Minnesota-Minneapolis and St. Paul

New here!! :)

Hi all!

I just got engaged a couple days ago and wanted to introduce myself! To be honest I have been lurking on the board for a while, and am looking forward to getting to know you guys!

My fiance surprised me with a date night to the Saint Paul Grill (where we had our first date and first anniversary dinner) and when we arrived there were a dozen roses at our table and a scrapbook/memory book entitled "our first year" (we have been dating for about 2.5 years) anyways, he made me wait until after dinner to look at it together. He had saved movie tickets, trip momentos, theater tickets, etc etc from our first year or so of dating. At the end of it there was a card I had given him that was very sweet about wanting to spend my life with him. He had me read it to him a couple times and then said that was exactly how he felt. He said a bunch of other nice things and then got down on one knee and asked.

It was a very fun night! Looking forward to talking with you more!

    Congrats and welcome!  Thanks for the intro too :)

    Ditto Legg- do you have a date yet? Pick out any vendors?  Don't be afraid to ask for recommendations!  Also feel free to check out the FAQs in the MSP bio (in my sig.)

    Thanks everyone! We actually don't have a date set yet- The plan is to start planning in October. We are hoping to just get married down here sometime next September or October. I am pretty flexible with that though! We are just starting to think budget and how many to invite.

    I haven't seen the MSP-St. Paul Bio yet- that's awesome! Totally going to use it.

    Hi!  What a sweet story!  My proposal was basically "hey, they don't have that ring at Shane anymore because I bought it.  Will you marry me?"  At least he got down on his knee.

    This board really is an incredible resource.  I've only got about half my stuff done, and a lot of the stuff I've gone with have come from this board.
