I got engaged christmas morning of 2010, but I never shared my story so i'm going to now
christmas eve we went to spend the night at my fiance's moms house and he was acting nervous. He insisted on carrying all the pillows in blankets in the house because he said "you always drop everything" haha (it was acutally because the ring was wrapped up in one of the pillowcases) The next morning while everyone was opening gifts I got one from him and opened it. It was a funky looking plant I had never seen before. I said "oh what a nice plant! he asked me if I knew what it was and I said no and he told me it was mistletoe and to hold it up abojve my head. Then he got down on one knee and propsed under the mistletoe! It was wonderful, I was so happy and in shock! I found out he called my mom's florist friend and asked her where he could find mistletoe. She told him this park so he went to the park and picked the mistletoe himself
he's not big on surprises or cheesy romance which made it even more amazing that he did this! it makes my heart smile when I remember it!
