My parents called me this weekend to make plans to meet in NYC for some apartment hunting. Yesterday we rolled out of bed at the butt-crack of dawn, ready to drive from Boston to New York yet again for another fruitless march around the city. I called my mom to make sure she was bringing her paperwork, packed what I''d need for the day, and got into the car with my guy.

On the way, he decides that 95 will be faster than our usual Mass Pike/84/etc route and veers off course. I, predictably, freak out and begin fretting about what if we''re late and my parents are stranded at Penn Station and 95 is NEVER FASTER, but eventually I settle in. As we get closer to 495, he says "Wouldn''t it be nice to go to the Cape instead?" and takes the exit. I rev back into full-out fret mode (Now we''re going to be late! Stop fooling around!) until it dawns on me that perhaps we were never going to New York at all.

Do you see where I''m going with this?

Fast forward several hours later, and I''ve been ferried to Martha''s Vineyard, checked into a waterside hotel with a HUGE bed and little L''Occitane bath thingies, escorted around the wonderful little towns, and proposed to on the beach!

I made him repeat it twice, just to make sure I could soak it all in. After that we hear clapping, because apparently this lady was watching us. Hee! She was thrilled. We were thrilled. My finger is extra-thrilled.

At one point my parents called to tell me their train was going to be very, very late. I called them dirty liars but immediately forgave them. Score yet another one for the boyfriend fiance who is the king of surprises.

I''m attaching a few pictures because you ladies have been so good to me. I''m sure there will be more over in SMTR as soon as I sort through all my hundreds of choices.

Yay! Thanks for putting up with me! Even though I was never officially on the LIW list, I wish stays as short as my virtual one was to the ladies in waiting.

Last one for now; I''ve got to email these to all my real-life friends who are waiting for photos. I knew the PriceScopers would appreciate the hand shots more, though...

And sweet proposal story!

We need more pics...and stats!
 
Beautiful ring! What a sweet surprise proposal! Congratulations!
 
oops...nevermind I found the stats on your other thread! It''s gorgeous, and looks way bigger than .94 on your hand! what finger size are you?

(off to check if that''s on the other thread too...lol)
 
Thank you so much for all the compliments! I can''t wait to post more pictures, but I''ve got to resize them first.

I''m a size 5 (which I''ve discovered is a little loose in air conditioned rooms) and it''s .94 (HVS1, ex/ex/ex) with another .12 in pave and surprise diamonds. No DSS yet, and I''m hoping it stays that way because I''m keeping this one forever!
 
Congratulations!!! That''s a great surprise proposal and your ring is gorgeous
 
Congrats, your ring is stunning and what a sneaky fiance you have. Too bad you weren''t officially on the list, you would''ve been my first one to cross off.

Kudos to your now Fiance! He did a great job on the proposal! And your rcok is gorgeous! Best of luck!
 
Congratulations! Your ring is beautiful. What a great surprise proposal... I am also from the Boston area and have always thought that a Cape proposal would be very romantic!

What a gorgeous story and a beautiful ring!!

I loved Boston when I visisted (I am from far away Aussie land!) and was so upset that I didn''t have enough time to head to the Cape. It sounds like it was a perfect, wonderful, romantic proposal AND even better is that he managed to surprise you!

Congratulations!

Thanks, ladies! The Cape was beautiful. I''d only been a very few times in the past, and all of my visits were made during off-season times. So, not only was this my first trip to Martha''s Vineyard, it was my first trip to a Cape beach in summertime! I''d highly recommend it to anybody planning a MA vacation in the future. And if the vacation includes a proposal, so much the better.
