Yay! This is fun.

DH proposed after 2.5 years of dating. He had planned a date night for us to go to a BBQ restaurant downtown, so I didn't really have it on my radar because BBQ doesnt nevessarily scream engagement (although I was impatiently waiting for him to ask!). We passed our favorite bar, and his friend was playing music so I asked if he wanted to get a drink before dinner and he said no, which was strange since the bar is next door to the restaurant.

We had dinner and drinks at the restaurant, and DH barely touched his food. We had the most delicious drink: a Kentucky mule with Buffalo Trace bourbon (this is important later). After we finished eating, AND got the check (!) DH went to the bathroom. When he came back, he started talking and his hands were shaking. He pointed out that this building was the place where we'd had our first date (somehow I had not even connected that! it was a different restaurant at the time) and that it was where it all started and how much he loved me. He said he just had one question, and then someone tapped me on the shoulder. I turned to see the whole kitchen/wait staff standing behind me with a chocolate cake that said "will you marry me?" And when I turned back around he was down on one knee. I said yes (duh) and everyone started cheering and people started buying us drinks and coming over to congratulate us.

The cake was delicious, but we could only have one bite because our stomachs were in knots (and we were full from BBQ)! We had to taste it though because, serendipitously, the local baker who made the cake was randomly sitting behind us!

The drink we had was important because we're both bourbon lovers, so we did the Southern tradition of "burying the bourbon" at our wedding. We took a bottle of Buffalo Trace and buried it at our wedding location on a day with good weather to make sure we'd have good weather on our wedding day---and we did! So at the reception you dig up the bottle of bourbon and everyone drinks from it. It was a lot of people's favorite part of our wedding!

@pinkprincesspiper I don't have a good engagement story about myself and DH, but I wanted to say that I clearly had a long day bc I read the title as "so part deux." And I was like, "So? So what?" Then immediately thought of this #1 super-smash hit by the ultimate pop princess:

I need to go to bed early tonight.

PinkPrincessPiper · March 2017

Valentine's Eve year 2000, my hubby had gotten us a hotel room at a Hilton. We had dinner out, and during the evening in the hotel room, he got down on one knee & proposed. He proposed with a heart shaped ruby ring, and I said yes. By the time we got married (5 years later), I had a proper diamond set. He did pretty well for only being 18!

As for our most romantic date; our 5 year anniversary trip to the French Lick Hotel & Casino without a doubt. We had a wine tasting & dinner at a local winery, had fun at the casino, swam in the pool (had the whole thing to ourselves) until it closed at midnight, and conceived baby #2!

SouthernMama15 · March 2017

DH and I dated for 3 years. He bought a house, he refused to get married before having a house. We renovated and I moved in. After a few months, I told him we should go to the mountains Memorial Day weekend and get married. He said that's kinda soon, but not a bad idea. We went that weekend and picked out/purchased rings. I got in touch with a chapel and bought a dress. He told me he wasn't even going to propose so it was a complete surprise when we eloped. I felt like people would be happy if they got to celebrate an engagement with us, plus my 10 year high school reunion was coming up. The first weekend in June rolls around and we're leaving for a music and wing festival. He keeps arguing with me that we can't bring in outside food or beverage even though I had researched it and knew we could bring in one water per person. We were already running late and had to stop and buy camp chairs on the way. I yelled and got in the car. He goes back in the house, then asks me to come help with laundry. I stomp into the house and he drops down on one knee in front of the washer and dryer (both are running) and proposes. The neighbors were getting a new roof so there was even more noise. It was not so romantic, but hilarious, and a great story to tell our kids and grandkids one day.

Kathryn0903 · March 2017

I've always loved horses and horse racing. I grew up hearing stories about my grandparents and how for the longest time they went to the Kentucky Derby every year. So I always wanted to go one year. In 2015, DH and I had been dating for about a year and he said we could go to the Derby that year. Didn't do anything too fancy - just the regular infield general admission deal. So the day started out fairly normal with watching some races, betting, and of course the signature drinks. Well, when it was getting closer to the actual big race of the day, we did some walking around for a bit. At one point, DH asked some girls that were sitting to take a picture of us. The girls were kinda bitchy about it and didn't want to get up. DH told them "you'll see why in a moment". I didn't think anything of it, but next thing I know DH is down on one knee proposing and typical DH he asks me "You wanna?". Of course I said yes. And it's kind of extra special because that's the year American Pharaoh became a Triple Crown winner. We have decided every year that we can we're going back to the Derby! We went last year and have tickets to this year again! DH did real good!

