Brent proposed during a vacation to St Lucia, where we attended the wedding of 2 of my dearest friends from college on 12.30.05.
It was New Years Day and we went to dinner with the newlyweds, then took a walk alone around the resort. It was a clear, starry night, with a wonderful breeze and a sax player setting the mood. We were lounging on one of those big chaise lounges, and Brent started to get very fidgety. He is normally very relaxed and very-laid back, unless he is nervous. I kept asking him if he was ok, and he wouldn't stop squirming. We started talking about the 2.5 years we had been together and how much fun we were having together. He was squirming so much at this point that I almost yelled at him to stop! He then got up out of the lounger, went down on one knee, pulled my ring out of his pocket, and popped the question! I didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so I did both and said YES!!
That crazy fool brought that ring with him to St Lucia and had it hidden the entire time! I didn't even know he had bought a ring! We had talked about marriage and looked at rings, but never seriously enough that I thought he would propose any day! He picked out a 1-carat princess cut diamond ring in platinum, and it is exactly what I've always wanted So I called all my family when we got back to NC, and they already knew! Apparently Brent had bought the ring before Thanksgiving, and showed it to everyone when they came to our house for the holiday! It was a very special and very magical moment :)
