As of 7:00 pm on Monday, August 8th, we are no longer boyfriend and girlfriend.....we are FIANCES!!! Nick proposed while we were on a bike ride down by the river near our house. It was perfect and completely spontaneous, just how I always wanted it to be. The ring is beautiful and I may post a picture of it one day, but to be honest I can't stand when people post pictures of their rings. It's one of those things that drives me nuts, so I feel kind of dumb doing it myself, you know??? I may have to be a huge hypocrite one day because I'm realizing why people do it, everyone keeps asking to see it! For now I have to get it re-sized because it's too big (not the rock, the band, HA!). I went in to get fitted the day after my biathlon and I know I was really dehyrdated, therefore my fingers were swollen. I even told the guy who was fitting me that my fingers were probably bigger than normal, but I don't think he understood that I really meant it. So basically my ring just falls off right now. Bummer. Oh well, I'm ENGAGED!!!!!
QUESTION: What's your idea of a perfect proposal?!
Congratulations! I am very happy for you!

ReplyDeleteCongratulations! How exciting. My perfect proposal is where the man speaks from his heart.
ReplyDeleteThis totally made me cry. Seems as though you've weathered some storms and have all the tools for a happy life. Best of luck. Perfect proposal? I am such a skeptic, I'd take "what's behind the proposal" than too many bells and whistles. Yours sounds perfect to me.
