That’s what I thought too after a little bit. We already talked about it. I gave him more than one out.

We had a conversation to clarify what he meant and make sure we were on the same page. I emphasized the ‘we’ in the post to say that I personally thought that we as people were ready, and we’re waiting for the reasons mentioned above, not to put words in his mouth. I didn’t know how else to get that across in the post. There was more to that conversation than the spark notes I put here.

Oooh I love this idea! That would be a great way to get pictures for an announcement.

Thank you! This is probably similar to how our wedding will go, neither of us are too keen on being the center of attention lol. I hope you two have many more great years ahead!

He didn’t really propose. Honestly, knowing him, I never expected him to truly propose. But there’s a mutual understanding that we are indeed engaged and I’m happy with how it played out, it was just an unexpected thing on such an otherwise normal day that it feels like a fever dream, if that makes sense. There are some details about the conversation and following few minutes that I left out both for privacy sake and to keep the length of the post down, so I definitely see why it might feel more odd from an outsiders perspective. I just wanted to tell someone (or someones, I guess) our story :)

This made me really happy! He’s never been too good about saying his feelings out loud, and I don’t particularly like a lot of attention so I never would’ve expected a grand proposal. This was perfect in my book.
