eat, drink & be married

put me back on

kim kardashians engagement ring…. The 16.5-carat emerald cut center stone, flanked by a pair of 2-carat trapezoids, for a total weight of 20.5 carats

 Another high request lately, is exactly how I was proposed to:

I have been with my Fiance for just under 7 years now,  and we also live together so I cannot say I was ONE HUNDRED percent surprised when he proposed. Earlier Thursday, he asked me to get very nicely dressed up because he was taking me for dinner.

He picked me up at 6, and asked me to keep my eyes closed during the drive. When I finally opened them, we were in our hometown (nearly two hours * traffic and weather*  from where we live now).

At this point I was incredibly confused, I had no idea what we were doing there and he did everything in his power to throw me off. We arrived at a very nice restaurant and as we walked in I began to cry because the suspense and the nerves were absolutely killing me.

When we turned the corner into the main dining room, my parents were both there, and had been there for about an hour waiting for us. They, of course, claimed it was nothing but pure coincidence that we were all there at the same time.

Almost 2 hours went by and of course by then I had about 70 text messages and emails from friends saying “where are you” “did he not propose” “what is going on”.

Our waiter came around and asked us all if we had wanted anything for dessert, and I don’t eat very much dessert so I of course, said no. When he, and many other waitresses came back they brought the dessert trays and a man in a suit was also standing there….

He introduced himself as the owner/manager of the restaurant and said that he would offer me dessert on the house and right after he said so he pulled a huge tray from behind him and placed it on the table.

The tray, of course, had the opened ring box on it…. And Tyler got down on one knee and at this point the majority of the staff and people eating were standing up awaiting my answer.

I shook me head yes, obviously, and everyone clapped….

It was incredibly wonderful and like something out of a movie, I wouldn’t have wanted it any  other way.

=)

Ill tell you guys ALL about it later today!
