What is you and your FH's ...

engagement story?

lets talk details...did you know about the ring...where you surprised...did he ask your parents...etc...

A while ago (like 1.5-2 years) FH said I want to take you somewhere special...can you be at my house by 5...so i said sure...he took my to a jeweler to try on rings...we learnt ALOT about diamonds and got to try on a TON of stuff....
I felll in love with two types of rings...the type with the sapphires on the side...and the type where there is a halo of diamonds around the main diamond...

we had been talking marriage for a while and when we went to coxumel this past summer we talked about it quite seriously....( i almost thought he was proposing here lol)

So in August, im in disney with my family and when I come back FMIL slips about there being a 'ring'....im like ...wiat i thought we were exchanging gifts for the anni (we celebrate every 6 months)? So i see FH and im like babe...really? we werent supposed to be exchanging gifts?!
He turned soooooooo red (he can not lie to me), I just knew....

Then he asked me like 5x times if i would be able to take off Jan 26th (the night we met, we always go back to TGIF on this night) then i knew...thats when he was going to do it...so i had to tell him I knew bec I wanted it to be a surprise lol

So September comes around...FH comes to the house to ask the parents...and they say...not yet...the time is not right...shes tooo busy with school right now... (i find this out later of course)

we go to the xmas tree in the City...could of sworn it was happening again...it did not....

FH goes with all the men in the family to thier annual xmas dinner...him and my father talk...approval is given (again i do not know this)

NYE 2008 comes...we are at the Fox Hollow...having an amazing time...(lost of fishy stuff happens with the people at our table, but i already have gone on long enough)....so midnight comes and we are smooching away....next thing I know he is whisepering all amazing things in my ear and then he is on the kneee....i am crying and totally in shock....of course after some pictures and what not...I call my family..they ALL knew...

the ring...it so amazing...he did so good! he got it custom made...it has the sapphires on the side of it..and he even put diamonds on the side bec he knew i liked them in those halo rings...

Later that morning...hes like wanting to lounge around and im wanting to get home...so i finally get him to leave the hotel...lol...and SURPRISE eveyone is at our hous e(including his parents) whom have never met my family..and we had an engagement celebration...him and my mom had the entire thing planned for those last few weeks...


<3<3<3<3<3<3

I decided not to go to school that day since I wasn't feeling well. At around 11AM, Chris asked me if I felt good enough to go to the store. So we went to the store. Strangely enough, I threw on sweat pants & a tee shirt & no jewelry (for the first time in 8 years). So off to the store we went. When we got back home I unpacked the groceries & joined Chris sitting on the couch. He said, “I have a surprise for you.” I said, “Why?” knowing our anniversary was 3 days away. So he told me to go look on my desk. I didn’t even notice it. Then I picked it up, put it on, and couldn’t believe it. Took it off for him to put on & then I said yes.


I was suppose to find the e-ring in place of my everyday ring when i woke up that morning for school. poor FH was so nervous that he stayed up all night.

did i know about it?? NO
was i suprised?? SHOCKED
did he ask my parents?? no.. but he told my brothers

'noooo he's only 22.. he's not ready for that yett.. we're babiesss!!!!'

now i should have know something was up the day we left, but i was oblivious.. he got on a completely different line than me when we landed in the airport & had to go through customs (since he had the ring in his bag) & i'm there waving him down like what are you doing i'm standing on a completely empty line?!?! why are you going over there?? (still oblivious) then the next give away SHOULD have been when we go to our room.. he .. for the first time in his life.. unpacked his own luggage.. i was like wowwwwwwwww.... really??? good for you!!! LOL (btw that was the first & last time he ever did that .. i always pack & unpack fro him) & looking back on all of that now i tell myself i should have known something was up!! lol

awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

I could seriously right a novel about our engagement story...I'll try to keep it short. (didnt work though)

First off - a while before we got engaged, I knew we were getting engaged - but FH was trying to save up enough money to get me the ring he thought I deserved (he went over the top w/ the ring - but I couldn't be any happier about it!). So...I had known it was coming, but thought he was going to wait til Christmas or my 30th B-Day in February, so I wasn't even expecting anything before that.

Here is some background info before I go into the story - my best friend and MOH (Laura) moved to CA 2 years ago - and I hadnt seen her since because we have both had so much going on in our lives. Also, on Thanksgiving Day, my family was spending the afternoon with his family at his house - we had done this the year before so it was a little tradition we were keeping.

