things my fiancé did to give me the perfect proposal
💍
took me "ring shopping" three weeks before the proposal to make me think he didn't have a ring yet (news flash he did)
planted the idea that maybe we'd get engaged on our Xmas trip this year (6 months away)
I was very indecisive w what kind of ring I wanted so he went with his gut and got me the perfect one. And the center stone is his moms
took the train out to CT just to ask my parents for their blessing bc he never knew when he'd get them alone without me
His dad came into town for "business" and took us to dinner but it was actually to hand off the ring
gave my family the exact time (west coast time) he'd be doing it so they could wait up for a ft (east coast time)
had his mom come up with the idea to do a themed dinner each night so that I'd be in white
the most epic, beautiful, unreal engagement I could've ever imagined
