LOL My husband proposed to me in bed by asking it hypothetically. Then we went ring shopping a month before we were married (court house). Now I am in the process of planning our big wedding - which is in April.

David had been gone on an offshore job for a month, and we had made date plans almost the first week he had been gone. He wanted to take me to a restaurant where we'd had our first faux fight over. (On his birthday, I wanted to take him to Carrabba's in Oklahoma City, but the GPS took us to a closed place. Frustrated, we drove around until we settled on the Spaghetti Warehouse, which I don't like. We didn't have a fight, per se, but it was pretty tense.) So this far in advance notice date was a re-do in September once he got back.

We spent the day running around, going from place to place, just enjoying each other, but when we got to the restaurant, he acted so bizarre. We ordered SO MUCH food, but he barely touched any of it. Worse, he always holds my hands across the table, and he kept pulling away. I thought he was sick, because it just didn't make sense. We ended up having a huge to-go SACK, because we had leftover appetizers, dual entrees, desserts, and extra bread and olive oil/herbs. He always grabs a toothpick on the way out the door, and so he grabbed mints and "finishing wood," as he calls it, and we got in his car.

He kept just sitting there, then handed me a toothpick and some gum. Confused, I started chewing the gum, and asked him what was wrong. Then he starts in on telling me how much he loves me, and hands me a ring box. I open it, and he tells me he hopes I love him like he loves me,and it isn't the wrong time to do this... And I was like, "what?" He just sat there quietly, looking at me, and I said "Did you just ask me to marry you? Wait! Did you just ask me to marry you while I am holding a toothpick?!" He said, "We'll? What is your answer?" I said yes, of course, and put the toothpick down, and he put the ring on me (perfect fit!), and went on to have a lovely evening. Later that night, we realized it was the five month anniversary of our first date, which was serendipitous.

Our wedding date is May 18th, and we are doing it after crossing the finish line of a Warrior Dash race. So our colors are basically mud and mud. :-)

We have talked about getting engaged for a few months, but I wasn't expecting it until sometime this year 2013.

October 2012 we had planned a mini vacation to Savannah. I heard it was one of the most haunted cities in the United States, and thought it would be interesting to stay in a haunted bed and breakfast. I let my fiance do all of the planning. He found a beautiful B & B in the historic district.( http://www.kehoehouse.com/ ) He had made reservations for us at Elizabeth's on 37th. (looking back the signs were all there, but like I said it was discussed and it wasn't happening until sometime this year.) We finished our dinner and went out to the courtyard. He had some other patron take our picture, and we just sat outside and enjoyed the atmosphere. When we got back to the B&B, he grabbed my hand and lead me across the street from our B & B to Columbia Square. There is a beautiful fountain in the square and a few benches for privacy. Anyway, we sit down and he starts rambling (completely out of character for him) We have great talks and he is rarely at a loss for words. He starts out with something along the lines of " I am going to make you three promises......and he gets up off the bench and keeps talking, gets down on one knee... (I am completely flustered, shocked, I have no idea what those three promises were.... I just remeber him asking me to marry him. It was so romantic, and heartfelt.

We still haven't set a date, but we have decided on 2014. We both want to lose weight, and get healthy first.
