I had been teasing Terry about my engagement ring. Telling him that even though we already set the date, started telling family and friends about the wedding, etc. That he still had to be romantic when he gave me my ring. I didn't think he was really going to put much thought into it. But he did. All day Monday he had this wooden black box with him, I knew what it was- because he told me. He kept it everywhere with us, I constantly had to stare at this box. And it was eating away at me. I wanted it, and didn't know what sort of little game he was playing. He was toying with me, like a cat with a mouse. And I do not enjoy being the mouse! lol =-)

 

Well finally, during the wee hours of the morning, it happened. We were sitting on my bed watching the t.v. He was sitting on the edge, and I was sitting between his legs with my back resting against his chest. He'd been holding my hands for a while. He reached down and took my promise ring off of my left ring finger and slid it onto my right. Then he opened the box, and slipped the engagement ring onto my finger where it belonged. He gave me a beautiful little speech, which brought tears to my eyes and asked me if I would marry him. Of course I said yes! Then he gave me a kiss, and told me that he'd never been happier than he was at that moment in time. It was very sweet, and worth the wait... though I'm not sure about the days worth of torment. =-P

I've already uploaded a picture of the ring onto Gather, to see it click below. ^_^
