I made him promise that if he doesn''t have the connection at his house by this weekend, we''ll post together from my house. He''s agreed.


I will tell you this, though, because he made me CRY!! In the sad way, too!! I thought it was going to be Tybee, right? I was SURE of it. SO, we go there, and I''m all giggly happy, so sure it''s going to be that day, right there, all blissful and stuff. We go, climb the lighthouse, I see NO ONE other than us up at the top, and that NEVER happens, so I think he worked it out that way, and I''m all happy he did this dang PLAN for what seems like 20 years. Well, we eventually come on down, and I''m not engaged. So then I''m sure it''ll be at the beach. We never even went down to the shoreline!! I was like, "hmm, that''d be too obvious, I guess. We go to Savannah, have dinner down by the riverfront, and then we sit and talk by the river. He''s all sweet and my heart is like "YES!!!" But, NOTHING. All this sweet stuff about how I''ll be a wonderful wife and mother and how God''s surely blessed him in abundance, particularly in regard to us and our relationship and our loving one another all our lives as we serve Him, and I''m totally sure, I mean SURE he''s going to ask. What does he do? He gets me by the hand, and takes me to the CAR!! I was sure he''d not ask at the car, so I''m thinking he''ll take me somewhere else cute, maybe to get that giant cookie I''ve been craving for dessert for weeks now. Nope. We get back on the highway and LEAVE!!

Leave the place I thought he was going to propose. I couldn''t help but cry.

What a booger head, huh?

*heeehee, this is making up for him making me NOT tell the REST of the story!! I''ll post the sad part first. He''s gonna love that!!*
 
Oh my gosh!! So much stress put upon you!

I''ve been following your saga, but never posted. I get uncomfortable just reading this after how patient you''ve been waiting for the "perfect" time. Take care, dear one! That being said - Congratulations and I can''t wait to see your engagement ring.

Hey Jen -

That SO sounds like me in SF... "Is it here??? ok, not here.... Is it here???? no, ok.... what about here??? NO? Really?" It was torture for me, so I understand how tortourous that was for you!!! Now I want to hear the rest of the story!!!

I''m so happy for you! I wish we could hear the rest, since I''m not all that patient, but I will try to be! Very exciting and I''m sure you were going crazy
32.gif
when he didn''t propose at any of the multitude of times that he could''ve. Boy are they frustrating. But it ended well! Yay!!
36.gif
Congratulations!
 
I woulda cried, too, Fisher -- that bites. But I'm sure that if that was where he *didn't* propose, then it HAD to be good! Tell him we're a bunch of ladies who quite clearly lack ANY FORM OF (bleepin') PATIENCE and we will all just keel over and die if he doesn't post soon!

Though I haven''t posted much, I''ve been following your story & am so happy for you guys. You seem like such sweet people--that''s wonderful that you''ve found each other.

Now we are all LIWs for your engagement story & ring pics! I hope that fiance of yours posts soon.

(What if he wrote the story in Word & emailed it to you or someone else on PS who could post it? Just a thought...you know how patient we are around here...

)
 
CONGRATS to you both!
CAn''t wait to hear the whole story and see the ring.
 
That is so mean!!! GRRRRRR!!! How dare he make you cry!!!! Well, it better have been good I guess. I''ll be anxiously awaiting for this weekend and I''ll be checking from M''s computer on Friday while he''s at work!!! Can you tell us which setting he decided on? Or is that part of the big secret?

Nobody here is waiting patiently LOL...come on Paul. Anyone remember his user name...I can''t for the life of me remember and I don''t want to miss the story
2.gif
 
I think it''s Argh&Stuff...I hope!

Yeah, I was *so* sad when I thought he was unsure of what he wanted. I mean, why take a girl to the place where you''ve all but made CLEAR that you want to ask her to be your wife, then say NOTHING? I was in tears, for a while. He apparently didn''t know I''d react that way *I DON''T KNOW FOR THE LIFE OF ME WHY HE''D NOT KNOW I''D CRY IN THAT SITUATION.* He was adamant about having this durned surprise factor, though.

