In December 2008, while decorating our Christmas tree, my (now) husband wanted to start this tradition of getting Christmas ornaments to represent what happened throughout the year. He started off with 2 cat ornaments to represent our 2 cats we got the first year we were together and a dog ornament to represent the dog we have. There was one more for 2008.... However before I put this next ornament on the tree, I was upset because a month prior we had to put one of the cats down.
The last ornament I put on the tree was a clear ornament that you could fill with whatever you wanted to make your own. My husband had put a small Christmas tree with fake snow in it AND on top of the tree was a ring for the star.
I put it on the tree (not noticing the ring!) and sat down, completely over putting ornaments on the tree at that point.
My husband asked me to get up to look at the tree with him, and after about 5-10 mins of standing there.... I finally noticed the ring!! I stupid replied "I thought you wanted to buy a new car".. (which he had talked about all year)
Lets just say I ruined his plan and was completely surprised, but at least I said YES! And now we have this wonderful story to tell!!

{ Getting Engaged 101 }
- Don't ruin the surprise! If you have an idea he's going to propose, accidentally found the receipt in his jeans or your snooping around all the time for a ring..... He's worked hard to make his plan work, so be surprised or at least act surprised!!
- Let him pick your ring! He will so proud to have picked out a ring that you absolutely love! You can give suggestions but don't buy it together.
- Tell everyone! Your friends and family might have known he was going to propose but there's nothing like seeing everyone so happy for the both of you!
- Enjoy every moment! Bask in the glory of all the happiness surrounding you!
- Lastly don't panic! It's a lot of work to plan a wedding but we are here to help you every step of the way!!
