Smile HOLY CRAP

I got engaged last night...

Here is how i did it. We went to dinner at grill 23 in boston and I had prearranged to have a private room so I didn't have to get on one knee in front of the whole restaurant. I also aranged with the GM to have a bottle of Dom Perigon brought out when we sat down and a silver platter with the ring on it sourounded by orcids with a silver cover. It went perfect, she cried and said yes and we had the most wonderful dinner. Despite my slight hang over this morning I couldn't be happier and she is still glowing.

Congratulations! Nice job on the planning, preparation & execution.

You certainly have set the bar high for the rest of your anniversaries and other important events, not to mention any of your other single friends, or rather the guys that go out with your fiancé's girlfriends
