The Proposal!


We moved in together into his very tiny apartment in January 2008 and talked about getting engaged soon after that.  I started stalking ring designers websites.  I also started browsing rings on TK, where I finally did find my ring.

In May, we went on a Caribbean cruise and JB ended up buying my center stone at Diamonds International in St. Thomas.  He liked the store mostly because he didn't pay any taxes or duties!  They were very helpful and didn't give him the hard sell.

I found a store in Boston that wasn't a chain that sold the designer I was interested in and JB ordered my ring in July...  It came in September and I'm pretty sure he proposed either the day of or the day after he got the diamond set! 

So the date he proposed was September 12, 2008... We went out to eat at Croma on Newbury Street and then took the long way home...  We found our way over to the Christian Science Center....  There's a little garden in the front that's sort of hidden from the street and that where he popped the question!  I said "Yes!" and then we went home and called our parents.
