My boyfriend and I got engaged this weekend. Cute, but we own a house together, and have been together for 12 yrs so not suprising.
But he is such a sweetie, and writes much better than I do. I just wanted to share what he wrote for us to send friends and family.
Greetings to the important people in our lives.
A monumental occasion has occurred. After 12 years of good times, great memories and mutual growth, Heather Nicole Wing has accepted a marriage proposal from her beloved, Anthony Robert Klokocka.
The anticipated event took place on the Evening of Saturday November 5, 2005.
During the course of a seemingly innocent gathering of friends, Tony implemented his diabolical plan.
1 month prior to the fateful night, much research was conducted to find the perfect engagement ring and to devise the perfect misdirection, keeping our unsuspecting Heather completely in the dark.
With the token of professed love in possession, and all attendees in on the plan, the misdirection was put into play on the aforementioned night.
Heather was invited out on a car ride with one of her close friends who happened to invest a large amount of money in vehicle performance upgrades, allowing for the prefect excuse to get the "to-be-engaged" victim out of the house for 10 minutes.
Once at a sufficient distance, all parties involved leapt into action, preparing the bedroom with romantic lighting, scented candles and the most extravagant flower arrangement possible, all stored at another close by house to avoid any chance sightings by the lovely Heather.
Prior to Heather's return, the house was in a hush as the ring was passed around, inspected and ogled. Forced conversation ensued upon Heathers return, the shared excitement crackling in the air. Heather was quickly whisked upstairs to her chambers, hand in hand with her man. Suspicion was immediately etched on her face. While curiously looking at the candles and the massive flower filled vase at her bedside, Tony seized the opportunity to drop to one knee and profess his undying and unconditional love for this remarkable woman. Although filled with nervous trepidation, he knew what the answer would be, and of course, it was YES!
Shy, overwhelmed and joyful Heather inquired about all of the guests in the living room, "Now we have to go and tell all of them..." She left the rest unsaid.
Tony replies, "They already know... Come, and I'll introduce them all to my new fiancée.
And so it came to pass...
I've always wanted a very tacky Vegas wedding. So that's what we're going to do. My worst nightmare would be to have your typical wedding.
Okay, so thanks for reading,
Heather
AAAAAAAAACKKKKKKKK! That's the cutest, most romantic thing I've ever read, and how clever and personal and original and sweet and geared JUST TO YOU, Heather. Wow. He's definitely a keeper.
Congratulations to you and your beloved.

DoodlebearsFANTASTIC news Heather! A huge big congratulations to both of you.
Hey has Tony ever thought of going into romantic writing for a job!
How romantic was that! Phew!
My husband never proposed to me at all. He doesn't know the meaning of being romantic. One day he said oh by the way were getting married on September 1st, can you sort out the rest, I booked the ceremony.
We're still together, many years have past, five kids later...oh well , that's my man... but I still love him!
