....because I GOT ENGAGED TOO!!!!! lovey, jennyt, me. wow! and not even a holiday! I''m sorry that I haven''t written sooner but the past two days have been a whirlwind. So here''s the story..... I knew that it would be happening soon but just didn''t know when.
We went out to a really nice and romantic dinner at this cozy little restaurant on the Upper East Side. He had suggested earlier in the week that we go to Central Park while it was snowy and pretty. So after dinner we took a cab over to the park. He strategically had the cab drop us off at the corner of 59th and where the horse-drawn carriages wait and as we walked to the corner he said casually "ever been in one of these?" Now, mind you, i had pretty much figured out that it would happen that night but didn''t quite know how. the second he said those words I knew the time was close and it was so exciting!! the rest of the ride was kind of a blur but somewhere around Wollman rink he turned to me and said "remember how i said the other night that I wanted to wait until the summer to get engaged? well, that''s not going to be the right time for me. I want to do it sooner. I want to do it now." and then the ring came out and there were gasps and i cried and he cried and the rest of the ride was a blur! it was amazing! our driver, Jesus, turned and asked us if it was a holiday because we were the second engagement of the night. Like i said, must have been something in the water this weekend! Anyway, it was amazing and the last few days have been so exciting and memorable. Too bad I have a thesis to work on because i would much rather be researching gowns and cakes and flowers, etc! We haven''t picked an exact date yet but we are thinking sometime in spring 2006, perhaps May 6 which would be exactly six years to the date from when we met.
Now, for the ring. I don''t even have the exact specs because i haven''t even thought to ask for them. All i know it that it is completely goregous and i swear it gets more gorgeous by the hour! I do know that it is a 1.25 c, round, Ideal cut (so it''s SUPER sparkly), four prong setting in simple platinum band. I have one hand pic that i will attach but it''s from far away. Does anyone have advice for close-up pics. everytime I try to zoom in it gets really fuzzy.
so that''s my story. I feel a little bad announcing this because i haven''t been a member for that long and there are some of you saints who have been waiting a lot longer and perhaps "deserve" to be the ones making an announcement like this. But it is nice knowing that it will happen for everyone sooner than perhaps you think. Thanks to all of you for your sage advice and support!
What a romantic proposal! You must have been so cold!!!
