AW, thank you! I was a little hesitant to post it here because I don't consider myself a regular (darn work, blocking everything lol) and didn't want to seem like an AW.
BF (FI?!) proposed yesterday. I am having a major surgery next Tuesday that will cause me to be on crutches and non-weight bearing for 8 weeks, so he planned a date night at the Melting Pot. I didn't know until after dinner that his boss is good friends with the owner, so he set everything up so there was no phone/text/email trail. We ate dinner and dessert came- the waitress put the plate as far away from us as she could on the table, which I thought was weird, and then the manager came over with another plate, put it on the table and practically ran away. It had the ring in the middle of the plate decorated with chocolate, strawberries & raspberries. I was shocked- I had no idea that he had even been ring shopping or anything. He did a good job keeping everything a secret- both families and some friends knew he was doing it over the weekend but weren't in on any of the plans.
The ring is beautiful! He did a good job without having any input from me. I've never pip'd before, so I'll see if I can get it to work...
