Me: 30
He: 32

Me: Psychotherapist
He: Detective with NYC Police Dept.
Met: I was a bartender while an undergrad student. He walked in on my first night. Here we are...MANY years later.
Engaged: Sept. 24, 2004. He took me out for my birthday (it was a couple of days earlier) to 'our' restaurant. After dinner, we drove to the Brooklyn Heights Promenade (overlooking the Manhattan skyline). I remember thinking that it would be a perfect place to get engaged (little did I know). A few moments later, he dropped to his knee. It wasn't until after the proposal that I realized we'd drawn a crowd behind us who applauded after I accepted.
Ring: Brilliant diamond set in white gold with 4 princess cut & 6 baguettes on the side (it's my avatar)
Dress and veil: Maggie Sottero for my gown. I haven't ordered a veil yet.

Me: Christine

Met: We met through similar friends
Proposal: a trail of hershey kisses into the bathroom. In the shower was yellow rose petals with a sign that read 'I kissed the ground you walked on and showered you with roses.' I then heard music from the living room (I Believe in You and Me) and when I walked in he was on his knee holding a huge scrapbook sign (I love scrapbooking) that read 'I love you will you marry me?' He has a son who was also holding a sign that read 'I love you will you be my mom?' It was the happiest day of my life

Re: Meet and Greet-EVERYONE come on in!
I finally found this thread :) woo!
Me: Melissa (mel) 28
He: Sean - 33
Me: web designer and CFO for a construction company
He: pool salesman
Met: at a bar in 1997. He came to my rescue when an EX tried to take me out of the bar against my will. He's been there ever since!
Ring: princess cut solitaire in white gold
Proposal: December 31, 2003 - He tried to wait until midnight to do it, but he got as far as 430pm. hehe. It was amazing!
Wedding: May 20, 2005 @ The Beach Club Estate in Ronkonkoma
Honeymoon: no idea yet!
Dress: not sure about that either. I have a dress I got from David's Bridal a year ago, and now I'm having some major second thoughts about it, and I can't fit into it either, which is an entirely different stressful situation.

Re: Meet and Greet-EVERYONE come on in!
Me: Elyssa, 25
He: Matt, 26
Me: 3rd year law student
He: Electrical Engineer/ Technical Sales
Met: I was out celebrating college graduation with my best friends from high school, and he was out with some of his best friends from high school. (at Napper Tandy's in Smithtown)
Ring: Love it! simple round solitare set in platinum.
Wedding Band: 3 rows of pave diamonds, domed, set in platinum
Proposal: Matt took me for a wonderfully romantic weekend in Boston for my 24th birthday. The night he proposed he got a limo to take us from our bed and breakfast to a wine tasting with an orchestra at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, to the Oak Room for dinner (an AMAZING and beautiful restaurant), and then we took the limo back to our gorgeous room, where there was a bottle of champagne on ice and the fire was lit. The first time he asked me to marry him he got very nervous, got on one knee, told me he loved me, and asked me. I obviously said yes. Then he got all excited, made me sit down, and spent the next 20 minutes telling me everything he had planned on telling me in his proposal, and then he proposed again.
