I decided to propose to my honey on Friday night.  He was going to be home at about 8:30, so I cooked a special dinner, sprinkled rose petals on the table, bought him a mushy card and a red velvet cupcake from SugarBelle's in Glastonbury, Connecticut. They are the bakery that we will be using for our wedding cakes and he has been coveting their red velvet cupcake since we first visited the place.

He got home a little early, so I ordered him to march upstairs while I finished setting up.  I wrapped the ring in a post-it note that read "Will you marry me" and put it in the cupcake box.  He was so cute when he first saw the table, his face lit up and he couldn't get the smile off his face.  I love to make him smile. 

After dinner, I let him open his card first and then at the bottom it read "now you can open your surprise".  He saw the crumpled up post-it, opened it and was speechless. He asked "is this really an engagement ring?" "of course I said".  He put it on and YUCK, it was too big.  Anyway, I have already ordered a smaller size and will ship the other one back today.  But the ring being too big did NOT stop him from wearing it all weekend and during our e-pics on Saturday at the beach. AND I would catch him staring at his hand...It was soooo cute.  It reminded me of myself when he first gave me my engagement ring.  I couldn't stop looking at it!

This is by far for me one of the happiest times of my life (second to my son being born of course) and I love sharing it with you all.
