Will you MAUI me?

[mintve]

YIPEEE!! You can take me off the list!!! My new FI surprised me in Maui at the Luau on our trip to Hawaii!

It was so sweet! I started planning our trip last June and even shopped for a dress and shirt for us to wear to the Luau. Kendall knew I was really excited about it and made it extra special! I also had a good hair and make-up day that day, so I felt pretty and it was our first full day in Hawaii, so I was feeling relaxed and very happy to be on vacation.

Anyway, while at the luau, after dinner, our waiter brought a dessert tray to our table and told us all about the desserts, then he told me I had a special plate. On the plate w/ my dessert was a HUGE pretend ring. We are talking about 2'' in diameter. I was in shock and just kept saying, "kendall are you serious>???" he got down on one knee and made a speech, then popped the question!

He wanted to suprise me and he did! He also gave me a temporary ring b/c he knew I picked one out, but wanted me to have something to wear in the meantime.

I am so excited and it starting to sink in that we are ENGAGED!!!!

thanks! I have to admit I stole it from Sex and the City. Aiden said it to Carrie when he was trying to get her to marry him.

 

[MoonWater]

I am such a late bloomer for that show. I catch episodes now and then and it''s always really good.

 

[redfaerythinker]
