We're engaged!

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share

I proposed to my girlfriend today, and she said yes! I’m happy!

The rundown:

We went to the beach and took our cooler and picnic basket with us. I hid the ring under the bread, and waited a couple hours. After sunbathing for a while, I asked her if she wanted lunch. She agreed that it sounded good, and I told her to get the sandwiches going while I got the drinks out of the cooler.

So, she opens the picnic basket and. . . doesn’t take the bread out of it! I had to reach over and move it for her so she would see the ring. After a look of utter disbelief and shock, she started crying (I was braced for that!). I had slyly positioned myself of one knee while getting the drinks out of the cooler, took her hand, and asked her to be my wife. She said yes, but only after trembling for what felt like an eternity.

I’m happy! Yay!

Hal, you realize I have to highlight every single one of your posts now, don’t you?

Frippin-fratzin subliminal messages are driving me freaking bananas.

She started crying?

Maybe she wanted Wonder Bread. ( :slight_smile: )
What a great proposal. I give it a 9.8

It would be a perfect ten if there were some inadvertant swearing or the ring was lost in the sand or if a stray dog came up as you proposed and took a dump right next to you.
I wish you much happiness and I will only give this peice of advice.

It’s not love, its a competition.

You’ll understand after a decade or so.

Shhhhh! Don’t let the secret out! :wink:
Or everyone will be finding out about the secret plot to take over the board!

Aww. Congratulations.

I wanna get married, too.

I’m sure you’ll have a wonderful time being engaged, married and growing old together.

Revenge of the Sequential Thread Titles:

“We’re engaged!” (wmulax93)

“He dumped me…” (torie)

I hope this doesn’t mean anything … today’s my fourteenth wedding anniversary … :slight_smile:

So, you’ve got a gal in Kalamazoo?
Don’t want to boast but you know she’s the toast of Kalamazoo?

And the answer is: 14 posts! I knew that song would come up, and FTR, it’s played at every WMU football halftime show. . . I love it.

Thanks everyone for the congratulations, I’m still letting it settle in.

The pause between you asking and her answering was the longest 5 seconds ever, right? :smiley:
