First of all, please forgive me if this post is a bit rusty — six (seven if you count vacation!) is a long time to be away from the blogging world. No worries, I will do my best to make it as interesting as possible!!
A number of events occured while I was on hiatus, the biggest one, in my opinion, was that one of my very best friends got engaged. I was unreachable when the engagement happened, and therefore was filled in weeks later on what exactly took place. I always love the engagement stories — they are either incredibly cute, or horrifyingly wrong, or somewhere in between.
Knowing these two people personally, I think it was terrible cute how my friend's fiance proposed. The pair were on vacation, and she, not wanting to get her hopes up, had diverted her thoughts from any kind of proposal...which may have been why she was not expecting anything when the two went for a walk on the beach. One, I might add, that turned out to be longer than she wanted and turned into her turning around early and heading back to the hotel — ignoring her then-boyfriend's pleas to slow down.
It took him running up to her, stopping her and then the two of them looking in the air — only to see the banner flying behind the airplane was upside down....but the proposal was still the same, even if it was botched.
It seems everyone is getting engaged lately — so let's here those stories!! How did the proposal go? Was it good or bad...or just somewhere in-between?

roxy, i'm so glad you're back! i love that proposal story, how cute! that sounds like something i would do to a guy who is trying to ask me to marry him. yeah, it really does seem like there have been lots of engagements lately (and i mean LOTS). unfortunately i dont have any stories as cute as yours.
my best friend got engaged while they were at a cabin in the woods. Her then boyfriend built a fire and they were snuggling by it when he pulled out her dream ring and said, how would you like to put up with me for the rest of your life? She made him get on his knee and propose the "correct" way and of course she said yes.
Not awry, but over the top ...

"As proposals go, the engagement of Robert Gray Jr. and Keisha Williams was a breathtaking affair: An eight-hour surprise journey for the bride-to-be through 10 rooms and suites at the Buckhead Ritz-Carlton, each room filled with dozens of roses, dozens of candles, gospel music and scores of family and friends praying for the couple and wishing them well."
