Unbeknownst to me, I thwarted all of my fiance's plans!
He wanted to propose to me at the ice rink during an open skate session (I am a competitive figure skater), but when he suggested going skating, I didn't feel like going to the rink because my synchronized skating team's season just ended and last Sunday was the first Sunday since August that I didn't have to be at the rink all afternoon.
He then suggested we go to dinner. However, I had been out of town the entire week before, was kind of sick of eating in restaurants and wanted to cook.
We had just gotten home from taking the kids (his 2 sons from his first marriage, we have full custody) to Sunday school, and I was emptying the dishwasher when my fiancee called me into the living room and told me to sit down in my armchair. He handed me a wrapped gift. I opened it and it was a Lego bride and groom set. I kind of looked at it confused and he told me to open the box, and when I dumped out the pieces, the ring was in there among all the pieces. He proposed whle his 8 yr old promptly snatched up the Lego pieces and assembled it for us. Turns out the Lego set was the kids' idea and they had known all about this for a few days!
