Jim and I have been living together for about 4 years or so - dating about 5
We spoke about getting engaged but we weren't in a rush (we were happy the way things were) So we went on a cruise last summer (August) with another couple. On the cruise they kept talking about buying diamonds on the islands. so anyway Jim went scuba diving in Grand Caymon - Jen and I went shopping and of course as soon as we went into the shops they started showing us E. Rings, well I fell in love with a ring - so we were meeting up with the guys at 12:00 and I didn't know how I was going to tell him - but it came out quick - he wasn't that keen on the idea he wanted it to be a surprise (and so did I) he didn't have his card on him so I had to buy my own ring... I said let's just buy it and get engaged when ever we decide... Well on the last day everyone had gotten off the boat we were the last two and he asked me (We had no idea that we were getting engaged on that cruise) or married 10 months later... But here I am on this web-site as JuneBride... We were so happy living together I hope marriage doesn't ruin it. I know that sounds silly but... Anyway I can't wait to read everyone else's stories.
I grew up in Cherry Hill, NJ, right over the bridge from Philly. What a coincidence!
Hi Wendy;
I'm so glad to finally read another proposal that was spontaneous and not the fairy tale romance. I was beginning to feel like I was the only one who's fiance didn't go to great lengths! (see A casual proposal... above). None the less, it was still special in it's own way - just like yours.
My best friend is from Cherry Hill! Went to Cherry Hill East i think. How did you end up on Long Island?
