Guys, how were you feeling at this point? I've got a lot of mixed emotions (uncluding some that I really didn't expect). How'd everyone else feel?

Well to be truthful... i did it the smart way.

I knew i wanted to propose, but i was actually going to wait for another 6 months or so. But then one night i couldn't be bothered waiting, and got sick of calling her my 'girlfriend' rather than my fiancee.

So i thought i would sleep on it. When i woke up the next morning (which happened to be our 2 year anniversary) i asked my mum if i could borrow a little money, and we went to the shops found the perfect ring - got it reduced over $600 (i kind of knew the shop assistant), and i proposed that night.

I was so glad, seriously it was hard enough waiting that one day for my fiancee to finish work.

Hey Kati. I'm kinda surprised you guys didn't know I was here. I've been here for almost 3 years and figured out who all of you guys were pretty early on. Maybe I should have said hey?

Anyways, so yesterday I almost proposed. This is going to be a lot harder than I thought. I'm trying to convince her that I don't have any money because i'm 'saving for the ring' so that she wont see this coming at all. (She had previously been thinking that I was going to propose REALLY SOON...which I am, but don't want her to know!) Well, she got all sad yesterday and now she thinks we wont be able to afford marraige! She said if I can't even afford a ring how can we afford marraige. How much I wanted to pop out the ring and be like "Everything's ok! See?" BUT I CAN'T. This is going to be a freakin hard few weeks...
