I'm just wondering where you got engaged? Was it romantic? Did you cry? Were you suprised?
I was SHOCKED when the love of my life Carlos proposed. We had been going out for a few years but I never thought he would pop the question so soon. He even asked my Dad if he was OK with it!
I'm in the beginning stages of my planning and need all the help I can get. I've been browsing through so many sites, chat boards, and vendors. I'm so excited!
TIA! Love ya! -Sandy.

Re: Where did you get engaged?
Well, I had been selling oranges on the side of the street in Sunnyside California. My now fi was selling grapefruits across the street. He stole one of my customers, so I started throwing oranges at him. He threw one back, broke my glasses, and a passerby yelled at him to apologize. Turns out, he offered to take me to a fruit bar for dinner. Low and behold, one year later, he proposed on the very same street where our fruit fight occurred.
I wasn't too surprised or anything.
Edited to say: I did cry, but only because I had to sacrifice my Giorgio Armani glasses to find the love of my life.
Edited again to say: I hope you all know I was joking

Re: Where did you get engaged?
while sittin at home on the couch, FH gave me this Kinder chocolate egg. It turns out, he had taken it apart and re-assembled it with the illustration, toy robot (he LOVES robots), and my ring inside....
At the Essex House hotel. At first I didnt believe him and when I realized he was serious and put the ring on my finger I thought I would never stop crying!

We went to Greece last September and I had NO clue- He asked me In Santorini on our hotel balcony watching the sunset. It was awesome!

Re: Where did you get engaged?
At the bough (?) of our cruise ship (Royal Caribbean Adventure of the Seas) while at sea going to St. Thomas, staring at the stars. It was very romantic...but funny because it was SO dark, I couldn't even see the ring!!! I told him that it proves how much I love him because I accepted his proposal without even seeing the ring. I accepted, he put it on my finger and I said, 'can we get to a light so I can see what it looks like?' The whole thing was too funny to cry.

We got engaged outside of Il Cielo restaurant in Beverly Hills. He got down on one knee in front of a limo that was waiting for us outside the restaurant. I felt like a princess

He proposed in central park. It was very romantic - he had 2 dozen roses and sang 'Bed of Roses' to me before getting down on one knee. I actually didn't cry, but I almost hyperventilated!!!

That's awesome.. We got engaged in Italy while out to dinner with my family. I was totally shocked. The funny things is that we planned this trip in advance.. Italy and then Greece. I thought FOR SURE we were going to get engaged in Santorini. I thought what a perfect place for a proposal. All along he knew I was thinking that.. so he propsed in Italy. It was great because I was TOTALLY shocked. He placed ring in my dish. We had stepped away for a walk and when I got back to my seat, there was a plate covering my bottom plate. I was sort of complaing to DH about how there is a steak under it and I did not want to eat it.. low and behold, it was my ring!!!
Santorini was amazing!!

Re: Where did you get engaged?
In our living room, next to the Christmas tree, my ring was hanging on it like an ornament.

Re: Where did you get engaged?
At sunset in Newport, Rhode Island overlooking the water. I never thought he would propose there because I couldn't believe he walked around with the ring for two days I didn't know it. He had it in his pocket the entire time.