This all happened in November. As I have said in previous posts - FH (David) works on ships for a living, so he is out to sea for a month at a time, then home for a month. So, in early November, I had noticed that FH was not calling me as much as he used to, and never picked up the phone if I were to call him. I thought there was seriously something wrong in our relationship - and I was pretty upset about it. So, I would try to call Laura to get some advice from her about the whole thing, and she would hardly talk to me and talk to me for only like a minute or two at a time (which was unusual). So, then I would try to talk to my parents, but they wouldnt talk to me either, and would suddenly always be busy when I was around or tried to call (which is weird because my Mom is retired, and my Dad works from home - and they are never that busy!). So, I was in a huge funk because I felt as though no one wanted to talk to me.

So, FH comes home from his hitch at work two days before Thanksgiving. He was actually all cutesy and lovey dovey and like the cat that swallowed the canary when I picked him up (which was weird because I thought he was ignoring me). Whatever - I didn't really think anything of it. So, the next day, Thanksgiving Eve, his sister and I were determined to get him out of the house to go out in Huntington. So, we go out, and he wasn't drinking (which was odd). Well, to make a long story a tiny bit shorter about that night, we ended up getting in to a huge fight about I don't even know what. I know his sister and he staged a fight, but then I got involved because I thought he was being an a$$ toward his sister. Which then turned in to a real fight. Oops. So he then says to me in the car - lets just go home and go to bed and forget about this. At this point I weas so exasperated so I said fine. So, the next morning, Thanksgiving Day, he wakes up all excited, goes out to the store to buy me my favorite breakfast, drops it off, kisses me, and says he has to run home to help his mom for Thanksgiving dinner and he can't wait to see me later. By this point I am thinking w t f as he can't cook - like at all. So I just chalk it up to him being weird.

Now, fast forward to 2pm - when we are supposed to be at his house. My Mom is stalling to leave (strange - because my Mom is ALWAYS on time), again...weird. So we get to his house like a half hour late, and his sister is writing up a shopping list for stuff to get from Rite Aid. She says to me, 'Oh, David (FH), has to go out to Rite Aid right now and I am giving him a list of stuff to get'. I was thinking to myself - you need this stuff (shampoo and stuff like that) now?! On Thanksgiving? Then Dave says to me, 'I also have to pick up some hors doeuvres (sp?) for today from Guidos (our fav restaurant), so I am going to stop at Rite Aid first to pick up the stuff for my sister'. I am thinking : Ummm....ok. The guests are already at your house and you are picking up the food NOW? So Dave asks me to come with him, and I say no (because I didnt want to leave my parents alone), and his Mom jumps up and says 'No! He needs help carrying the food!'. And my Mom gives me 'the look' which I thought meant don't go. Ok fine, so I end up going with him. Dave goes to get in to his car (a tiny sportscar), and I look at him and say 'Honey, if we have to get platters of food - why don't we take the truck?', he says, 'No, it'll fit'. OK...now I think everyone is weird. So we get to Rite Aid, and he is stalling getting the stuff for his sister. I loose him in the store as I am running around to pick up the stuff (because I didnt want to be late to get back to his parents house). By now I am pissed. So...I FINALLY get him out of the store and we get to Guidos, and he says, 'wait in the car'. Ok, fine. The son of the owner of the reaturant was standing outside and talking to me as Dave ran inside for a few minutes. The son then leaves because he wanted to check on David. So I am sitting there wondering what is taking him so friggin long because we get back to his house. The son comes back outside and says 'Dave need your help carrying the stuff to the car, can you come in for a sec?'. By now I am like 'W t f...seriously?!'. So I huff and puff and get in to the restaurant, and I first I see rose petals all on the floor, my parents, his parents and his sister standing in the corner, and more flowers all over the places with a chair set up in front of the fireplace- and I knew then. I was crying hysterically.

So, after I say yes, FH picks up my cell phone and calls someone, and I was like 'Who ARE you calling?' Well, he called Laura, so...I get on the phone, and she asked me what was going on and if everything was ok, and I responded for the first time 'I am engaged....?' (Yeah, I said it with a question because it was the first time I had said that!). She responded 'Really?!?', but I heard it in stereo sound almost. I look up, and Laura is standing in front of me! Dave had flown her out for the whole thing... I was so SUPER shocked, surprised and happy!!

