Silk Naturals

I'm engaged! I'm engaged!

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!

Congratulations! How romantic!

Ah! My heart's melting at such romance! That's so very wonderful - warmest congratulations - and that photo of you both is adorable. -x-

Congratulations! That is so romantic, and sounds like your dream come true!!! I'm so happy for you!

How romatic! What a gorgeous pic of the two of you! May you have many years of happiness!

CONGRATULATIONS!

That's a beautiful photo! Congratulations!!! I'm so happy for you. He sounds like a considerate and attentive person!

Congratulations!!! May you have much happiness, and no it doesn't take a year and half to plan a wedding, just lots of busy time between now and the DATE. However, sounds like you both know what you want, so that will make planning LOTS easier.

Congratulations! May you have a lifetime of love, adventure, and happy times! That's a fantastic photo! Nope- it doesn't take that long to plan a wedding. DH and I got engaged in April, and married in July- no sweat. If you need anything we're here for you!

We took a little longer than Karen and Kris, but DH and I got engaged in January and married in July. I think my cousin did about the same. My sis did January-May and in New Jersey, too. It can definitely be done!!!

My best advice is that a smaller, more intimate group is so much better. We had 175 guests and I have not been in contact with so many of them. My sis had about 75. It was a fabulous night and so much more personal. However, it is your day.....I hope it is all you want it to be and more!!

What wonderful news! Congratulations!!!
