Get Engaged

“This part felt like slow motion and hyper-speed all at the same time. I saw his hand in his pocket and all of a sudden a ring box was in front of me and I can hardly recall what was said because I was in such a moment of disbelief and surreality that this was actually happening. It's so hard to describe what this moment felt like. It wasn't a surprise in the sense that it was completely unexpected (although despite my hunch, I still didn't know how or when it would happen), it was more of a shock that this was actually happening. I cried and hugged him and told him, 'yes, of course!' along with way too many 'oh my gosh's' as I stared at the ring and he told me all about it.”

“At that moment, I knew what was happening, and my immediate response was, “NO!” He proceeded to recite a beautiful speech, and I was so surprised I couldn’t control myself; I was crying, screaming, jumping, the works! At one point, Shane stopped talking because he was worried I was going to faint or fall into the river. After he put the ring on my hand and kissed me, he turned me around to show that there was a photographer there capturing the entire thing! I couldn’t believe that I had been so oblivious and had no idea what was happening around me!”

“I can’t stop looking at my ring and admiring it. This doesn’t mean I’m a self-obsessed, narcissistic person who only likes material things, but when you’re wearing a gorgeous diamond, it’s hard not to like it. And I’d actually be offended if I was James and my fiance wasn’t beaming every time she looked at her finger. The point of a ring is obviously the bond you’re sharing with your fiance and your promise to get married, but it’s also supposed to be pretty and make you feel good. And mine does.”
