Big news--I'm engaged!!

I was having a really stressful week last week so I decided to call and ask my mom to keep my daughter on Friday. Ben and I decided to go eat at Marco’s, which is one of my favorite restaurants in town. We sat and had a few drinks and I began to feel calm and in a good mood.

All through dinner Ben kept mentioning that he wanted tiramisu, which is not normal for him because I’m usually the one to order dessert. He must have mentioned it three times. At one point I went to the bathroom. I came back, and dinner was on the table. I had a delicious filet and he had chicken parmesan. We ate at a leisurely pace then Ben ordered dessert and coffee.

The waitress brough out the tiramisu and sat it right in front of me. I was like, “Hahah, look, she gave it to me.” Then Ben said, “Look at it.” And then I realized that it had a ring in it and I was of speechless. Then he asked me to marry him and I said yes, and everyone in the restaurant clapped. I was stunned and so happy. It was like something out of a movie. The ring was a perfect fit, and it was so beautiful, but mostly I was happy that Ben really and truly wants to be with me forever.

I know it’s mundane and pointless to everyone else, but I just had to share! :smiley:

Woot! congrats! :slight_smile:

Congratulations! I hope you two find true happiness together.

Wow, congratulations! That sounds really romantic; not mundane or pointless at all! Best of luck to y’all!

That’s so great! He sounds like a wonderful guy. I hope you two have a long and happy marriage!

Awww…

I’m so jealous.

Cool. May Happiness and Joy follow you throughout your lives together.

YAY!

I give him 12 points (out of a possible ten) for creative proposal ideas.

Two bonus points for mixing dessert and diamonds.

Wow! I’m just a little jealous too. Congrats!

Congratulations! And props to Ben - what a wonderful way to propose!

Congratulations!
