For those of you who do not know yet, Hank and I are engaged!
Hank proposed to me on Friday, October 13th 2006 on the pier in White Rock.
This is how it happened...
Hank and I had been talking about getting married for a couple of weeks and decided to look for a ring. After looking at a lot of places here at home we decided to wait to finalize the ring that i wanted until after we got back from Monroe, WA during the Thankgiving long weekend so we could look at the outlet malls and bellis fair.
While at the outlet mall we found the ring! Hank and Adam went to go purchase the ring but came back telling me that he could not purchase it. I was quite upset because i knew it was the one. After leaving we went to Bellis fair and looked for at a few more store. There was one there that i really liked as well but it still wasn't "the one".
So we came back home and had talked about going back down on the next Saturday and hopefully it would still be there.
Come Friday of the next week I talked to him on the phone in the early afternoon as he had a shorter day and he told me he had a suprise for me. ( I don't really like suprises) I got to his place after work and he handed me the new Evenessence CD (which I absolutly love by the way) I was like "Sweet!" Then he said that he had another suprise for me and said I would have to wait. He then mentioned to me that we were going to be having dinner in White Rock with our best friends Cat & Adam and their baby Willow. I was set back by this because I had also talked to Cat earlier that day and she said her parents were coming over for dinner... therfore even more confused by this day.
When we got to White Rock Cat and Adam were already there. We decided to go to Charlie Don't Surf for dinner. They have good food. Still not knowing anything Cat sent me to the washroom to change Willow. Turns out Cat and Adam had the ring for the last week. So after dinner we went for a walk down the pier. By this time i had forgotten about the "suprise". As we got to the end hank pulls out his phone and was going to text message "will you marry me" to my phone but his battery died. Therefore he called me over kneeled down and did it the old fashioned way. I was utterly shocked! I thought he didn't get the ring. I almost cried I was so happy.
I think my perma-grin is finally starting to fade a bit...(not a lot just a bit)
Here's a picture of the ring. The wedding band fits inside of the engagement ring. Just under the diamond.
