Huge congratulations to you. I just proposed to my "one-and-only" in May. I also told her the date I wanted to get married within 20 minutes of the proposal. That date happens to be September 26th, the anniversery of our falling in love. I'm getting married this coming Monday!!

Anyway, The proposal came off quite wonderfully. We were vacationing in South Beach, Miami and I planned to get her to the beach around midnight - but I couldn't make it obvious. So I waited for her to think of it - which took until about 11:30 PM. So I got the ring from it's secret hiding place (my electric razor case), we took a walk on the secluded beach and just as she was ready to go home, I slipped the ring on her finger and proposed.

It came as a total surprise to her and she cried. I designed the ring and put an engraving on the inside. Obviously, she said "Yes".

The funny thing, is that after that, I was so tired that we went home and I just went to sleep while she stayed up for the next 5 hours ogling the ring. For me, the first climactic moment has just finished, but for her, it had just begun.
