Yes.
Last night, the cutest boy in the world took me to the karaoke bar where we met, sang me a David Bowie song [Absolute Beginners], and asked me to marry him.
I said yes.
I am a happy schmoo.
yayayayayay.
I love you, Jacob.

Well holy hell. Have you ever had this many comments before?! I had to scroll down soooo far to get here.
I am so behind on my blogs...can't believe I missed this one!
Congrats congrats congrats!
I clicked on the flicker account from your last post to see camping pics and mistakenly saw a a picture of a ring and blew the surprise for myself. Oops.

Um, I meant to comment on THIS post! In addition to hormones I am loopy. I'm SO happy for you both. So sweet! So cute! So FABULOUS! Yay!
Posted by Giao | May 5, 2006 1:40 PM
Congrats! So exciting!
You know - my creative hippie mind was thinking that the photo that one of you took on your camping trip (of the 2 trees intertwined) would make a FAB icon and theme for your whole wedding! You could take that photo into Photoshop and manipulate it to get a nice graphic image that would be so cool for invitations, napkins...I know - may be too naturey for some - but hey - you WERE out camping! Anyway - congrats again - wish you many happy years together!
