It's official, Valentine's day is no longer a hallmark holiday (or at least for me). With all the "i was gonna's" jay couldn't keep the box in his pocket any longer. We got all dressed up for a dinner night out for sushi. We sat down at the table, a solitary red rose lay across the top. Within minutes he was down on one knee asking " As high as the sky and as deep as the ocean, you're the only one I want to spend the rest of my life with, I love you, will you marry me?".....now all of you know i am TOTALLY not one to be without words.....it took a full minute of gasps and tears and a kiss before i finally spit out - YES!!
After that Jay could finally eat ( he later told me that he had major butterflies ) but now I was all a tittle! We called my parents who had of course flown back from Spain the minute jay asked my dad for permission (my mom's exact words - i hate keeping secrets from you! it was so hard to talk to you!).
Well needless to say I am a very very very happy recipient of a gorgeous wedding ring. And the kicker of it all - it's all diamonds (lots of them)!
After we both calmed down he told me that he had all these plans but because of work they got all screwed up. First he was going to propose to me in NYC on the 23rd (but now he's heading to the Ukraine). Then he wanted to propose on the beach (note February 14th is usually and was) FREEZING. Lastly he wanted to tie the ring to the rose and when i got up to go to the bathroom he would put it in front of me. Of course I'm all full of plant knowledge and say i don't want to shock the rose by moving it too much from cut containers! So he settled for getting on one knee in a sushi restaurant! Oh do i love sushi!!
