We became engaged in April 2009. Although it wasn't a total surprise because we had discussed marriage, the day of the proposal was still a surprise. Chris planned a picnic in Bellefonte at a nice park very near the restaurant where we had our first date. After the picnic, Chris said "I've got something I want to talk to you about." I immediately knew what he was going to say! He then gave me the ring. It was very moving and meaningful! The next few days were a rush of telling people and starting the wedding planning.
