How He Proposed

Approximately 8:40 Sunday morning, October 26, 2008.

I'm lying in bed half-asleep when I hear Grant say "Look at me" in an oddly serious-type voice. So I turn to face him, and he says very seriously, "I love you." "I love you too," I reply somewhat sleepily.

Then, COMPLETELY out of left field, "I want to spend the rest of my life with you." He pulls out the ring. My eyes fix to adjust. "Are you kidding me?" I say out of complete shock. "Will you marry me?" He asks. "Yes of course I'll marry you!" And the rest is history.

Truth be told, I knew the ring was coming, I just didn't know exactly when or what it would look like. But it's perfect. .9 Ct cushion cut with 32 diamonds on the setting surrounding the main diamond and down the band. I will try to get a picture uploaded, but it's kind of difficult to photograph.

The proposal was really special to me because the first time he told me he loved me we were just lying in bed talking one night.

I guess fairytales aren't limited to storybooks.
