my SIL and said 'OMG! Today's the day...I just know it! He woke up extra early and I asked why and his response was he had to wash the car?? Then when I got up the light was left on in the second bedroom we NEVER go in. So, bring your camera and BE READY! Just in case...' My SIL text back and was like 'omigod! this coould be it. Im bringing the camera.') I had a paint brush in both hands when he walked up behind me and wrapped his arms around my waist. His arms were SO COLD from getting damp while washing the car that I dropped what was in my hands and literally froze up! I said something along the lines of OMG thats SO cold! He laughed and walked away. About 2 minutes late he came back up behind me and wrapped his arms around me again. This time, he was really warm and had removed the wet jacket and the sensation it gave me made me start singing a song (which NEITHER of us can remember WHAT song it was!). I said 'Do you know this song?' and he said 'No. Do you know THIS song?' and he raised his hand up and flipped open the box with the ring in it and said 'Will you marry me?' I cried and cried and hugged him so tight he said if I didn't release some pressure his head would pop off (so I let go a little but not all the way) and I said YES! YES I WILL MARRY YOU! Then the texting and calling and facebook/myspace announcing began! ...and that's our story of the beginning of this chapter in our lives!!!
Lol ummm... you have to announce that in the graduate thread as well my dear :P... and the kids loved the ornaments!! they were the very first thing they hung on the tree so you doubly rock!! i shoulda taken a picture of your rings when i saw you!!
everyone else, they are gorgeous and such a cutie patootie couple!! they came through my line at work and she was picking out stuff and he was like baby get whatever you want so she did.. then he goes baby seriously do you need anything else... then he pays and i go to give her the money and he was like omg why does everyone do that.. and of course we say, you better get used to it now :D
Congrats!! So happy for you and your FI! You are getting married the weekend before me
Post up some ring pics when you get time!
congratulations!! enjoy the euphoria!! i remember i smiled so much on the night we got engaged that my face hurt the next day!! :D
Yay! That's so sweet! I love that it was personal and early in the day so you could celebrate all day!
@crebre: lol...that SO happened! Then we got home and he put together my new craft center he bought me! I LOVE it!
@missjyc: I teared up every time I told the story to another person. I smiled ALL day! I was SO excited I could not sleep. I got up Thanksgiving morning at 6:30, he proposed around 9am, and we went midnight shopping and then shopped until like 10am and came home. I was still so excited I did not fall asleep until after 5pm!!!(and of course I slept till like 7 the next morning! lol)
...and now for the ring pic!
i didn't realize you were up that late?! i need to get one of those little craft centers, they are cool as all get out!!!
Yay, congrats! I want to know more about this craft center, too, maybe you can post some pics of it :)
HEY!? Is your ring a past present future ring?! 3 stone? Is that what I'm seeing in the pic? With channel diamonds down the sides?
If so, THAT is just like MINE! :)
This is such a sweet story! Congratulations! I think it's cute how you could tell he was up to something. (I could too, but I can't tell him that because he wanted it to be a surprise so bad!)
