Ray of Sunlight: good things happen, too
I am engaged to be married. :)
Brian made home-cooked lasagna for dinner, which I thought was good enough, but it got better. He rented some movies (lighthearted ones...I declare it will be a long time before I am going to be able to watch Shadowlands or Terms of Endearment), and we were having a couch-potato evening, necessitated by my having twisted funny while reaching for some rolls of toilet paper and being somewhat laid up by a back spasm.
He paused the movie and got up, ostensibly to clear the dishes, and came back and got down in front of the sofa I was sprawled upon. "We might as well do this right," he said, producing a ring box.
I can't accurately describe the sequence of events, but they involved him officially asking if I would marry him, me saying yes, trying the ring on, moving it to my pinky, an explanation that the place he got it didn't have half-sizes for some reason (we are somewhat financially constrained), some goofy smiling and hugs and kisses, and a request to bring me the ring he gave me for my birthday so I can wear that on my left hand while we figure out how to handle the sizing issue.
I'm a fiancée.
