So glad your smart fiance made this a pre-trip surprise... you are going to have the time of your life enjoying the trip as a newly-engaged couple!!! Congratulations and enjoy every minute... you deserve it!!!!

Mandarine,

happy first morning as an engaged woman!

I''m glad you''re holding off on planning for a bit. Savor in this time, it truly is magical. We waited about 3 weeks before we started making plans and just had so much fun being engaged!

OH MY GOSH! OH MY GOSH! OH MY GOSH! SOOOOOOO happy for you! It''s finally your turn!!! You get to take your own name off the list - how fun! I think there is a little something to being the list keeper - it brings things to a head, and they either get engaged or end up moving on... Lucky for you, it was engaged!!! Can''t wait to see pics!!!! Congratulations!

[Mandarine]

Ok...I got pictures!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you everyone for your kind comments!!! I''m SO happy!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is just a crazy feeling, I''ve had plenty of dreams about this and knew I would be happy! but I had no idea that this level of happiness was possible

Ok, so the ring (since this is PS and I know what you guys want!!. I''m not a diamond expert at all, but this ring is absolutely beautiful! Today at work everyone was drooling over it

. My dear FI did so much reserach and I think he did so well!. It''s from BN, platinum 4-prong, 1.5, G, SI1...it''s sooo beautiful, I''m not a good picture taker though....so the pictures don''t do it justice!!!!!!

Ok, without further ado...

 

[Mandarine]

This was right after! I was still very red!!!

 

[Mandarine]

Here I''m sitting at the table, where it all happenned!

 

[Mandarine]

In this picture instead of saying "cheeese" he said "we''re getting married!!!!!!!!". My smile almost doesn''t fit in my face!
