Take me off the list, ladies!

He proposed Saturday night on our winery trip (as I expected). We arrived at Belhurst Castle (www.belhurst.edu) to have dinner with our group (we were there with four other couples). The one dining area was full and some people in our party were suggesting we go somewhere else. My FI got nervous that we were not going to stay there for dinner, so he pulled aside a friend and told her we needed some time alone. He led me up two staircases to the top hallway of the castle.

In between giving me little kisses, he said some sweet things about how much he loves me and how amazing the past five years have been. He said he really wishes his grandfather (passed away before we met and whom FI was very close to) could have met me, he would have loved me, and would approve of what he''s about to ask me. He pulled the ring box out of his pocket, dropped to his knee , fumbled very nervously getting the ring out of the box, and he started to choke up and cry. With tears in his eyes he managed to get out those four little words! I, of course, started to cry as well and said YES!

I''m exhausted from the trip and all the excitement, but I''m over the moon happy and can''t stop looking at my ring!

Pics to follow!
 
That is so sweet, congratulations!

I hope we get to see pictures soon.

Thanks so much, ladypirate! It''s from a local jeweler here in Pennsylvania (http://www.petrosjewelers.com/) . Every time I go out of town, I''m told that our jewelry is unique to the area and unlike most traditional jewelry! I grew up with similar settings (silver and gemstones), so it felt right to have the same style in my e-ring!
 
against the wine glass - only appropriate since we were on a winery event!

I love your ring; it is so unique and beautiful! Congrats on a lovely engagement!
 
Congrats! I knew it! Lovely ring!
 
Wow, I LOVE your setting! I''ve never seen a ring like that before. Congratulations on your engagement!
 
Thanks so much, everyone!

I''ve been waiting and waiting to start planning for REAL and now that I''m able to, I''m too wiped out! : ) Tonight we''re going to the bookstore so I can pick up some bridal mags and wedding planning books! Yay!

I hope to see all the LIW over on the BWW forum... I almost forgot to put my name on the list over there!
 
Oooo, I love your ring! What a beautiful story :D Congratulations!
 
Congratulations!! Your proposal sounds really lovely and I love your ring! It''s so unusual and very individual!
 
Thanks for the ring comments - I love it. I know it''s a baby by PS standards, but perfect for me and our budget! I think it''s interesting to hear how unique my setting is - almost every woman I know has a similar style to their rings thanks to our local goldcrafters!

I''ll get a shot later of the profile -the diamonds are set in the bezels, and the bezels are set up on a bridge that lifts up from the band.
 
ohh i like you ring its very unique!!

your proposal sounded perfect and sweet!!

COnGratS!!!
