Engaged!

30 November 2009

Owen & I celebrated our ten year anniversary last Friday (we've been together since we were sixteen!) and he completely surprised me with a proposal!



Since it was our anniversary we exchanged gifts (a pocket watch for him, a pair of diamond earrings for me), then Owen said he'd also bought me another present. I thought it would just be something little, and was stunned when he handed me an engagement ring!

We hadn't really talked about getting engaged, and I was sure that I would've known if Owen had been planning anything. But he managed to keep everything a secret, and I absolutely love the ring he chose!

We haven't set a date yet, but are thinking about this time next year so we can keep the same anniversary.

Exciting!
