YOU HAVE TO HAVE A STORY.....that is a family mantra, which is cool, but it puts the pressure on for events such as a potential engagement. The answer wasn't in question - we had talked about it several times. The ring wasn't a secret - she had sent me an email of the ring (picture, size, features, etc.) and said "BUY THIS". After some planning here is how it went down.
We regularly get couple massages, so I made arrangements for one and coordinated with the massage therapists ahead of time. Lisa had heard and liked the idea of a 4 hands massage, so, with 15 minutes remaining, my massage therapist and I joined hers to give her a 6 hands massage.....her comment was "this is heaven"! I was working her arms and hands. When I got to the left hand, I oiled it up real well and pulled out the ring. That was the signal for the two therapists to disappear. I wasn't smooth enough to slide it on her finger undetected. When she felt it, she started to jump up and I foolishly had her stay laying face down (I know guys...what was I thinking?) Anyway, I had to crawl under her face pillow and propose flat on my back, looking up into her.....well, I couldn't see anything, but it would sound romantic if I were gazing into her gorgeous blue eyes. SHE SAID YES!!
