Caught by surprise!!!! Total shock!

[snogirl17]

Wow! After being a LIW for close to 4 years if not more ( I am still in shock that I get to write this)... I don''t even know when I joined right now. My wonderful manfriend of 6 years proposed yesterday.. he is now my FIANCE (I am taking great joy in saying that)

Little did I know he knew all about the LIW dust, he somehow recognized my log in name and has been doing some extensive research on this lady forum of ours (the wealth of information is awesome) and I got the most beautiful Gelin Abaci ring EVER! I am so happy and over the moon! I have some pictures, but I am at work right now. I will post pictures and the very "us" story of the proposal later. I will have to have him remind me because I don’t remember much but the words "will you marry me?", which i guess is the most important part!

Seriously I have waited so long for this, but would have waited forever for him. The wait really is well worth every minute of it ladies. If you know your significant other has good intentions... just have patience. It will come!!!!

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH WE ARE ENGAGED!!!!!!!! HOLY COW!

Thank you so much for the well wishes. I am just beyond excited because it was nothing that I remotely expected!

So a little background. I guess he has had the ring for a little over a month and was wanting to wait until it had snowed so we could take our dog for a hike to one of our favorite spots and well you just never know when that snow is going to really fall and stick here in the midwest so I guess he just decided that yesterday just might be the day. He ended up telling me that life can''t always be planned and he couldn''t hang on to the ring any longer for the "perfect" time, so he created another perfect plan!

We woke up yesterday like any other Saturday and he did some running around while I cleaned up the house a little bit and we did end up taking halo for a hike out to a local area with great hiking trails. It was a beautiful Wisconsin afternoon, all you needed was a long sleeve shirt and a hat. So we are walking around and I decided that we should just sit down and enjoy the wonderful day (since we wont have many of them left). We just started to have one of those really good deep conversations about life and how we work so well together and everything that we have faced in lives already. I stood up to look over the edge and just take it all in and commented on how life was like the river below us, with smooth parts and then it hits bumpy parts but it all works out in the end and he came up behind me and held the box with the ring in it and said something like, we can''t start our future tomorrow until we start with it today (there was other things that he said, but I can''t really remember) I turned around and he went down on one knee and asked me to marry him. I guess I stood there for what seemed like forever before I said anything, I guess I was in sheer shock that it really happened. Of course I replied.. "Yes.. Yes.. a million times YES!!!"

It was perfect, I did not have any make up on, we were in jeans and having a wonderful family time hiking in the woods! He could not have done a better job! I am so happy and so thrilled that he choose me to be with him for the rest of our lives!

Now to what you all are waiting for!
It is a Gelin Abaci tension set ring, it is just beautiful, however my picture skills are not well off.
I don''t know much about the stone, but the ring has a total of 1.5 carats and the center is about 1.25
