Christmas Eve Proposal

[beesknees]

Well, it finally happened. My boyfriend proposed after 4 years of togetherness! (I still plan on calling him my boyfriend because the term "fiance" reminds me of that episode from Seinfeld with the obnoxious woman, "I lost my fiance, the poor baby!")

Anyway, we live in Phoenix and when we first started dating he drove me up Squaw Peak mountain to view the city lights. 2 days ago he took me back to that same spot and got on one knee and proposed. It was the most romantic and perfect proposal. And the ring is more beautiful than I ever could have imagined. I don''t know all the specs yet other than the band is from Memoire and the center stone is a round, 1.24 cts, excellent cut, and I think it''s an I color. I''ll post a few pics, but there will be many more to come in the next few days.

Gorgeous ring! Congratulations!

And I can''t say fiance out loud either, also largely because of that Seinfeld episode! I can type it here, but that''s it! So my fiance is always referred to as my boyfriend in real life!

Congrats, beesknees! Your ring is simply gorgeous...yum yum! Thank goodness I never saw the episode of Seinfeld you are speaking of...I got to call my DH "fiance" for 9 months and loved every minute of it (wonder if people were thinking of that episode when I said it? LOL)...but I''m sure your "FI" will understand, hee hee. Enjoy your engagement and wedding planning...we''ll be here for you should you need help planning your wedding! Congrats again!

Congratulations! The ring is lovely.

As for the fiance thing, I have a friend at work who hates the word, so of course I take great delight in referring to her FH as her "affianced" every chance I get.
