Congrats! That's awesome!!! Did you know you were getting engaged (e.g., know he had a ring, picked out a ring, etc.) or was it a complete shock? If it was me I think I would've fainted!
omg I just read it--that was AWESOME!! To answer my own question, you knew you were getting married, but not engaged All the best

FH planned a day out east for my birthday - vineyard hopping on the north fork. It was a beautiful day together, and finally it didn't rain! On our drive back home FH decided he was 'craving steamers' so off to Nicky's on the Bay we went. We arrived there to see my family, including my sister and niece from North Carolina to celebrate my birthday with us. In the middle of dinner, FH toasted to my birthday, and then asked my parents for my hand in marriage. With their whole hearted blessings, he got down on one knee and proposed. Of course, I said yes!
But I have to say the funniest thing... as we were all in happy excitement... my 6 year old nephew said... 'I thought they were already married!'
awwww, how romantic!!!--although i don't know what nicky's on the bay is--i hope it's not a hole in the wall--lol!!! But it would be romantic regardless. That's hilarious what you're nephew said

Re: How Did He Propose?
Ronald is a very private person so when I thought of how Ronald would propose, I never pictured him proposing in front of our family or a huge crowd. (Even though I would have loved that.) Ronald and I became engaged on January 6, 2009. That day Ronald kept telling me that he wanted to buy this really expensive bear for a young family member of his. I told him that I thought it would be much more sentimental if he waited till they were older and then buy it for them. (Of course he didn't want to listen.) Later that evening I went over to Ronalds house. (We had plans to go out that night). I was in his bedroom and he announced that he had went ahead and bought the toy anyway. I was fussing at Ronald while he was walking into the closet to let me see the bear. He pulled out the box the bear came in. I was opening the box (fussing the whole time) and pulled out this really cute bear. I pressed the button on the bear and was truly stumped and surprised! It was Ronald telling me how much he loved me and that he wanted me to marry him. My proposal was so special!!!

Re: How Did He Propose?
I had a TERRIBLE day at work and he wanted to go for a walk and I snapped at him and told him to take me home because all I wanted to do was eat So he said since I was so stressed he would run me a bath. He made me a bubble bath, put on candles and some music and let me soak for a few minutes. Then he came back in and I said 'you are the best boyfriend ever'. And he said 'can I be the best fiance ever?' and pulled out the ring. Apparently all I said for 5 minutes was 'Are you F-ing kidding me?'

He proposed to me in front of 200 people with a news reporter there!
you are a voice actor? What work do you do? So cool!
Thanks!
I don't want to hijack the thread, but to answer your question I do mostly commercial work. I've started getting into some animation work as well.
I voice all the kids in the Jewish Cartoon series 'What If?' Chabad.org and also am the voice of Jimi in The Adventures of Shanmoa & Jimi.
Now your user name makes total sense!!! SO cool... I haven't seen those shows but I want to watch!!! Very fun.
PS Proposal:
I have told this story before but love talking about it so I will share again!
We had dinner plans to go to a restaurant I really wanted to go to, it was near CHristmas and I was all excited. He kept telling me he didn't want to go to this place, he was basically being really annoying and I was getting so mad. He kept insisting that we go to Tellers (first date) for dinner. I didn't want to go! I had no idea what he was up to.
We had dinner and the whole time he was acting so weird. I thought maybe he was stressed about something. After dinner he took my hand (so not like him), and started talking about 'us', about how we have been together 5 years, we have had our ups and downs and he really loves me, and then he pulled out the ring!
I was so in shock and the first thing I said was 'are you serious?' It took a REALLY long time for it to sink in! I told him I didn't know what to say! haa his response was 'well you could say yes' haha. AWWW i love itttt!

Re: How Did He Propose?
I was in a musical this summer in Brooklyn that was running for a 3 day weekend, and I asked all my friends and family to come see it (I'm originally from PA). I was hoping they'd all come Saturday because it would make the trip easier for them and the cast would be more warmed up so the show would be better. But no, EVERYONE decides they're going to come opening night on Friday. So I had suggested we all get together and do something afterward and FH and his mom decided we should just have big party.
So the guest list for this party just keeps growing and growing, and all the while I'm thinking, 'Why is everyone coming opening night on a Friday?? The show isn't going to be as good!' And I'm really nervous, so I didn't even think about FH having alterior motives...
He was acting soooo nervous when we left for the show, and I thought it was just because he was running the spotlight which he had never done before. Little did I know!
When we get to the party, I walk in with my parents and EVERYONE is there, family, friends, etc. and they're ALL STARING AND ME. And his dad had the video camera out and it suddenly hit me! This is it! haha
So FH walks over with his guitar and played & sang 'I Wanna Grow Old With You' from the wedding singer, and then gets down on one knee to pop the question.
And it's all on video! haha