So...it turns out the whole reason why EVERYONE was ignoring me, was because everyone knew about this and they didn't want to spill the beans to me so they decided not to talk to me! And, it turns out that ALL of our friends knew. I was the only one left in the dark. So yeah...was completely shocked and surprised.

Sorry for the long story!!!!

we had gone once to look at rings together, and we talked about it a lot, so i knew it was in the near future. a few months later he asked my dad (i didn't know at the time)

a month after that, he insisted that we take a day trip to martha's vineyard. i was annoyed, because our friends were going the day before, and i wanted to go with them, but he insisted we go alone. i got suspicious!

the day of, it was supposed to rain (who wants to go to martha's vineyard in the rain?!) but yet he insisted we go... so i was even more suspicious (it turned out to be a gorgeous sunny day, by the way)

we get on the island and he suddenly decides he wants to rent a car and drive to the beach (20+ miles away)

we get to the beach, just walking.. it was kind of windy and chilly... i'm standing looking at the water, he's behind me with his arms around the front of me... suddenly he taps me, and i turn around, and he was on his knee! i screamed!

it was perfect

On Labor Day his sister asked me to meet her at the mall (kind of odd of her) when I got there, she said we were there to pick out engagement rings.

I narrowed it down to 3, for her to bring FH back to pick out which one he like best. I wanted to be surprised by which one he would pick.

A couple of weeks later, FH spills that he has the ring and keeps teasing me about having it, this is around the time of his b-day. Then its Oct and time for my b-day and he kept asking me what I wanted and I kept telling him, he already had what I wanted and he just had to give it to me .

The day after my b-day (21st) we had a little bit of a fight, because FH asked if I was coming to his on Halloween-something I never do-because I always go out with my sister. He got mad, which I thought was very weird.

So on the 30th, I was suppose to work my second job (halloween store) at night, but decided not to go. I called FH to let him know and that he could come over. He came over and handed me a pumpkin and lifted the lid off. Inside it was filled with orange and white M&M's that had printed on them Teri....Will you Marry Me??? and the ring box was buried inside

FH bought they ring by himself and did an amazing job!
My mom was having a big Holiday party @ our house and we invited all our friends and family. My BFFs hubby showed up dressed as Santa Claus to suprise all the kids and give them little presents. Everyone freaked out when came in and we all gathered in the living room to take pics of the kids on his lap.
My mom stood up and was like 'Santa, alot of little kids here want to sit on your lap, but I have a kid too, can she go first?'
I just looked at her like she was nuts and said ' WHO?', then she replied, 'you!'

So being that I'm 24 years old I was totally embaressed that she wanted me to sit on my BFFS husband lap infront of everyone, but I played along.
Everyone shouted 'What do you want for Christmas!' and I had a huge smile on my face ready to give the obvious answer, 'A diamond ring!'
Everyone laughed and FH popped out of the crowd saying, 'Well, in that case...'

He got down on one knee and proposed to me infront of all our friends and family. I couldn't stop crying. It was absolutly amazing!

PS - I'm smiling

FH and I have been together for over 9 years. The past two, I've kind of been bugging him about getting engaged. He always kept saying 'it's coming soon.' Whatever. We had gotten into several fights about it, because he kept saying he wasn't ready, and I was always like 'well what more do you need???? We've been together x years, we live together..........' I had drawn pictures of the ring I wanted, and he was getting the center stone from my mom (it's been passed down in the family), so all that was left was for him to get a setting and pop the question.

Anyhow, finally last June he told me it would happen within the next 6 months. So I had anticipated it would happen sometime before the end of the year. Then he lost his job right before Thanksgiving, and I knew it wasn't going to happen then.

So one Saturday night (Dec. 20 to be exact) we're sitting at home playing Rock Band. We actually were supposed to go out that night with some friends, but it was a snow storm so we cancelled. So we're playing Rock Band, we take a break, and FH says 'so when are we exchanging Christmas gifts?' I said 'you already got your gift' (I took him to go see Trans-Siberian Orchestra the week before). He says ok fine. So then I'm like, 'wait, that's not fair.....what about my gift????'

