He Proposed in Mexico: Posted: May 10, 2010 1:15 PM; So, I just came back from an 8 day vacation in Mexico. It was perfect and romantic. The second day we were there we did a wonderful boat tour. When we came back to our condo, DF called me out to the balcony. He got down on one knee and was very shaky and stuttering. Then he said, "It would make me the happiest man in the world if you would marry me" I was so happy I jumped up and down and said "Yes, Yes, Of course Yes" along with a bunch of kisses. Then we spent the rest of the week just enjoying each other and relaxing and it truly was an amazing time. Right before we came back, he decided that he wanted to wear a wedding ring throughout our engagement, just like mine. My ring is the engagement and wedding ring combined. So, when we came back, we went to the jewelery store and I got him this really nice Tungsten Carbide/ Carbon Fiber wedding band, we'll be able to pick it up in 2 weeks. We're getting married next May 28th in the Colorado Mountains. Well, that's a little about my lovely day...

I feel like a kid. Pinch me. This kind of love certainly can't be real. Oh wait, it is :)

It made me smile to see that he wanted to wear an engagement ring as well, because I found out (a bit too late) that in my DH's country it's custom for both man and woman to have engagement rings! Unfortunately I didn't find this out until our engagement party in the Netherlands where everyone was wondering where his ring was. lol I'd never even heard of that custom until that day!

I think it's a great custom though and I love that your FH wants to wear an engagement ring! :)
