I've decided that it's time to finally start my own PJ!
I guess I should start at the beginning and tell you a little about us...I am 27 and work as a therapist in an outpatient substance abuse clinic. Keith is 37 and is a software engineer. We met about 4 years ago through mutual friends. I had been waiting (and waiting, and waiting, and waiting) for him to "pop the question" and it finally happened on September 30, 2010 while on vacation in Italy!
Apparently DF had the whole thing planned for MONTHS (AND told my best friend when he bought the ring--and she didn't spill the beans!!!). I had (not-so-secretly) hoped that he would propose while on this vacation. However, by the time we arrived in Venice seven days after the trip began, I was convinced it wasn't going to happen. We had already done so many romantic things--wine tastings in Tuscany, a romantic candle-lit dinner, ice cream by the Trevi Fountain! So when he got down on one knee while riding in a gondola, I was shocked! I couldn't believe that he had managed to keep that secret for such a long time!
Our first picture as an engaged couple!!
THE RING--not the best quality picture, I know!
