Exciting News!!

Ok here it is…

I’m ENGAGED!!!!

I am SUPER excited!!! Finally after 7 years, Al and I are getting married!! Here’s how it went… He got to my house yesterday afternoon and had a beautiful bouquet of flowers! I thought that was very sweet and thoughtful. As I was examining this bouquet and about to go get a vase to put them in, I turn around and Al get’s down on one knee!! I was really shocked!! I knew it would be happening sometime soon but didn’t expect it right then! He gave his sweet speech, which included that I am the best thing that’s ever happened to him, and asked me to be his wife!! Of course I said YES!! I am so proud of myself for not crying! I did get a little teary eyed but no actual tears!! Then we had a nice romantic dinner at home and just spent time really talking about our future and the wedding! I can’t wait!! It’s so neat how this totally changes the aspect and feel of our relationship. It’s almost like it starts a whole new beginning! It’s such an amazing feeling and I feel so lucky!!

On to my ring! I absolutely love it! It’s perfect and EXACTLY what I wanted. I will post some pics below but due to my camera sucking the quality isn’t that wonderful. I’m hoping to take some pics with my mom’s camera sometime this week and I will post them!

It’s super sparkly which makes it hard to get a clear pic with my camera! Basically it’s a round cut diamond in the center with 22 smaller diamonds making up the band!! I am in LOVE with it!!

Here are some more pics from last night.

So happy!!

Pretty flowers he got me!

I also found out he had been to my parents house right before the proposal and talked to my mom and dad and asked their blessing! How sweet! They are really excited about it too! Especially my mom because she gets to help me plan!!

We are planning on getting married next June, since I have that month off from school, in Seaside Florida!! Yay for beach weddings!! Can’t wait to start planning!! Any tips from you married girl’s would be GREAT because I have no clue what I’m doing!! Ha! Hope ya’ll have a wonderful day! I can’t take the smile off my face!

    Congratulations! I loved planning my own wedding and wish I could do it all over again! :) Don't let the planning stress you out. You will have a perfect wedding, even if one or two things don't go the way you planned them to. Oh, and theknot.com was a really helpful website. They have a checklist of things to do each month or week to help you plan and stay organized.
