I booked a weekend in Chicago to see my (now) finance, Nick. His parents paid for it and when I got there, he already had a plan in mind. He took me for a whole Saturday to shop along Magnificant Mile and dinner in Downtown Chicago, with a sunset walk along Navy Pier (my favorite spot!)
He couldn't of planned it more perfect. When we stopped in the middle of Navy Pier to look at the sunset over the skyline, I commented on how beautiful it was to look at. He then said "not as beautiful as you, Anne". Knowing me, I always roll my eyes and say something like "yeah right! I'm not beautiful!". So I turned toward him to start to say something and he was down on one knee! Of course, I started to ball my eyes out. He stood up and hugged me and at that moment I said "YES!!"
The ring is a family heirloom from the 1950s. I love it!! I'll be going in soon to see if it needs cleaning. But I couldn't be happier!!