He tells me if I want it, it's under the tree. Uh ok. So I go look under the tree and there's a big heavy box with my name on it. I open it up and it's this gorgeous hand crafted Mickey & Pluto riding a Christmas Sleigh centerpiece. I fell in love with it.

So then of course, I'm like 'ok fine...I'll get you the rest of your gift.' I bought him a video game and hid it in a box in one of our closets. Well the problem was, the night before, one of my girlfriends stayed the night at our place, so FH cleared out all of the boxes we had in the spare bedroom so we could set up the aerobed for her. But he took the boxes and piled them all on top of the box that I had his gift in.

So I call him in the room and explain that his gift is all the way at the bottom and I can't lift all these boxes. He starts helping me move them, and as he puts one box down, there's a ring box on top of it. I turn around and the rest goes as such:

Me: What's that???
FH: I don't know.
Me: No really, what is it?
FH: Why don't you open it?
Me: (after opening it) Are you serious?
FH: No, give it back (and grabs it out of my hand).
FH goes to put the ring on my finger
Me: You're putting it on the wrong hand stupid
(I then give him my left hand, and am trying to push him down on one knee. He's not budging. So we start hugging and kissing.)
FH: You haven't answered me yet.
Me: You haven't asked me anything.
FH: So......you wanna????
Me: Yea, I wanna

We then hug and kiss some more, and I proceed to run downstairs to show my mom. Then I texted all of my friends with a pic of the ring, call my dad, he called his parents, and then our phone was ringing off the hook all night.

Our's is not so romantic...but defintely 'us'

I knew it was coming at some point....we had been together almost 10 years and like Lsorrent we had many discussions about what was taking so long!! (These poor boys...)

I knew that he had met with a diamond guy we knew in the city, but thought he was just getting more money together. When we got engaged I found out he had the ring for months and was rotating it between relative's houses b/c I was looking for it (I know...I'm bad)

OK...so onto the story...

He tried to talk to my parents several times, but they are never home (I didn't know about this). We had gone out for a nice dinner one night and he was going to ask me then, but he later told me since the food was awful, he didn't want me remembering that for my whole life.

So the night before Thanksgiving I came home after having a awful day at work (patient tried to commit suicide) and I was dreading driving to CT the next day. He was in the middle of making this huge feast for dinner. He is super slow when it comes to cooking and all I wanted to do was eat and go to sleep. So I kicked him out of the kitchen to make a quick dinner.

After dinner he asked if I wanted to put up the Xmas tree and I once again shot him down. All this time he was super fidgety and was starting to piss me off!! At this point he kinda gave up and put on his pj's (ok he basically stripped down to his underwear and undershirt)

So at 9 I decided to go to bed and I asked him to find a toothbrush in the linen closet for me b/c I was sleeping over in CT on Thanksgiving. So I get into my pj's and start brushing my teeth. So he tells me he can't find a toothbrush, so when I turned around to respond to him, he was on his knee with the ring.

So me in my underwear with a mouth full of toothbrush...him in his underwear with the ring on one knee. Tha's how we got engaged!!

Awww I love all these stories!!!

So I've told mine semi-recently but I'll tell it again

FH was due to visit me for the weekend to take me to a friend's wedding. The Sunday before he had BCC'd me on an email to someone about something completely different (Drama drama drama ) IN the email he talked about how they needed to get over their issues because he was going to propose that weekend and there was nothing they could do to stop them...I was like 'Oh, so you are doing it this weekend??' and he just goes 'Oh sh!t...dammit!!'

So that whole week he's trying to mess me up and feed stories into my head about whether or not he's gonna do it...all the while telling me how EVERYONE has seen my ring (which is driving me crazy coz he picked it himself and I wanted to know!)

Anyway Friday comes and that night he is flying in to LGA. I go to pick him up and I really expected him to get down on one knee right in the baggage claim area but he doesn't do it...although he was in a BIG rush to get his suitcase so I thought 'Oh he's got the ring in there!!' (He had it on him actually...he was just concerned for his suit!! )

So we go home, I knew he hadn't asked my parents yet and he had wanted to, but I also knew that there really wasn't gonna be an opportunity where I couldn't figure out that he was doing it. So the next morning I made him go ask them while I stayed upstairs watching Father of the Bride (how appropriate!!! ) He came back up and we just hung out for a while until we had to get ready for the wedding.

