The Proposal: We both have to work on Valentine's Day this year so we opted to celebrate early on our days off. Bob took me to an expensive seafood bistro I'd been dying to go to where we enjoyed a romantic fireside dinner (yes fireside- literally inches away) and came home to chocolate covered strawberries and one very sparkly Valentine.
The Ring: A long time ago, Bob asked me what kind of engagement ring I would want. I told him that because I already have a promise ring with a centered stone, I'd like an eternity band that "just can't help but sparkle" and that's exactly what I got!
The Date: We've picked August 23rd, 2009 because after 5 years, we just are NOT changing our anniversary and it does not take a year and a half to plan a wedding says I! We're planning on a fairytale wedding outdoors shortly after sunset with white lights everywhere. In lieu of a traditional dinner (which, being an evening wedding would be quite late), we're planning on a large array of upscale horsdevours, a few fondue fountains, and of course- the cake!