littlebug2010 · March 2017

DH and I started dating in high school/middle school (I was 16 and a sophomore, he was 14 and in 8th grade). So I went to college first, but was close to home, and he left 2 years later for school. After I graduated I moved to the city and moved in with DH and his two other roommates. Well about a month after moving in together, I was sitting in our room, and one of the roommates gave me a letter in DHs handwriting. It was a clue, and told me to go to his school, and sit on a bench (it was a special spot for us). So I fixed my hair and got going (I had an idea of what was coming). I got to the bench and found his backpack, with my teddy bear, and another letter telling me to go to our favorite restaurant. I got there and the hostesses gave me another clue, and his iPod, with a playlist of our favorite songs. It told me to go to our spot on the beach. It was a long train ride, so the music was perfect. I got there and found DH in the gazebo, where he started his whole speech, he went in to hug me and took the ring out of the backpack I had all along, and got down on one knee and proposed. I was in tears and said yes, duh. We had a picnic on the beach and just stayed there until the sun set. It was the most romantic day, and i still smile when we go to those spots. We were engaged for 2 years until we got married.

knottie0d8cc4d43bacc09f · March 2017

@littlebug2010 That's soo cute I love that scavenger hunt idea!

4 years after we'd been dating, I woke up one morning and DH met me at the bedroom door with an envelope. On the outside a date was written. On the inside it said "the night we met". I came out to the kitchen and he had prepared the exact meal we had on our first date (god knows how he remembered what that was). I was definitely suspicious...but we continued with our day. DH kept giving me notecards with dates on the outside and memories from our relationship on the inside (date we got our dog, date I first met his family, date he moved to the US...). At dinner time, he packed a cooler and told me to get in the car. We drove to the coast nearby and he set up a little beach picnic with candles. We finished dinner and he gave me the last envelope with that day's date on it. I opened it up and saw a big question mark in the middle. I looked down and he was on one knee with the ring! I totally cried. It was so sweet how much effort he put into the whole day, remembering important days over the past 4 years.

LSP87 · March 2017

Well, my story isn't very romantic..but it is kinda funny and yeah, probably TMI buuuut you asked and you've now been warned so I'll tell.

We had been dating for about 3 years. He said "I want to engage you" while we were in bed and that was pretty much it. My response was "engage me in what? Mortal kombat?" He didn't think I was very funny when I said that but I did and we all know that's all that matters. He went and bought a ring a little while later. We got married almost 4 years after that at my dream venue which was a historical southern house with a beautiful chapel and reception area on the grounds. While the engagement wasn't ideal, the wedding was..and he's a great husband and father.

AB518 · March 2017

How and when we got engaged was not what I expected at all. I was hanging out at DH's house one afternoon waiting for him to finish making lunch. I started trying to organize and put away a pile of stuff that he had on the kitchen table. As I was cleaning up, I found a really sparkly diamond ring. I knew that it was an engagement ring. I started crying and couldn't speak. DH smiled at me and then he hugged and kissed me. To this day, DH jokes that he never actually proposed. Even though I accidentally found the ring early, that moment seemed absolutely perfect.

dinofreak · March 2017

We were home for the summer from college (same hometown, same college) and my parents went camping, leaving me the house to myself. SO suggested he make me a romantic dinner etc etc and I... ruined it by inviting a bunch of people over for a party instead. He'd already told friends and family that he was going to propose that night, so first thing the next day he insists that we go for a hike, even though it's raining, before I can talk to anyone and ruin the surprise. When we got to a lookout point, he had prepared a picnic, the rain stopped and we had a fabulous view, and he got down and popped the question in the mud. It was so perfect, and I wouldn't have wanted it any other way.

kodariah · March 2017

The first time we spent time really getting to know each other we went and watched the sunrise down on a ledge inside the snake river canyon and just talked We moved about two hours away but this ledge became a special spot we would go to every time we were visiting, and he my DH knew that was where I thought it would be perfect for him to propose. We were in town for a family dinner and that whole trip he was acting off and how he was acting was making me mad so we had been fighting. I told him he was making me mad and wanted us to go on a walk at the canyon to the ledge to get away and cool down, he gladly agreed. We went down to our ledge and sat and talked for a minute, I decided to climb on top this rock and make my DH take a picture with me. I took one and he said maybe get one with this in the picture, when i turn around he was holding a ring and asked. My response? How??? How, how, how? I was so surprised I didn't know what else to say. It really was perfect, some how i layed it out for him perfect, my DH jokes that I managed to control the engagement and didn't even know it.

belmont1785 · March 2017

My DH and I don't have a very good engagement story. Basically we decided together to get married. We ring shopped together. And our wedding was also very basic, nothing over the top.

