That''s right! He proposed! Here is the story:
A little background first. He had a short trip to Vegas planned for us and the days leading up to the trip he was very sick with a bad chest cold. I convinced him to see the doctor so it wouldn''t spoil the trip. I had a feeling he MIGHT propose this trip but I thought with him feeling lousy he might wait. He was feeling much better the morning we left and I thought I was lucky enough not to catch what he had... Boy was I wrong! Not more than an hour into the flight, I am coughing and completely stuffed up! I was the one who ended u being sick for the trip! So.... Now to the proposal...
We were only to be in Vegas 3 days and 2 nights. His original plan was to do it that first night and have the rest of the time to enjoy ourselves as a newly engaged couple but my being sick made him switch up his plan. So our first night there it didn''t happen.
Next day comes and he takes me out to see the sights in Vegas and we have a great time seeing all the hotels and the sights, swimming etc... We head back to our hotel room after what was already a great day when he tells me that I have 2 hours to get ready for a surprise.... All he will tell me is that I have to really dress up (good thing he insisted I packed my favorite strapless dress).
He took me to the Venetian Hotel which is absolutely beautiful and we took a private gondola ride through the canals. During the ride he was telling me how happy he was and how perfect the trip had been so far and how much he loves me and wants to spend the rest of his life with me, then the gondolier starts serenading us in Italian and he continues telling me all these sweet things and then he tells me that he something for me. He gets down on one knee right there in the boat and takes a flower out of his pocket, only it is not a real flower but a small ring box made to look like a rose and he tells me how happy I make him and how he can''t imagine his life without me and that is so nervous he forget everything he wanted and planned to say and then he asks me if I will marry him and be his wife. I teared up but didn''t cry surprisingly and kept saying "oh my god" "oh my god" and he opened the "flower" to reveal the ring! I said YES and he slipped it on my finger and he kissed me while still kneeling in front of me with the guy still singing and that is when I hear people clapping! I had been oblivious to the fact that there were now about 25-30 people standing around watching us and they burst into applause when he kissed! It was truly magical and perfect, so much more than I ever expected!
After the ride was over we found out the hotel had a professional photographer who had captured most of it on film and the Venetian gave us a bunch of 5x7 prints and a couple of photo magnets of the proposal for FREE. Everyone was congratulating us and another older couple got us a bottle of champagne to celebrate. Then he took me to an amazing restaurant at the top of the Stratosphere Hotel called "Top of the World". He said it described exactly how he felt. The restaurant sits sooo high off the ground and you have the most amazing veiws of the city and lights and it revolves around slowly so you have gorgeous views!
All through dinner we couldn''t stop smiling and just enjoying each other!
He keeps catching me staring at the ring and catching the light with it and he just smiles. He did such a good job picking it out! I will try to attach the hand shots I took with my digital camera but they are not that good since my macro setting stinks!
Ring details:
.9 RBS (we actually looked at a bunch of sizes and thought that a 1 carat looked best on my petite fingers but when he saw this .9 carat one, he said it took his breath away and it actually looks bigger than any of the 1 or 1.2 carats we looked at...) I haven''t got the specs. from him yet but will post them when I do!
I am so happy!