So that night comes around and we go to the wedding...it was honestly the worst wedding I've EVER been to..and the whole time he and I just keep going 'OUR wedding will be different, we'll do this different and that different' blah blah blah...it was cute.

So the whole way home we're just talking about what a bust the whole night was and I thought for sure he wouldn't do it that night because we had such a lousy night...we get home...I had locked us out so we had to go in through the garage and get the spare key...we get inside and he's standing in the kitchen with a goofy smile on his face. I'm b!tching about how my feet hurt and I'm tired so I'm gonna go upstairs...and he goes 'Could you come here for a min??' and I see the ring box in his hand so I know...he kisses me and gets down on one knee and says 'Ilana, will you marry me??' So I smile and nod my head yes and say 'No...' (family tradition hehe..my Mom made my Dad propose and then said no :P) so 3 seconds later I say 'Yes of course!!' and I'm crying and we're kissing and my parents walk in 30 seconds later and I yell 'You just missed it!!!' and we celebrated by eating creamsicles

Where to begin with my story. Well we've been together for almost 9 years and for the last 2 years his family has been driving us crazy about marriage. We knew we weren't ready financially, but we still spoke about it here and there. I did start to nag him a little about getting married but then I stopped because he was getting frustrated with the entire thing. So I was like, I'll just wait, he's not going anywhere and I'm definitely not. We love each other and we're meant to be.

During the holidays last year, he kept asking me if I'm looking forward to the holidays and I would always say, not really. Then he would always tell me well this will be a great Christmas for you. I started wondering, is this finally it, but I didn't get too excited. Then he starts talking to my brother more than usual and asking about when my dad would be home. So apparently, my brother knew a week before he proposed, bro told my mom and my mom told the entire family before the week was even over. Then I go out to dinner with my 2 best friends and FH seizes the opportunity to go speak to my parents about asking me to marry him. Turns out both my friends also knew and that's why they kept me out so late.

Then on Christmas eve we go out to dinner and I'm thinking okay, here it comes. But nothing during dinner so I gave up hope. Then we go back to his house and he has a bunch of cupcakes from Crumbs for dessert, he tells me to choose one and I'm like I'm stuffed from dinner. He looks all sad so I choose one, then he leaves the room with the cupcake and I'm thinking okay the ring is going to be placed on top of the cupcake. He comes back, no ring on the cupcake, so I start eating because I'm all sad and then I reach the center and there it is, all wrapped up. I finally got my ring. He gave this long speech and all I remember from the night was me shaking my head constantly saying yes and showering him with kisses.

Oh yeah, turns out my dad cried like a baby when FH asked for my hand in marriage.

So I told him, every Christmas Eve I want a Devil Dog cupcake from Crumbs Bakeshop.

FH and I had been together for almost 5 years. I had started to get antsy especially since my brother had just gotten married and he had only been with his wife for a little over a year.

We were going to Disney in December 2007. It was a big trip for us, although we go to Disney fairly often. We had lots planned for this trip and we always pick one night to get dressed up and go out for a 'nice' dinner. 2007 was a rough year, my grandmother died in November and in May my grandfather was diagnosed with cancer.
FH knew he wanted to propose in Disney so he was trying to plan something without me knowing. He kept trying to get a chance to ask my dad but he couldnt get in touch with him or it was never the right moment. It was getting close to the December trip and then my grandmother dies so we were at the wake and FINALLY FH had a chance to talk to my dad. So he got him outside and asked him, but my dad being who he is told him, that 'you didn't need to ask me' So we head down to disney on december 8, and our special dinner was december 11. I thought FH was acting a little strange but we always try to surprise each other on our trip with gift baskets and flowers.
We went to dinner at Artist Point on December 11 and we were waiting for desert when I see about 10 waiters and waitresses headed towards our table, so I was suspicious, they put a platter of flowers with a glass slipper in the middle and my ring sitting in the slipper. FH then got down on one knee and asked me to marry him and live happily ever after.
It was my dream come true, especially because I really wanted my grandfather at my wedding. Unfortuntely he passed away in January 2008, but I was happy that he atleast knew I was getting married.

i am such a mush! i love hearing proposal stories..ahaha

---

Me too. =)

FH asked my parents about 3 weeks before he popped the question. The fact that they even said yes still shocks me because I was 19. lol. My parents have known him since I met him when I was 15 though, and they always loved him and saw how great he treated me. We had talked about marriage but never very seriously. Just mentioning it here and there. He always said that he wouldn't propose until we were living together because he wouldn't want to propose to me and then say goodnight and go home by himself.

