Not Engaged Yet

Santa was very good to me this year

I seriously never thought Bill would propose on Christmas!!! We got home from my grandparents on Christmas Eve and he told me he needed to figure out if he was going to wrap my presents then or in the morning. I got into my pajamas and started getting ready for bed. At about 12:15 he came back upstairs and was in the living room, I asked if I could go in there to get my pillow thinking he might be wrapping. He told me to come out. I went into the livingroom, grabbed my pillow, played with our dog for a minute, and turned around. There he was holding the ring box! He said, "I love you so much and I want to be with you forever. Will you marry me?" He even got on one knee! I made sure to say yes and proceeded to freak out!!!

It was a huge surprise because, although we had discussed getting married fairly soon, he told me years ago that he would never propose on Christmas or my birthday. Turns out he changed his mind! I really worked out well because we see both of our extended families on Christmas so we were able to tell everyone the news in person!

Oh and he did great on the ring! Exactly what I've always hoped for!

    Thanks everyone! We're so excited! We're going to try and plan a wedding for late summer or early fall 2010...we might be crazy but it's worth a shot! I registered for a Bridal Show on Jan. 10 so I'll get some ideas then. Until then, we're just really happy. Our moms are ecstatic!

    Congratulations! 

    You truly only need 2 months to plan a wedding.  Our engagement was exactly 6 months and 6 days but the bulk of the wedding was planned in 2 months.

    Congratulations! I have no personal experience whatsoever on the matter but I'm sure you'll be fine planning a wedding for that time.

    Congratulations!

    And I agree with Mutley.  FI and I got engaged Oct. 28.  Had we really wanted to, we could've planned the entire wedding and be getting married in January since my dress came in so much earlier than expected.  I kind of wish we were since now it feels like we're just biding our time since most everything is done.  Luckily, I like DIY, so I get to occupy myself that way.  You should be fine planning a wedding in 6 months.  :-)

    Thanks Acro, the one thing I worry about is availability of places and vendors. My sister is good friends with the girl that does all of the bookings for the county parks and all Saturdays in the summer are booked. I'm not against Friday at all and might actually prefer it so we'll have to keep that idea in mind.

    Thanks for the support though ladies! I appreciate it!
