Ya i took pics. I had friends of mine come in while we were at a nice dinner and line the steps to our apartment with candles and rose petals, then there were rose petals leading into our living room where there was a big heart made out of candles with rose petals in the middle where i dropped to the knee and popped the question.

i've been with my GF somewhere around a year now, ( a little less ) and I think if things keep going well, in another year I could be engaged....

Five years!? I'll bet she's thinking it's about damned time!

Congratulations!

Me, I'm heading to the altar tomorrow! (I expect a big ol' reality check about 2AM tonight.)

Cause he was waiting for the right time. I waited since 96 and I just got engaged myself. Doesnt mean anything.

Wishing you the best. I'm glad you've known each other for a long while. It really improves your odds on the success of your marriage. :D

It does if you can't get a place together or anything until then.

*Meow* I do *Meow*

It's a good think you waited 5 years. Too many people settle in to something before they really know the other person and help bump the divorce rate past the 50% barrier
