Proposing?

[Sean]

Asked her Monday night. I bought the ring 3 weeks ago, but had to wait ages to get it.

Got it in the mail on Saturday, had to wait until she went home Sunday night to inspect it, didn't find any problems with it so I tossed it in my backpack, and Monday night I went to her place an hour before she got off work to talk with her mom.

Her mom gave me her blessing, so I did it. I was thinking of waiting, but meh... I really didn't want to, the ring was burning a hole in my pocket and the timing worked anyways. I stole her promise ring from her on Sunday night to compare the diamonds (when I first looked at the ring briefly the diamonds didn't seem as shiny, but it was just the light) and since I had already taken her promise ring (and forgot it) I figured I'd replace it rather than holding onto the ring.

We were sitting on the couch, and I had the ring behind me, she poked me and said "Hey! Where's my promise ring shithead!?" and I said "Oops..." and kissed her, pulled out the box, opened it, and said "How's this instead.... will you marry me?"

Her reply was "Shut the **** up" then "MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM"

"Can I get a reply?"

"YES!"

I poked her with the box, "Uh uh, you put it on!" "Fiiine, gimmie your finger" slipped it on "MOOOOOOOOM!"

Then proceeded the facebooking/texting/giddyness for the evening.

Her dad's not happy that I didn't ask for his blessing, but her parents are going through a divorce and her dad's been less than friendly as of late, so I avoided him (when we talked about it a few weeks ago, she said I didn't have to talk to her father considering the circumstances)

The funny part was, when I told her mom I wanted to ask her, she had the same reply of "Shut up"

The more I thought about wanting to do something special, the more I realized that's not really me, and I wanted it to be something comfortable.
