Emily

We have been together for over 4.5 years. It will be almost 5.5 years when we get married. We met at an old job. He was working there and while I was waiting to be interviewed he saw me and pretty much told everyone else to keep their hands off! I, however, had a boyfriend at the time and was much younger than he thought I was so he was disappointed. But, my boyfriend and I broke up, he decided to give this 19 year old a chance (he was 23) and we started seeing each other. We moved in together in 2007 and are in the same place today. We got engaged this past Christmas (the day after). On Christmas day he gave me a beautiful pair of earring studs. They were wrapped in gold paper with a gold bow. So, the day after Christmas, we woke up, it was a normal morning, he got out of bed, went to his dresser and pulled out what I thought was the same box in gold paper with a gold bow. I was a little confused. But he unwrapped it and it was my ring! I couldn't have been more surprised. The rest of our story is yet to be written.