FUNNY STORY..... This is my first christmas away from home.....and ive always had a real christmas tree. The night of December 5th it was POURING and he said lets get the christmas tree. I shouldve known somehting was up then. Well neway, we left it in his parents basement to dry for the night and at literally liek 8 am on the next morning (sunday) he woke me up and said lets put the tree up. I was like what its 8am lets sleep for antoher hour. So he brings the tree up and was acting weird. He gave me a big hug and told me how much he loved me. Now the whole time his hand was in his pants (which actually wasn't that weird bc he has his hands in his pants all the time, haha) Then he started fidgeting in his pants, i was like what the hell is he doing?? He gives me another big hug and says lets put the first ornament on the tree.... he pulls out the engagement ring and it was hanging from an ornament hook. All i could say was 'are you serious'???? bc hes a big joker. he was now down on one knee and i kept saying....'are you serious?'' And he tore his acl a month prior to that so it was difficult for him to go down on one knee and said 'can u just give me an answer, IM SERIOUS.....this kinda hurts.' So i finally said yes and started crying and of course his mom was listening at the door and came in.
The reason why he was figeting in his pants was bc the hook got stuck and he couldn't get it out, so literally for 5 minutes his hand was figeitng in his pants, it was funny.
the ironic thing is that my parents got engaged in front of thier christmas tree too and my fh didn't even know that
AHH!!!! That's SO romantic!!!!!!!!!!!! I love how the same thing happened with your parents too!! YAY!!!

Re: How Did He Propose?
I never had a formal proposal. At the time we started planning we were together for 8 years and have a son together. We just figured lets plan it and pay for it. I just figured the ring would come when he could afford it. this past feb, the day of the big snow storm, since we were all home together which never happens we decided to go to the mall. He said lets go look at rings at zales. So I figured...not again. I was really tired of looking but i went anyway. I found a ring that i liked and keep going back to but him buying it was the farthest thing from my mind. just as i was getting ready to walk out he told the sales women....we'll take it. I almost fell out of the chair. i couldnt stop smiling......not really a proposal but still a moment

Re: How Did He Propose?
WHILE ON A VACATION IN LAS VEGAS CELEBRATING OUR 5 YEAR ANNIVERSARY ,DANIEL MADE RESERVATIONS FOR A ROMANTIC DINNER AT THE EIFFEL TOWER RESTAURANT. WHEN WE ARRIVED THERE THE MAITRE'D EXPLAINED TO US THAT OUR TABLE WAS NOT AVAILABLE YET, BUT WE COULD GO TO THE TOP OF THE TOWER AND BY THE TIME WE RETURNED THE TABLE SHOULD BE OPEN. AFTER CLOSING MY EYES THE ENTIRE TIME UP TO THE TOP OF THE TOWER, WE FINALLY ARRIVED 460 FEET ABOVE THE LAS VEGAS STRIP. DANNY THEN ENCOURAGED ME TO TAKE SOME PICTURES OF MY FAVORITE HOTEL. HE CALLED MY NAME AND WHEN I TURNED AROUND , HE WAS ON ONE KNEE AND EVERYONE ON THE OBSERVATION DECK WAS SPEECHLESS. EVERYONE WHO WAS GATHERED AROUND US WAITED FOR ME TO SAY YES AND WHEN I DID THE DECK WAS FILLED WITH APPLAUSE. IT WAS OUT OF THIS WORLD AMAZING. AFTER THE OBSERVATION DECK, WHEN WE RETURNED TO THE RESTAURANT, ALL THE STAFF ASKED TO SEE MY RING AND CONGRATULATED ME, AS THEY ALL WERE IN ON THE SURPRISE THE ENTIRE TIME.. WE WERE THEN BROUGHT TO THE BEST SEAT IN THE HOUSE, OVERLOOKING THE BELLAGIO FOUNTAINS. WHEN WE SAT DOWN THERE WERE A DOZEN ROSES ON THE TABLE AND A PERSONALIZED MENU WITH THE WORDS 'IN HONOR OF REN AND DANIELS ENGAGEMENT.' THE NIGHT WAS UNFORGETTABLE.

Re: How Did He Propose?
We were in Atlantic City for 4th of July weekend, this is nothing new for us because we have gone to AC a bunch of time for little getaways. We got there Friday night, went to dinner and went to bed early because we were planning to walk the board walk the next day. When we woke up Saturday we had breakfast in the room and I decided to tell FH the crazy dream I had the night before:
*I was at a family party and my grandparents were upset. I asked what was wrong and my grandmother told me that she was mad at my dad for not telling her I was getting engaged the next day. She said my dad knew because FH asked permission and she was upset because she didn''t have a gift for us. And then I was upset because it wasn't a surprise.*
I really didn't understand why FH didn't find this amusing because I thought it was so weird! Then he looked at me and said 'What if I told you I already spoke to your dad?' I laughed and said 'No you didn't! I would've known about it!' Then he got down on one knee!!!
