WE met in 2003 at work and we were basically "work friends" because we were both involved with other people. I have always thought Ron was a very nice guy with a great sense of humor. Last year he got my number from a friend and gave me a call. We talked on the phone for a few weeks and then I invited him to a friends birthday dinner. From then on we were inseparable.

PROPOSAL: August 22,2008, was a huge shock to me! When I saw the box I thought it was earrings or something and when I saw the ring and he got down on one knee I almost fell off the stool. I was on the phone with my friend at the time and all I could hear her saying was "What? He has a box?? What box??" I told her I would call her right back and she immediately called like 10 people. Seriously though she is really happy and she was the one who had the birthday dinner I invited him to. Everytime we go out with other friends and they want me to tell them about the proposal I give my version of the event and then she gives her version.

WEDDING: I could not for the life of me come up with a date and you know when you announce that you are engaged everyone wants to know when the big day will be. FI actually came up with the date. 8/22/2009 it falls on a Saturday so there you go!
