When was the marriage proposal?

Sept 13, 2004

How long had you been dating previously?

2 years

How did your fiancé/fiancée pop the question?

We went on a cruise to Belize, Cozumel and Cancun. He proposed after dinner on the first night it was evening attire so we were all dressed up. He took me to one of the lounge areas where you could see the sea and got down on one knee. It was very romantic.

Did your fiancé/fiancée already have an engagement ring? What did it look like?

Yes. He asked me to pick out the ring so I would have what I wanted. It is a 1 carat round brilliant, hearts and arrows, set in a platinum royal crown d'vatche band. Sparkles like crazy.

Any special details or other thoughts you'd like to share?

I am madly in love with this man and can't wait to marry him. Our wedding is planned for the late spring, early summer of 2006.