As we get older I actually find us getting more romantic. The birth of our first daughter I actually find the most romantic. It's my favorite memory of us. It's also little things. And I especially find being pregnant a time when he is more romantic. He is always worried about how I'm feeling or if I need help. And watching him with our 2.5 year old daughter just makes me melt every time.

NatSprat0703 · March 2017

DH and I have always loved going on car rides at night in really rural, naturey places where there aren't alot of people. There's a HUGE area of land about 30 minutes from us that you can hunt, fish, etc at. We had driven around there a few times, and I loved it because there were so many lightening bugs, which I never see anymore but have so many memories of catching them in my backyard when I was little. So it was nothing to me when he suggested we go ride around there. Until we got there and he started acting all weird. He kept making us get out of the car and look at the lightening bugs. He would always tell me to look at a certain spot for them. This went on for like an hour. Finally I was exhausted and ready to go home. We were standing in a little open area in the middle of a bunch of trees, all lit up by fireflies. I turned around and he was down on one knee . Turns out he had been trying to catch a firefly in the ring box the entire night but could never manage to do it!

DeansGirl14 · March 2017

Kathryn0903 love the Derby story. My in-laws are big into horse racing and last season we were sitting next to a big group of people (at our local track). Same thing- they asked someone to take a group picture of them but then a guy in the group dropped to one knee and asked a woman to marry him. So cute!

Our engagement story- we talked about the idea of getting married and DH said he'd take me ring shopping. So we went ring shopping, and I asked the jeweler about how long it would take to make the ring because my birthday was coming up. He hemed and hawed and said about 4-6 weeks.
Well, we had a vacation to London planned for my birthday and I didn't know whether to expect a proposal or not based on the jeweler's timeline. One day of our trip we went to the Tower of London, and I told him, "This is a big tourist place and it's always crowded so watch your pockets- make sure everything's secure." After the Tower of London we crossed the Tower Bridge and there were pubs to the left and a park to the right. I wanted to go to a pub; he wanted to sit in the park. I'm like, really? But I want Yorkshire Pudding. He insisted on sitting in the park and getting pub grub later. Fine. So we're sitting in the park and that's when he took a knee and brought out the ring.
Turns out he was super nervous and paranoid he was going to get pick-pocketed, thanks to my comment, with an expensive piece of jewelry in his pocket. Whoops. But nothing went wrong thank goodness. And I got my Yorkshire pudding later that day too.

bumpybump · March 2017

After two failed scheduled attempts due to weather (I only know what one of them was), he finally gave up on making it "elaborate." So, one night we watched Shrek Ever After at my house. When it was over, I rolled over on the couch to pass out. He kept talking to me to try and get me to look at him but I wouldn't (so tired). So he finally said, "can you at least look at me!?" There he was down on one knee with the ring/box in hand. He asked, "will you be my forever after?" I said yes and then got my butt off the couch. Haha!

and_peggy · March 2017

He had kind of hinted around and we talked about marriage so I knew it was in the future eventually. He set up a romantic, candle dinner in his living room. Rose petals on the floor. He was in a suit. Steak and tiramisu. My favorite. He knew the one thing I absolutely did not want was to be proposed to in public. So at the end of dinner, he dropped something and when he bent down to pick it up, he stayed on one knee and had the ring box under the table. It was perfect. We are such homebodies and private people so it was nice that he honored what I wanted.

smallbutmighty77 · March 2017

I had shared this on the last GTKY, but...
7 is my lucky number and 12 is his...my sister lives out of state and I had always told him I wished I could tell her in person when we get engaged. Well, he asked me to marry him on 7-12 by saying ' 7 is your lucky number, 12 is mine...so?!?' and sliding the box across the couch. I looked at him like he was crazy. When he asked for an answer, I told him he hadn't asked me a damn question!! He then told me not to expect a birthday present since my bday was in 2days. Yeah, romance isn't his thing either.

Apparently he had some big plan but it was raining and terrible out- so I never heard his plan. We were going to Wisconsin the next week with my family, so we didn't tell anyone but our parents for a week so I could tell my sister in person. I was so annoyed I couldn't wear my ring!!

