"Will You Marry Me?" "Have You Asked My Dad?"

Yep, that is right everyone, this was actually said. People always ask me how he "popped the question" and when we got engaged. Well I have 2 engagement dates. One is the one where we actually told people we were getting married and the other is when I saw my rings for the first time.

Let's talk about the latter of the 2. I knew that he was going to propose at some time in the near future, but I had no idea when. We decided to trade Christmas gifts with other on Christmas Eve rather than in the hustle and bustle of the next day with family. Currently, I don't even remember what I got him, since it sucked compared to what he gave me! So anyways, I opened my box and saw the rings and was like "SERIOUSLY!?!" and he replied with, "Do you still want to marry me?" and I said, "Did you ask my dad yet?"
Yeah I know, way to ruin the moment.. But I was serious. I am a daddy's girl and if my dad did not approve then I would probably not marry a guy. Well he hadn't yet, but planned to at my family's Christmas get together in the near future and didn't want to hold my ring hostage. My ring was too big anyways so we just took the opportunity to get it sized so I wouldn't be tempted to wear it.

So onto him asking my dad... Like I said, I am a daddy's girl. And he is big on my making a future for myself and all that. So here is what went down when they had their convo:

Boy: I want to ask your daughter to marry me.

Dad: I will kill you

Now my dad is intimidating. And I really think that he was serious about this. He made my boy SWEAR that I would graduate college first and we would not have kids until after I was done with school and we were married.

So after this we waited a couple weeks and then we sent out engagement announcements and we were "officially" engaged. Yay for happy endings. But I mean hey, I wouldn't be doing this blog if my dad had killed him...

Oh and here is an oh so pretty pictures of my ring and the matching band!
