I've been "lurking" on these boards for a couple of months now, and finally writing a thread... I have a lot to say- Don't say I didn't warn you! We are getting very close to "the big day" and are so excited!
Where/when we met:
DF and I met in Jr. High...and finally got together in High School. We were best friends for a long time, talked on the phone every night and hung out a lot. We started dating when I was 15 and a sophmore in hs. We have been together almost 10 years!
The Proposal
DF and I were on vacation Oct. 2006. We wanted to try to get reservations at the castle before we left for Disney. DF called every day (and so did his mom) until we actually got a reservation. I think that they told the dining reservations people that he was planning on proposing. I was so excited to know that we were going to have dinner in the castle...and I wasn't expecting any more than that. We arrived in Disney on a Tuesday and had dinner on Saturday at 7 or 8. Wouldn't you know that there was a parade so we were almost late for our reservations and the guard at the castle reluctantly let us in! Finally we got there and waited in line to have our picture taken with Cinderella. Mind you DF and I have been together like 8.5 years at this point, so every bride and groom ears that I saw I made a comment. I drove him crazy. We were in line behind a couple that was "dresssed to the nines!" She had on a little black dress and he was in a suit. I felt very under-dressed, however I still mananged to sneak in a comment...something along the lines of "I bet fancy pants couple is going to get engaged." Little did I know that my ring was in his pocket the entire time! After having a pretty good dinner (they put egg in my salad-I hate eggs), and watching the fireworks from a prospective I have never seen before We were having dessert. Might I add, we had the best seat in the place-right by the window! The Fairy Godmother and the mice came out and sang and danced, and of course I didn't have my camera-hooray for camera phones. Not a spectacular picture, but at least I had something to remember this evening. The Fairy Godmother asked "if anyone had anything special that they wanted to celebrate?" I think I said "I wish that we had something to celebrate!" Little did I know that DF raised his hand and placed the ring on the table with the box opened. I was staring at the most beautiful ring that I had ever seen. I was not expecting it at all...I said nothing for probably 2 minutes. I accepted and jumped up and gave him a big hug and kiss! The restaraunt gave us a set of toasting flutes, which we are going to use on our wedding day. It was so perfect- even with my snide comments!
more to come!