To announce to my sister, I decided to use my niece who was 4 at the time. She was always being told to ask us when we were getting married, and she called my now DH 'almost uncle' so, I got a shirt for my niece that said 'Soon to be Flower Girl' and the 1st morning we were there, we snuck her away and put it on and she went running out to her mom (my sister) and said look mommy, I don't have to call him almost Uncle anymore! It was super cute.

kvh22 · March 2017

Love reading these. Everyone's story is so unique.

DH and I had been together for 8+ years, he'd moved across the country to follow me, everyone knew we'd get married but I just thought we would wait a little longer to get engaged (I was a week shy of 25 which just seemed too young to me).

We were driving down the coast on highway one for a day trip that I basically planned. Apparently DH didn't have anything elaborate, he was just waiting for the right opportunity so he grabbed the ring and put it int he trunk of the car. I have a really nice camera that I usually only use on vacation but I just happened to decide to take it with me this day. Everything lined up so perfectly for DH since I planned our stops and the traffic, weather, waits at restaurants, etc. were all in our favor. There's a beautiful waterfall in Big Sur which was our end destination but it's not a hike, just a few lookout points connected by relatively flat trails. DH insisted on changing into his sneakers (because he had to get the ring out of the trunk) but I was arguing with him that he didn't need them and that was stupid, blah blah blah. I was completely shocked when he proposed - he found a quite little area where no one was around which is much more my style than having an audience (to each their own, though!). I think it took me 30 seconds to even speak or do anything, I was so surprised. We went to a beautiful restaurant on top of a cliff close by to watch the sunset (which had always been the plan) - he got the apps while I ordered us wine at the bar and I forgot my credit card since I was so out of sorts so we had to go back the next day which was actually a lot of fun because it was much quieter.

We've gone back around the date every year but the bridge fell into the ocean just north of the waterfall and restaurant and we can't get there so we had to give it a miss this year

It will "most likely" be accessible by the beginning of next year so I figure we can just take baby with us next March.

knottiee689565f63838b35 · March 2017

DH and I had been together for almost 6 years when he proposed. He was going to to sooner but my parents got a divorce and afterwards I had said I'm never getting married if my parents can't even stay married. I was a year and a half out from graduating when he proposed because I said I wouldn't get married while still in college.
I knew he was going to propose at some point because after he sold his truck, not all of the money made it in his bank account. He decided one day that we were going to go sledding except when we went to pickup sleds, no one had them in January! So he decided well let's just go for a hike in the mountains. Whatever that's fine, I like doing that. Except when we got there, my best friend was there and he was like oh I forgot to tell you I invited her to go sledding with us. Uh okay. So we're walking along a trail and we reach the end and are going back. I'm not paying attention to anything other than my dogs and don't hear him saying my name. Finally he just uses my dogs emergency recall word to get her to come to him so I turn around and there he is on one knee. There's no pictures of that because apparently there was a miscommunication between him and my friend at which big tree he was going to propose at. Either way it seemed perfect!
He didn't know my ring size so we had to get it taken down 2 sizes. That was a fiasco. The jeweler said 2 weeks, we called and they hadn't even sent it for resizing after 2 weeks! Just for fun we went into another store and he found a ring he would have rather gave me, which I do like a lot better. Plus, we found out that the first ring was the same as the ring his cousin gave his wife! Yikes lol

Nxy · March 2017

So as mentioned before DH proposed to me in his car in the driveway at my parents house. Earlier that day I had expressed concern about him joining the air force and getting orders a million miles away and not being able to follow him there because we weren't married. I told him I'd get over the distance it was just a bummer.
He dropped me off at work and went off on the search for a ring. Picked me up from work and it must have been burning a hole in his pocket.. We get back to my parents and he says something along the lines of 'I got you this because of what we talked about earlier.. I uh don't want that either". romance. yo.

