I got engaged on Christmas Day 8 years ago. Although everyone was asking if it would happen, I said no. I love diamonds and we had discussed cuts....but we had been doing that for 3 years...I honestly had given up.
We live in the mountains in Colorado. My BF asked me to go for a little hike on our property. When he said to leave the dogs, I thought it was weird, but I still wasn't willing to let myself think that a proposal was coming...it had snowed...so I just though he was worried they might slip.
We call the rock out cropping that he proposed on "proposal point". It was a great christmas!
3-stone flanders cut ring that was re-set into a custom setting later to save the surprise.
Congrats to anyone planning or hoping for a holiday engagement!!! My husband makes an ornament out of every christmas tree stump. The ornament for 2002 has an engagement ring on it...so we will always remember!