Anyway, I will tell you he made up for it, and had it planned all along, so his *surprise* was delivered fully. The ring is F*A*B*U*L*O*U*S* and he laughed at me because when he got out to get gas on the way home, he caught me admiring it under the dim gas station lighting coming through the car window. It was glimmering and twinkling, just for me! I love it! It''s the diamond I thought he''d gotten, and it''s perfect, to me, anyway. It''s in the setting just like Small''s, but with the tuliphead. I think it looks almost exactly like the WaterLily, only the metal that comes up to make the cathedral isn''t *quite* as delicate in this ring as in the original. It doesn''t sit very high, and the tulip that the diamond nests in sits level with the base of the ring, just like I was hoping. My favorite part of it *for today, I change my mind all the time* is that it sparkles all sorts of colors, and not just flashes of white. It''s great!

Paul''s probably gonna be a bit arghy with me himself for telling as much as I have, but dang, after yammering on and on around here for what seems like forever, how can I NOT talk to my friends?

Sk8rJen,

I about died when Paul and I went to a book store at the mall in Savannah this weekend and he DROPPED to his knee to pick up a Suduko book for me at the magazine stand. Heehee! For a split second, I thought, "is he going to ask me HERE??" Then when he got up and handed me the book, I couldn''t help but laugh and think of you and your sweetie boy.

I still think he did the knee thing just to be a punk, though.

DOESN''T he, though?

He''s not even home from work yet for me to bug him about finally posting! And he has my camera, so even if I decided to *bend* the promise I made, I couldn''t post any pretty pictures. Most of them are blurry and scary looking anyway, though. Still, I''d like to play around with it.
 
Hmm. I''ve not heard from my boy since lunch time today, and I''m starting to fret. I know it does no good, but it''s never this late when we talk at night. I thought he was just at work a bit late, but now I''m a tad worried. I am trying not to freak out, but his cell phone is turned off and I can''t for the life of me remember him saying he was going to be doing anything in particular tonight that''d keep us from being able to talk. We''d actually planned to talk earlier than usual, so we''d have more time to read, since we''re a couple days behind in our daily routine.

Ah, I''m ever the worry wart.
 
Now you''ll have to tell us if he calls, Fisher!

The ring sounds wonderful! That''s one of the first things he posted about! As a matter of fact, his first name on here was a flower name because he had a tulip setting in mind from the start!
 
He called. He had his phone turned off from the work day, then went to the School Box to get some supplies and in the process, his cell slid under the seat of his car. It took him a couple of hours to find it. He even went back to the store, to check if they''d had any turned in, because he knew I''d be in a semi-panick over not hearing from him. I''m such a nerd sometimes.

Oh, and I also have some real ARGH&STUFF news from him: He told me last night he may NOT be able to come up this weekend because of all the school stuff he''s still trying to get completed before Monday. Sadness. I''m hoping he''s saying it only to prepare me IN CASE, and then that he''s wrong and is able to make it up. I miss him tons already, *and* he has my camera!!
 
Fisher, although I haven''t posted before I''ve been anxiously following your saga! It''s been so much fun and I''m soooo happy for you. Can''t wait to hear the whole story but it sounds like it was perfect--he really had you going, huh? OK, Paul, hurry up, we''re not very patient here!! Congratulations!!
 
ah yes...now I remember it''s been such a long time since we''ve talked to him LOL. Can''t wait to see the ring Jen...get those pictures up soon! So glad you like it and Paul chose to go with Wink...I''m sure it''s of the highest quality
2.gif
 
So Fisher, now that the wait is over, have you gone back and read his thread yet??? It would be so cute to do that now! Especially at the point where we all figured out who he was and told him not to post!!!

My FI just sent me an email exchange he had with a friend prior to the proposal and it was so cute reading it! I think you''d probably enjoy it too!
 
Sumbride, he had it printed off and gave it to me, soon after I gave him the letter I''d written him back in May, when I was CRAZY excited to marry him and was so overly anxious it was almost making him insane.

It was sweet and precious and we did a lot of happy crying over those pages.
 
SO sweet!!! I wish he''d hurry up and tell us the whole story!!!
 
Congratulations, Fisher! What a bumper crop of highly-anticipated engagements this week! I can''t wait to hear the rest of the story.
 
Fisher -- That was pretty funny/mean of Paul to drop to his knee, but how cute you remembered my sudoku story
2.gif
I''m glad Paul''s ok -- tell him the level of impatience here rises every day he doesn''t post!
