I'm back from a wonderful, magical, romantic trip to Lake Tahoe and have some excellent news to report:Even though I was fairly certain this moment was coming soon as we had talked and talked about marriage and the future, it was still such an overwhelming feeling to have him ask me to marry him. I'm not usually into traditional gender roles so much but having him get down on one knee...aww gosh.
I called my parents right away (1:30 a.m. their time!) and they were very excited! Now friends of theirs are already chomping at the bit to hear wedding plans. Sigh. Can't we just enjoy this time for a while? Freeze this period so the actual hard part of wedding planning doesn't have to happen right-this-minute?
We have tentatively talked about getting hitched in July of 2010. Part of me wanted to just do it in Nevada where all you needed was $50 and photo i.d. but alas Boyfriend nixed that plan. I guess I have to think of a new name for him on the blog, yikes!
Stay tuned for more details of our trip!

congrats! excellent news all around, and i'm excited to hear more about how your engagement and, eventually, wedding plans and financial goals all work together (that's my current situation, so it'll be fun to see someone else navigating the same!) now, go break that lease :)
p.s. i go with the contributors on jezebel.com who coined the term "husband elect" for a fiance (such a weird word!) this year - i've been using it all the time, and then he can just be HE on the blog (which seems appropriate on its own)
Woo Hoo! You have to spill the details of your trip. Very happy for you! And agreed, need to beable to freeze the moment to enjoy. :)
Congratulations! Getting married is great, being married is great. Best of luck to you.

Congrats!!! The proposal sounds very sweet and romantic!
Congratulations, sounds like you had a good time. July 2010 will come faster than you know, trust me on this one. Wedding planning takes a year though, maybe add a countdown to the big day?
