Proposal story-- I kind of ruined his plans... I had taken off work one friday and planned a little surprise getaway for us... I called him at work and asked him if he could do me a huge favor and get me something from home and bring it to me at work... well he got home to find a note on the table for him to take a shower, put on his dress shirt and meet me at ****** Hotel... he called me (almost annoyed) and told me he'd be a little late but when he did show up at the hotel he was acting all funny and he hadn't been in the door 10 minutes before he pulled the ring out and asked me!! but unknown to me he had been planning on going to the jewelers to pick up my ring that night so he could talk to my parents about asking me to marry him that weekend so he had to call my mom on the way and ask her on the phone lol and then he was just too nervous to wait til after supper lol
Oh and the ring includes the center stone fom his grandmother's engagement ring :-)
