During his big work party last night, my guy went big! He went up on stage betweent he two bands and did the 'official proposal'!!! It was infront of his entire work, many from out of state and country, so at leat 200 hundred people! I was complete surprised and have been giddy about it all day...which is not me if you know me. It was great! I was so surprised and am still reliving it in my mind! Love my guy!!!! Now May 12th, needs to hurry up and get here!

Congrats,

I was nervous enough doing it just in front of her, so kudos to doing it in front of a crowd of people.

Best Wishes,

Wolf

Wow! fun proposal story, thank you for sharing it with us. May 12th is coming up really soon.

I so can’t wait to get married as well. Has everything been going well with your wedding plans? Starting to get a teeny bit nervous now that its only 4 months away. (Mine is on May 19th).

Keep enjoying the bliss!

Congratulations!

May 12th isn't that far away...

We're planning on doing our wedding August 2008. I'm already starting to plan it...we're going 'cheap' but good.

The girls of my family (all 7 of us!) are planning on doing most of the decor and desserts...it'll be a total family affair!

Good luck with all of the planning and budgeting for the wedding!

Thanks everyone! We are already well into the planning stage, but so far no big stress. I have been trying to keep myself from getting too excited, but alas, after what he did I don't think it's possible! Best of all his company was filimg the party! So I have it all on tape! Or at least I will once he gets it from work!

Well on to the fun of trying actually get some work done at work today as I spent yesterday in a giddy 'no work got done' state of mind.....good thing my boss is understanding.

A google of inexpensive wedding items can be found here. Sort by price (pull down menu on the right).

The most memorable moments are the unplanned.
