It's finally official!
« on: October 19, 2006, 08:07:08 AM »
It's official! DF and I are engaged. I still can't believe it. I've never been this happy before. He asked me tonight, at a water fountain in a shopping center
.
I drove up, we got ice cream. Then he told me to go look in the water fountain. I was walking around the edges, looking in, and I didn't see anything. So I asked "what exactly should I be looking for?"

That's when df flipped out. After running around the fountain several times, he pulled off his shoes, jumped in, and started frantically searching. I still wasn't really sure what was going on, but I kicked off my flip-flops and jumped in too. I started looking, yet for what I didn't know. Finally he reached his hand into the filter on the side, and with much relief, he pulled out a plastic Ziploc baggie with a little white box in it.

We were both soaked, but he handed it too me and said "open it." I asked, "Can I get out of the water first?" So we climbed out of the fountain, and I opened the bag and the little white box. Inside the little white box was a little black box, which he opened. And in that little black box, was the most gorgeous ring ever.

He said "Will you marry me?" and I, of course, said yes.

(he had wanted me to find the baggie floating in the beautiful fountain, which would have been sooooo romantic and beautiful. If it hadn't been for the filter, lol!)

That's a cool story though! Maybe not as romantic as your DF was planning but it's definitely an interesting one.

Congratulations!
