We got engaged on April 13, 2009!
Derek and I went to Cozumel, Mexico for a much needed vacation. The first night we were there we took a walk along the beach after dinner. We walked out onto this rock formation and we were standing there holding each other,
listening to the ocean and enjoying the moonlight. Derek's heart started beating very fast and then he said "I hope this is a pretty enough place for you Mel". Then he got down on his knee and asked me to marry him. Since it was dark out and we
were on these rocks, I was too nervous to take the ring out of the box for fear I would drop it in the ocean. We walked to these hammocks close by where I put the ring on and we talked for hours. Then we went back to our resort's bar to celebrate with
a Mexican Flag shot (the most disgusting shot I think I've ever had!).
My ring:
We had never gone ring shopping before so I think he did such a great job all by himself. It is a 3-stone round diamond ring in platinum. It is super sparkly!
Both my diamonds: A bottle of Tequila shaped as a diamond & the diamond ring I got the night before!
