I am LOVING all the holiday engagement posts! I am an old married Bee hehe…but I remember the waiting days well. I would LOVE to do a roll call – post if you got engaged over the holiday and include a pic of your ring porn 🙂
ETA: Your proposal does NOT have to be from Christmas Eve/Day! I’m counting anything from Thanksgiving-ish until New Years Day!

Hey everyone! New to Wedding Bee!
My Fiance completely surprised me, not on Christmas but on his 30th birthday on 12-21-12! He asked me to make us some hot cider while he secretly hid the ring in a blanket on the couch next to his fireplace. When I sat down on the couch, I felt the hard box under the blanket, and he slid on the floor on his knee in front of me. I don’t really remember much of what he said because all I heard in my head “Oh my god! Oh my god! It’s really happening!!” while I was trying to open the box… And he asked me if I would be his wife and I shook my head and then I realized I actually needed to say yes! 
The funniest part was that when I posted the pics on Facebook, I got to brag about how we decided to start a new life together since the world wasn’t going to end after all! And who expects to get a present from someone when it’s THEIR birthday? Perfect surprise!

Me! Me! I never thought he would do it on Christmas eve but it was wonderful because our whole families were home to celebrate and we always go to a party on Christmas eve with my parents’ neighbors and close friends.
I will have better photos soon because my brother had fun shooting it in the snow with his 5D but for the moment I will post this (iPhone pic, not sure why it’s sideways)

1.04 H VS1 ideal cut rectangular-ish radiant, platinum twist shank setting, size 5 finger

Holiday gal, right over here! Mine was 12-21-12 on a horse-drawn carraige ride after ice skating in the park. Swoon! My Fiance said “since the world didn’t end today, let’s create a new world together”
