Didn't know where to put this really - but wanted to share this with you chicks since my FMIL just email the electronic copy to me!!!

I wrote (I think in my journal and maybe somewhere else?) how he proposed.. So I'll do a brief summary:

I was going to be gone for work for ~6 weeks. I got to come home for one weekend, and he told me we would go out somewhere, but didn't tell me when, where or what we were doing. I dressed cute, semi nice. He first took me to the shooting range (love skeet shooting - just not in a skirt - still had a good time.) Afterwards, he took me to Callaway Gardens - a beautiful little place in Georgia with a Vegetable and Flower Garden.
We went to rest at a gazebo, and he pulled out the brochures, told me to see what kind of special events were going on..

I hope yall can read that!! It wouldn't let me make it any bigger on Photobucket, and my Free Version on my comp has ran out of its free-ness. Whoops..

I didn't even notice at first what it said - his mom had scanned the page, he wrote the note, and they printed it and put it into an actual brochure. I just happened to look at the guy doing the back flip and saw the bottom two lines... And then I balled like a baby.

you can see the view from where he proposed, the sweat stain where he was sitting before he proposed, and the front view of the gazebo :)


AAAAND!!

A really really really blurry picture of my beautiful ring!!! His Great-Grandmother's three-stone engagement ring - I love the unique design.


And that's all.. Just wanted to share it since these pics are relatively new

He's very quirky (in a cute, country boy way - he's not much for words , :p)and if he ever writes anything it comes out extremely.. unique.. and this is so him, writing style, but so very rare for him to be so romantic... It made it the most surprising and wonderful day of my life!

I love that story, it's so sweet!

And I love the engagement ring, too, it is very unique, and I can't say I've seen one quite like it

Thank you :)

I haven't seen one like it either - which is probably why I can't find a band to go with it :P

I love this story. It's realllyyy romantic.

I wish Rick could write words like that...the few times Rick wrote poems to me, they came out like a little kid wrote it, but I still thought it was cute and romantic cause he tried. I probably can't even write like that. :ooh:

Ooh, yeah, that's true about getting a band with it

It may or may not be in your budget, but I bet someone could make a really cool custom band that would mold to that shape. It would make for a very unique wedding band, too lol

My FMIL has offered to buy the bands for us, so I wouldn't feel right doing anything unnecessarily expensive - although thats good to keep in mind for the future, maybe I can get it on like my tenth anniversary?? I'd love to have something like that one day..
