Edited to add: yes that is the ring, yes it is on my left hand. The photos are from my Mac and therefore backwards. Much more info to come + thank you for the well wishes. We are, of course, excited.

OH & PS – i am glad someone else was proposed to in the kitchen besides me…. . It is very cute you were both jammified too. Say, the fridge wasn’t open and you weren’t getting milk out of it were you? Which you then promptly spilt on the floor in surprise? NO, probly not 🙂
Will we get to see a closeup of the sparkler!
Do you have your answers ready for when the rels start with the barrage of “When’sthewedding?Whenwillyoubebreeding?Wherewillyousendthemtouniversity?” type of questions…..
Cheerio.

Congratulations! What a perfect way to do it. Comfortable and happy and forever. Hopefully the rest of your lives are exactly the same.
My husband proposed by accidently smacking my head into a door, later knocking my hand onto a pan and rounding the night out by breaking 2 of my toes when he reversed his office chair back over them. I made a sarcastic comment about him marrying me or just living with me until i was really broken. He said we should get married. I said..sure.. i am marrying YOU. He repeated his willingness to marry me every hour or so until I stopped laughing and showing him wounds and said fine. find a date.
10 years later..we still laugh and we still show each other wounds and we still forgive and forget. I wouldn’t swap that for anything.
I hope you guys are just as happy!LikeLike
