In a nutshell, it was beautiful and perfect.
It was Christmas morning, 2003, and we had just finished exchanging all of our gifts (no ring yet). We were at my house, having a quiet morning together. I offered to make breakfast, and while doing so, sneaky, sly Chris Martin snuck the ring into my living room and popped it under my couch.
We ate breakfast, and then decided to lounge on the couch for a while until we had to run around all day and visit family.
Then, Chris suddenly "realizes" he forgot something and presented me with "one more gift."
All together now: "AWWWWWW......"
So, of course I said yes, and we are just happy happy happy.
We have set our wedding date for a Saturday in September of 2004, and we are currently in the throwes of wedding planning passion. Don't worry, I won't torture you with pages here in Poetryville about all the wedding plans.
