Wow, some great stories. AliciaMrsH yours is gorgeous!

DH and I had been together 4.5yrs when he proposed. He had already asked my Dad the day before which is tradition in my family and the pressure had been on him for a while but he wanted to do it in his own time. It was Valentines Day in 2004, cliche' I know but romantic in a cute kinda way. I was asleep in bed when he woke me with toast, a coffee and some flowers, he sat on the edge of the bed with it and pulled out the ring and said "I love you so much, will you marry me?" I was beside myself with happiness and the ring was so gorgeous and 'me'. It is an amethyst with a diamond either side so not conventional but unique. Definatly one of the best days of my life.
