We are not romantic people

HE DID IT!!! HE DID IT!!! HE DID!!!

Yay! My amazing boyfriend fiancee proposed tonight and it was more perfect than I could have ever imagined.

You see, we are not romantic people, I think romanticism is usually fake. So I generally don't believe in it. I feel like, if someone really loves you they shouldn't have to go over the top, their ways should just be romantic in themselves. And his, they totally are.

Of course, I have been a total brat for the last week, because I didn't think that he had taken care of the ring issue... Well he noticed the brat thing and boy did he make me pay. 

Apparently, he was going to propose last Monday, but I was mad at him because he hadn't texted me back all day. Then, he was going to propose on Saturday night but I would not come upstairs because I was being a brat... See a theme here?

So, tonight, when I least expected it, he caught me off guard while I was on my computer and watching tv and all of a sudden, I turned around and there he was on one knee with a little blue velvet box! I could not believe it!

He had tears in his eyes when he asked "Will you marry me?". And... so did I.

And it was so utterly not cliche or over the top or silly romantic and so totally perfect!

So... I'm a retard and left my camera at my office so now all you people out in the blogosphere will have to wait patiently, just as I did, for pictures of the perfect rock.

And so, *drumroll please* I am officially engaged! I cannot believe that it actually happened and I'm so excited to start planning! Suggestions please!

  4. Congratulations!!
    Um, even though I'm a total stranger, here are my suggestions, which are three-fold:
    -Make your wedding just like you both want it--big or small, formal or informal, whatever.
    -Enjoy the being engaged part--however long it is--don't rush the being married part.
    -Remember that the marriage is more important than the wedding.
    Congratulations again!!!

  5. Hooray!

    *Impatiently waiting for pictures*

    Did you really just ask for wedding suggestions? Because you will never, ever hear the end of them. But some might be useful (mine) :D

    Good job, Boyfriend Fiance.

  6. Woo Hoo! Congrats!! Nice Rock!

    My husband bought my ring at the end of March (with me) and then made me wait until October 17th to pop the big questions.

    Seriously. But I was a brat too a few times ;-)

  7. Awwwwwesome!! Congrats :)

    I have to agree with Tiffany Norris up there. Also, maybe you should throw a celebratory dinner party?

    P.S. The Time Traveler's Wife is one of my favorite books ever.
