The Proposal
With the stress of work and the start of the winter blues, Carmelo and I decided to take a trip for a long weekend to Cancun. With our friends Cathy and Joe we set off for some fun in the sun. We arrived on Thursday and immediately hit the beach. Spending all day in the sand and ocean we decided we would go out for dinner and drinks to Margaritaville. We all went back to our rooms to get ready. We met Cathy and Joe downstairs at the bar and before we got a taxi Carmelo asked if I wanted to go and take a picture down by the ocean. Of course I said yes, I'm a picture freak. But before I could say Cheese, Carmelo was down on one knee saying, it was long over due but would I spend the rest of my life with him. I immediately started screaming "are you kidding me?!?" "are you serious?!?" followed by "YES! YES! YES!" I then called my mother who when she heard me crying, asked "what's the matter?" She thought I might be locked up in a Mexican prison...but when I told her she started screaming too (My father kept it a surprise, Carmelo had asked his permission a month prior). So after more phone calls to friends and family, we went to Margaritaville to celebrate over some...well...Tequila...we were in Mexico after all. The best part, Cathy and Joe got it all on video and took pictures.
The Ring
LOVE...LOVE...LOVE my engagement ring, but what girl doesn't?!?!
He picked it out all by himself and apparently even had it hidden in his Home Desk drawer for 5 months!
It's a Harry Winston cushion cut center stone with an 80 brillant round diamond pave setting. Better then I could have imagined.
