Just got engaged!!!

[Dr.Cinderella]

Hello everyone! I was previously mostly just a lurker but I wanted to post because I am engaged to my boyfriend, Chris, of 5 years finally and we are so ecstatic!! He proposed to me last Saturday, then we left on a cruise for the past week the following morning so we got to escape reality and celebrate all week long! It was amazing. So heres the story: I was getting ready to start packing for our trip on Saturday morning and Chris told me I would have to pack later, because he had a suprise for me. He is very romantic and surprises me a lot, so I was not suspicious at all the entire day. First he took me out to lunch, and then for ice cream (my favorite!) at this cute little ice cream parlor, and then to a very nice swimwear store (where I have never been before bc it is very expensive lol) to buy me a new suit for our trip. It was an amazing day already. Then he told me that he had one more suprise for me but I had to be blindfolded. He drove around with me blindfolded (and scared haha) for a while and then we got out and he leaded me somewhere. When he told me to take off the blindfold we were in front of the waterfall in a local park where we had taken our pictures before my senior prom 5 years earlier and he was down on one knee! He was crying and I was in complete shock, but it was so beautiful and incredible. I hadnt noticed at first but there was a whole crowd of people in the park watching and clapping, and Chris's Dad was taking pictures of the whole thing! I dont know how to post them, but they are just gorgeous! It was absolutely the best day of my life! The ring was his mothers which she is passing down to us, and it is 3 round cut diamonds, 2.5 carats all together, with white gold and is just beautiful! So now I am engaged to my best friend and the love of my life, and I am so happy. We are going to wait a few years to get married until I am out of school. I am in my first year of medical school and Chris is a massage therapist who is going back to school this year to become an RN. But it will definitely be in Disney World!! I cant wait! Just wanted to share, thanks everyone for all your inspiration for my future plans!! :

Congrats on your engagement!

You're going to have so much fun planning....it's never too early to start. I got engaged 11/07 and started planning right after the holidays and I'm so glad I did because now, I'm getting married in less than 6 months and pretty much everything is done and that equals less stress for me .....and him!
