I am....

ENGAGED!!

Rillz proposed to me in Hawaii on Sunday February 13. He took me to watch the sunrise and have a picnic breakfast. I did NOT think he was going to propose. I knew he picked out a ring and thought it was still on layaway. We woke up and grabbed Zippy's breakfast. We went to this ridge called the blow hole. We hiked down to this private beach and had our picnic and watched the sun. After we ate I wanted to hike around and when I was admiring this cove area I turned around and Rillz was holding the ring. The only thing that came out of my mouth was "you're not supposed to have that." Really romantic huh. And Rillz said... "So....what?" And then he got down on one knee and asked me for real. And then I cried... Happy tears! Our wedding is going to be September 24 of this year in Oahu... and a reception in Idaho. Better get started.
This is my engagement/wedding ring.
After he proposed

I am wearing a very ghetto outfit but I didn't know I was getting engaged. And it was 6 a.m. when we left the house.

How romantic is your proposal story. I love it. I am so happy for you guys. You make the best couple ever. What a pretty ring too. Everything sounds so perfect. I think what you were wearing and what you said just make it that much cuter of a proposal. Love ya.