SpotConlon · March 2017

Ours is simple. We were living in different towns, and one weekend he came to visit me. After dinner and movie date, he asked me to marry him while watching the Olympics on the couch. We had already been talking about moving in together and getting married, so no big surprise--which was perfect. I also picked out a ring after the fact.

cmmiller531 · March 2017

Ha I feel like I should leave the first part of this story out, but I won't because it's the best part. I had gotten an awful awful stomach virus and things were coming out both ends so I needed help. This was the first nasty illness we were living together for. He very kindly and without complaint helped clean me up and move me to the bed. he slept on the couch even and went out before work in the morning to get me some vitamin water. The next day when I had been alone all day he told me he was going to Home Depot after work to price out a deck. I was pissed off because I had been alone all day and wanted company and we weren't even buying the materials from Home Depot (we had a Lowes account). So I was pretty nasty about him coming home so late, in fact he even recorded a video of my rant. A few weeks later some mailer came from the local jewelry store and I was like hmmmmm what's this here for? He ended up having gone to meet my bff at the jewelry store the night after I was sick to buy my ring. Talk about true love hahaha Anyway he set up a secret engagement party on my grandparents wedding anniversary with my parents at their house and coaxed me over to the house in decent clothes by saying we were meeting my aunt and uncle at a nice steak house for dinner. He had invited ALL of our closest friends and family to propose in front of everyone at my mom's house and we had our engagement party right then and there. It was super cute and sweet and our friend has a nice picture of me making an ugly Kim K. cry face lol

I'm glad the ring switch worked out!
The bolded reminds me of my BFF. I have never and would never say this to her but... so she and her husband were dating for 9 years before he proposed, with a few ring-shopping bouts in there in the later years that never resulted in a proposal. Plus, the guy is the most indecisive person I've ever met, in all ways. His older brother dated his respective now-wife for 11 years before proposing. My BFF privately, to me, criticized that woman's engagement ring because a) she thought it was way too blingy for the woman's down-to-earth style and personality and b) according to family gossip the brother borrowed money from his parents to pay for it. I adore my BFF but I think this was said out of jealousy.
So a few years after she bitches about that ring she gets proposed to. Her shower was the first time I met the sister-in-law to-be. Lovely woman. Wearing, I swear, the same damn ring. Ok maybe it wasn't exactly the same but there were certainly the same number/size of diamonds on that sucker arranged in the same style.
So I'm sitting here in my mind thinking, after 9 fucking years of dating and how many ring shopping trips the dude picks out the same fucking ring his brother gave his own wife? And it's one my BFF had said was too blingy? (She always told me she wanted a solitaire.)

People.

smallbutmighty77 · March 2017

I love all the ring insanity...I had a few friends get engaged before me, and I dragged them into a store to look at rings, at different times. They both thought I was weird, but they both ended up hating what they thought they would like. What they didn't know at the time was that their guys had asked me to help them out and ensure the rings they bought would be something their respective girlfriends loved.

By the time I was looking around, I had become friends with the owner of that store, so she had a good idea of what I liked when the time came.
It helps that when a guy walks into her store to look at rings, she hands them a beer and if their girl has ever been in, she has a notecard of what they liked/ didn't/ size, etc. if she knows.

HappyToBeHere · March 2017

DH and I had been together about 5 years. We are big Disney fans, so we were on our regular trip to Disney World and he proposed RIGHT before the Magic Kingdom closed on our first day there. He hadn't set up a photographer or anything (not really our style), he just randomly got down on one knee in the midst of the rush of people trying to file out of the park after the fireworks show. I thought he was tying his shoe, until I saw the ring, and I just cried instead of saying anything because I was so shocked. Finally he was like "so ..... yes?" and I nodded profusely, lol.

Then, we asked a photographer to get a quick shot of us in front of the Kingdom while it was still lit up, and she realized we were newly engaged. She was amazing and went above and beyond; she kept us in the park after closing hours, took photos all around the entrance to the Magic Kingdom, took us into the back of a store to get us complimentary bride and groom embroidered hats, etc. etc. She was phenomenal, so of course we went to "City Hall" there the next day to write up an employee compliment card. We got a photo package from her that was good for all the parks, and I'm SO GLAD we did. It wasn't expensive, and we have professional photos with all of the characters, and in different areas of the park. I know our kids will love going through them all eventually.

Overall, what an experience!! We've been quite a few times, but that was by far the most memorable! Disney World is certainly not a cheap vacation, but they literally pull out all of the stops for their guests, and they are constantly innovating to make it a better experience. So excited to go back again soon

littlebug2010 · March 2017

@HappyToBeHere I love disney too, and I love your engagement story! DH and I went to WDW for our honeymoon, and they did similar stuff for us. We got the hats and a special basket in our room with romantic foods. We got pulled out of line multiple times, when they were looking for two more people to fill a ride, and got to skip other couples in front of us. We even got special seats in the restaurants. All of this was from wearing out hats and our pin! We got a cute photo of us with pooh and tigger, and we are going to hang that in our pooh nursery!

