Well first I will start with when I surprised him with his promise ring. I gave him a card and made sure he was busy reading it. At the very bottom it said for him to turn the card around.. and on the back I had writing "Look up". When he did I had his ring on my thumb. He was very surprised =)

Now onto the engagement story. We had talked about marriage and I had even showed him what types of rings I liked online. I knew he had the ring so I knew the proposal was close but I didn't know exactly when. One day he had me come over to see him after I got off of work and before he went in. Nothing out of the ordinary there. We went back to his room and sat on the bed and he handed me our love book. The love book is something I started that had letters and lyrics that we would write to each other passing it back and forth. He had written a letter for me which was very sweet and at the bottom it said for me to turn the page.. and there was the words again of "Look up" and when I did there he was with the ring and he asked me to be his wife.

I was stunned and happy and crying. It was a beautiful moment for us :)

OMG, :sappy: That is beautiful!! I was blown away by the idea of the love book but his proposal was even sweeter, more special! I think you picked a good one, Amanda. :yesyes:

Thanks! It's silly because I pulled that on him first and when he did it to me I was oblivious. I didn't expect it :)

The love book has been forgotten since the proposal lol But we do have a few great pages of letters that we'll treasure when we're older :)

Pretty much. It's so weird how alike we are. I never thought i'd find someone who really got me. It's awesome :)

Very true. I actually did use it today. I wrote in it one of the verses I came across in a thread on this board. It was sort of like his "card" in a page in our book. I loved it and wanted to share it with him for his birthday.
