Is this for real?!!

So I have some very exciting news to share. This totally happened yesterday!
After almost 6 years of dating we are engaged! Ahh I'm so excited! If you want to know how he proposed, keep reading. :)
So it was freezing yesterday (by Florida standards), about 50 something degrees, and Dee had a brilliant idea to go sharks teeth hunting. Normally I would never  be up for that in this weather... but he had a friend that recently found a huge tooth on the beach, and we had some time to waste before meeting my Mom and Step-Dad for lunch. Who by the way was also in on it, my step dad told me their car wouldn't start and they were going to be late.

So we get down to the beach and I'm looking around and find a little one, continuing to look Dee was acting very suspicious. Not really looking very hard for sharks teeth. Then I turn around to him and he says something along the lines of look at this one, it's huge (with a sweet grin plastered across his face).

In his hand he had this massive sharks tooth with sand around it, and a little white ribbon peeking out. Attached to the ribbon was this beautiful rough diamond ring! He then dropped to his knee and asked me to marry him. "OF COURSE!!"

Next thing I see a photographer pop around a parked truck on the beach, it was his Dad who came down from Maryland to photograph everything for him. Then I look to the right at a random tent we passed walking down to the beach, and out popped Dana and Carlos (his brother) camera in hand!
I was so surprised, and can't believe I didn't see them or recognize the truck.

Dee did an amazing job, it definitely took some planning and help from a handful of our family member's to pull this off. :)

Needless to say, I am a happy girl and CANNOT stop smiling!



I love you Didier and I can't wait to be your Mrs.!