We moved into our 1st apartment about a week after I turned 20 this past November. We moved in on Black Friday and set up our apartment all weekend. We put all of our furniture together and arranged EVERYTHING. I had school Monday until 6:30pm so he would be getting home earlier than me and said he would cook dinner. I come home after the longest day ever and he had candles lit and a bottle of wine set up on our dining room table, and he had made hamburger helper. haha.

I'm a REALLY picky eater and if something looks gross, I won't touch it. So he tells me to sit down and he covers the bowl up with a plate and says that it looks gross and he doesn't want me to look at it because I won't eat it and blah blah blah. I keep saying 'Oh stop, I'll eat it no matter what' and I rip the plate off the bowl and there's the ring. I was literally SPEECHLESS. It didn't even register in my mind that it was an engagement ring. I just couldn't say anything. He got down on one knee and I started laughing and I kept pushing him away as he tried to grab my hand haha. I kept telling him to get away from me and he's lying and it was a joke, and he kept trying to grab my hand. I don't even remember the sweet things he said to me because I was so into thinking it was a joke because he's such a prankster! lol. Needless to say, I said yes even though I still thought it was a joke and then I called my parents and they knew he was proposing, and my dad gave me a little speech about how out of all the guys I dated, he's glad I'm marrying Dom.

FH and I have started talkin bout marriage seriously about 2 yrs into our relationship and bc we are so young everyone would always ask if i thought he was really the one for me...i would tell everyone yes i know he is and i thought i had everything figured out..i used to tell everyone that we would prob get engaged when we are together five yrs then get married after a yr then a yr after that start poppin out some babies lol

so FH took me out to dinner...we always do dinner on our month 'anniversary' and it was our 2 yr and 10 month... so he told me that he had this whole night planned out for us and i was thinkin to myself wowww i dnt have to think or do anything it was great!!

so i get in his car and he starts to play a cd and im like wow i cant believe all the good songs that are on here (we def dnt listen to the same music lol) and hes like i made it just for you...after he said that i honestly thought he did sumthin wrong bc we are def not mushy mushy ppl and when im in my car we listen to my music and when we are in his we listen to his lol our lil rules that we have..so that should have been hint one..then we sit down to eat and hes kissin me and tellin me he loves me so much...should have been hint two bc we dnt really kiss and hold each other and all that wonderful stuff in public (pda grosses me out A LOT!!) and all night long i had to keep askin whats wrong bc he looked sooo nervous... so after dinner he wouldnt tell me where we were going all he kept sayin was we gotta drop your food off at home bc i had left over so i took it..and he kept sayin i wanna change..so we pull up to my house and i get out and he gets out right after me and i look at him and he has no clothes in his hand to change into which should have been hint three (not realizing this until he mentioned it to me after lol) and he pulls me into his arm and keeps tellin me he loves me and he needs me in his life forever and he cant wait to have a fam with me...and im like yea yea i love you too lol..

so we are standin in my driveway and as hes huggin me he goes this is where i first asked you out... i turn to him and i go no its not and i walk over to my front stairs and i sit on the steps..and i go we were inside decorating my xmas tree and you came outside bc u were talkin to ur mom on the phone and b4 you walked out my sister asked why we werent dating yet..so i followed you outside and after you were off the phone you came up to me and i asked you why we werent dating and you asked me if i wanted to be your girlfriend...and he goes no you got it all wrong...i think i said (and he got down on one knee) will you marry me!

the first words out of my mouth were are you kidding me!! lol and i started to cry and i said yes of course i will and we went inside and my whole entire family was there waiting and had a bottle of champagne ready to celebrate!

i set it up perfect for him and i had not one clue about it..i was soo in shock i really thought it was a cruel joke that he was playin on me lol...afterwards he told me that he wasnt plannin on doin it til our three yr anniversary but he got the ring and he could not wait lol

He proposed when I was sleeping...he bugged me and I told him to leave me alone, then he came back and was bugging me again, so I told him to F off, but he said something along the lines of 'not until you open your eyes' I opened my eyes and there was a ring on my finger!!
