I didn't mention this when I talked about our little camping trip, because I thought this deserved its own thread :)

Last night as we watched the sun setting over the lake where we were camping. I had a little surprise for Dan..

I pulled that out of the pocket of my shirt.. and being the hopeless romantic that I am.. I got down on one knee and asked him.. I never thought I would have the courage to do it.. but I did.. I was so nervous, I almost dropped it as I waited for his answer.. I will never forget anything about what happened there..

The gentle orange-red light from the sun cast the last of its warmth down upon the area as it fell behind the mountains, we were motionless there for a long moment, before finally, he took my hand in his and pulled me to my feet, both of us nearly crying as he reached into his pocket and pulled out an identical ring... We slipped the rings onto eachother's fingers.. neither able to bring ourselves to end the silence..

After it started to get colder, we moved back to our tent.. and once inside, he was the first to find his voice.. I won't go into what was said.. Mostly because I don't think any of you want to hear it... and.. it was kindof private :oops:

Nice anecdote. I never ever imagined I'd hear about a true real-life proposal between males, but now that you mentioned it, it, well, it has its own thing. I'm just surprised 'bout it I guess but I think it's kind of cute when you describe how you acted, congratulations!

Amazing

and he had an identical ring you say? on the same day to? what are the chances

Congratulations!

The funniest part is... both of them have been carrying those rings for a month... but neither had the courage to ask until last night :P

So.... you got engaged? That's good. Should I get you some of those his and his towels? Bad/old joke I know.

Congradulations! Have you planned the wedding/blessing/civil partnership/registry? I hope you have long and happy lives together. Lovely rings, by the way: very pretty.

Eek! The sweetness! Congratulations. I'm so happy for ya!

Really sweet story, I hope you have a happy live together. Congratulations to both of you!

Thanks for all of the kind messages guys ,,,=^.^=,,,


We are planning things out still.. but part of it we know.. since this state doesn't have laws supporting "civil unions" We are going to get one through my home state of California.. I'm still legally a resident there until the end of the year, so as long as we do it before then, we can get it done, and then it will be recognized anywhere in the US..

We are also planning a more.. spiritual cermony I guess you could call it... One of Kim's friends is going to perform it for us.. should be really nice.

*sigh* How romantic....
