How I got engaged

~Keira~ · July 12, 2009

Congratulations to you both. I'm not sure whose version I like best. I think the last bit of Matt recollection sums up the many a women out there after they've answered yes!

"For the next few minutes, there was some feverish text-messaging by Katie. While we enjoyed the rest of our evening, Katie's phone continued to buzz away as all of her friends replied back."

Makes me smile!

we had been dating for quite some time, so my friends previously made me promise to let them know INSTANTLY if/when it happened.... Matt failed to mention that he txted his dad and sister, too

So he was just as guilty. :-) We dated for 5 years before he proposed and he made me wait to tell my mum until we saw her the next day (Christmas morning). That was. torture.

But I bet it was better in person so you could see her reaction.. I kind of wish I waited to tell my mom and sister but I simply couldn't.. my dad already knew because matt had secretly gone to lunch with him to ask for his permission.. (that was unexpected)

What a classy gentleman. Steve got out of the asking permission thing because I actually only met my dad for the first time this year! If you ask me Steve had a pretty good set up for the whole proposal thing. lol.
