Engagement Story

Elizabeth's POV (February 4, 2005):
Several days ago, Mike told me he wanted to get me something for Valentine's Day, and we discussed if there was any sort of jewelry that I totally hated/loved. I thought nothing of it, because the boy has NEVER bought me jewelry in the 2.5 years we've been dating.

Yesterday I went out to do some errands. When I got home, he proudly exclaimed, "I got your Valentine's present while you were out!" We putzed around for a few min, then he was like, "I don't want to wait to give it to you." I shrugged and said ok. He disappeared into the bedroom and I sat there on the couch sipping my iced tea. He comes back out with a cute little gift-wrapped box. Cool! Earrings! I think to myself, as he sits down on the couch next to me. I opened it up, and sitting there in the box was a beautiful, sparkly ring. I'm just sort of staring at it and I hear him say, "Will you marry me?"

I couldn't even answer him, I just kissed him and put the ring on.

So that's it. Nothing fancy. No kneeling, no public announcements. We were both sitting on the couch, in PJ's, with unwashed hair. :)