HappyToBeHere · March 2017

@littlebug2010 - that is awesome; I have way too many good things to say about Disney. I love your Pooh nursery idea, and having your photos hanging in it will be so perfect!!

Mango517 · March 2017

My bf knew that I always wanted a public proposal.

We were at the beach for NYE weekend. The night before NYE a friend's band was playing at a nearby bar so we had plans to go see them.

Get there.

Then my bf gets called up on stage. I swear that he was going up there to rap vanilla ice's ice ice baby. He grabbed my hand and brought me up on stage, got down on one knee and proposed. I didn't even say yes, just shoved my hand out and started crying. As I'm getting off the stage I realize all my close friends are there. He arranged it so they all were waiting at the bar to be a complete surprise to me.

If anyone knows the DE/MD beaches, I got engaged at the Rusty Rudder in Dewey Beach

JWatt5 · March 2017

DH and I had talked about getting engaged so I kinda knew it was coming - but this one week we had taken off together I really thought it was going to happen because we were going to Toronto for the Blue Jays Home Opener (baseball), gotten a hotel and dinner plans. But he had told me, don't get your hopes up, I haven't gotten the ring just yet so gave up that dream.
I hadn't slept in for weeks because of work so having this time off was going to be awesome - the first morning he's trying to wake me up at 6am saying he has breakfast for me, rolled over to basically ream him out for waking me up so early whether he had breakfast or not, I'm trying to sleep in (and he had told me that it wasn't happening this particular weekend) There he is with the ring box on a plate - says nothing lol. I had to tell him I think you're supposed to ask me something lol. It was cute.
Now it's 6:30am - no ones up to be able to tell them, we're too excited to sleep so we went to Denny's for breakfast since he didn't actually make any lol.

Feliciosity · March 2017

Warning... this is supper sappy. LOL

At this point DH and I had known each other for 3 years, and had been dating for 1 1/2 years. We had a big date planned on Valentine's Day but at the last minute DH found out that his work messed up his schedule and he had to come in. He felt so bad that he said he's plan a little something for us the day before Valentine's and we could do our big date next week.

So the day comes. He picks me up, but then drives to his house saying he had to get a late reservation. So we killed time watching tv. He offers to get me some water and leaves for a bit. Later he calls to me from the kitchen, asking me to come and get my water. I go to the kitchen to find the back door standing open to reveal a beautiful set-up in his backyard. Candles in mason jars, flowers, and food from the restaurant we had our first date at (the same dishes we ordered). I still wasn't expecting a proposal, because it was a date-versary (we are one of those gross couples that liked to celebrate monthly) and he is just always sweet like that.

We finish our food and he gives me a valentine card with some lyrics from a song that was serenaded to us on our first date. Then there is a knock on the back gate of his yard to the back alley. Two of our close friends enter with guitars and start playing that same song on my card... and DH stands and starts singing it to me. That was when it dawned on me what was happening. After the song DH gets down on one knee, pulls out a gorgeous antique diamond ring, and asks me to marry him.

Feliciosity · March 2017

@HappyToBeHere So sweet! And thank you for leaving a guest compliment for your photographer. My DH is a cast member and I am a former one. We always appreciated it when guests took the time to say thank you.

middy411 · March 2017

I used to figure skate so one Saturday while I was practicing at the ice rink, DH came in and had the staff pretend to take pictures of the skaters to promote the rink's Facebook page. After a fellow skater/staff member snapped my photo, he told me to come look and see if I liked it. When I went to look at the image, it showed DH behind me holding up a "will you marry me?" sign with a red rose in his mouth lol. I was so embarrassed, shocked, and in disbelief that I skated to the edge of the rink to get out of the public eye haha. He needed a little help getting on one knee in his skates and presented a fake 25 cent ring from one of those gumball machines. I literally heard nothing that came out of his mouth but just replied "yes!". He was expecting me to comment on the fake ring but I hadn't even noticed lol. So he laughed and then pulled out a second box with a ring much bigger than I had anticipated inside. I knew his budget so I was expecting a modest ring and wasn't sure where this beauty came from lol (turns out a family member gave him a ring and he took the diamonds and designed a perfect ring for me). Anyways our two best friends were there taking pictures and videos the whole time. Then he pretended like we were just going to go celebrate by getting dinner with those friends but when we arrived to the restaurant our families and other close friends were all there to celebrate. It was s lot of fun!
