So, I have nothing really exciting to blog about. Therefore, for times like this, I will be using "prompts" given me by my mom several years ago. (Not that they'll be all that exciting, but I'll get points for "family history," right?)
Today's prompt (drumroll please) is: "How did you become engaged?"
Paul and I were "engaged" a couple of weeks before telling anyone...that is, we knew we were going to get married, we just didn't have a ring. The official engagement was: we went to the jewelry store and picked out a ring. I didn't want diamonds, but Paul seemed like he wanted me to have diamonds, so we settled on a small anniversary band-type ring, with a plain platinum actual wedding ring to go with it on our wedding day. Then we drove up to a bench, and he asked me to marry him. I said yes. We probably kissed, but I don't exactly remember.
Then we went home and called/told parents. I'm sure they were shocked.

this is totally funny. i love how you're just like...he asked. we told our parents. bye.
man i miss you.
I had never really heard how the proposal happened, so I always thought it was some big secret.....now I know.
love the: "Paul seemed like he wanted me to have diamonds..." and so a little compromise ensued. What a marvelous beginning to a great marriage, eh? Nice story!
Just another step in the right direction. It doesn't need to fancy & flamboyant. Simplicity is good. It is you.
Hey Britney, what a great idea to use prompts. I might steal it to use on my blog. You're family is so beautiful and I especially loved reading about your childhood. You're parents are sure amazing. Apparently their efforts paid off! ;)
