My engagement involved driving to Color...Too cute. My engagement involved driving to Colorado from Chicago for spring break from college, Mr. Right having a Spontaneously Collapsed Lung (yes, that is just what it sounds like it is) and getting stuck in the hospital for the full week. While high on pain meds he tearfully confessed that he had meant to buy the ring while we were there and propose to me at this romantic place in the mountains we'd been to early in our relationship. Uh, so much for the surprise! So 2 weeks later back at college when the ring (which had needed to be sized and was lost in the mail for a few days) finally arrived he had waited so long that he proposed in my favorite park near the school one afternoon crammed in between classes. And I knew he loved me because he brought ice cream instead of flowers to the proposal.Janicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13874257412958004222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7714919283577385042.post-54524898687141802312011-02-26T20:37:41.047-06:002011-02-26T20:37:41.047-06:00This is beyond freaking cute! =) Love it!

Minutes later I heard a guitar playing, it continued to get louder when I realized it was him! He serenaded me in front of hundreds of people (its a big place!) with "I only want to be with you" by Hootie & the Blowfish and then proposed. I of course balled my eyes out! We have it on video too and I cry everytime I see it. Happy Engagement to you two!Shaynahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07678332145283651777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7714919283577385042.post-19564295466217646152011-02-24T16:37:05.091-06:002011-02-24T16:37:05.091-06:00Following you back :) Thanks for stopping by!

I wish that I had photos of my engagement. Except that from what I remember I had no pants on.<br />My hubs asked me to marry him 8 times before I said yes.

We had been dating for quite awhile, so I had my suspicions. We went to a fancy steakhouse, watched fireworks... n.o.t.h.i.n.g. I was getting kind of grumpy - it seemed like there was a lot of lead up for NOTHING, so I'm pretty sure I was a little sulky on the way back to his place. He suggested we go out for dessert, but insisted that we stop by his apartment first. We walked in, I plopped down on the edge of the bed, and he told me to close my eyes. I was still kind of peeved - I wasn't sure what he had in mind, and I wasn't game for any shenanigans. When I opened my eyes he was on one knee, proposing. He had forgotten the ring in his sock drawer, so he wasn't able to propose at Disney like he had planned. ;-) I said yes, of course - and I've been reminding him about crap ever since. <3Kristen @ Who's Watching the Baby?https://www.blogger.com/profile/11890899354064409958noreply@blogger.com
