I was so completely and utterly shocked I felt like I was under water and my hearing was funny. And yes, the ring was definitely a major distraction. Like a kid fixated on something shiny. I think the adrenaline rush made me want to throw up a little too~!

i couldn’t speak at all. i think it was at least 5 minutes before i said anything. i kept looking at him and the ring and hugging him over and over. i think i told him i loved him before i managed to say the word “yes” (it’s all a little blurry). he figured out what i meant, though.

i knew it was coming, but not sure exactly when. when he started speaking to me all weird - about how much he loved me, etc. - i knew it was time. i have to admit, i faked an “omg!” and then threw myself at him and screamed “yes, yes, yes!” =P

since my proposal was several hours long (with the scavenger hunt), by the time the homemade slideshow ended, i was bawling like a baby. i didnt hear a word he said while he proposed…all i saw was the ring, his expectant face, and said yes! from what he tells me, i said yes pretty quickly. but i think that’s because i had half a day to absorb what was happening.

i still bawled like a baby though.

I cried … in the restaurant …

The first words out of my mouth were “You gotta be kidding?!?” I was not in the mood to be proposed to - we just finished hiking down to a waterfall, I was sweaty, etc., and I wasn’t impressed with the waterfall (sorta dinky). I finally came around to the idea that he was proposing. I asked to see the ring, and he said that he didn’t bring it since we were on vacation and he didn’t want to lose it. Then, I said - it’s not a real proposal, I want another one when I get the ring. I also forgot to say yes until he prompted me. Anyway, he proposed again with the ring in Central Park.

i was surprised, said “what are you doing?” a couple times and then started walking backwards. FI was on both knees with the ring and had to crawl towards me. said yes after a few seconds.

you’re right though, the girl has to wait a few seconds to get over the shock of the proposal. for me, i thought 1) hey, isn’t that the ring i tried on that the jeweler said she was making for another customer *me*? and 2) how the hell did he find time to get the ring.

def no crying though. no way.

I leapt off my chair onto my fiance (who was on one knee) and screamed and cried the whole time that I didnt even hear the whole proposal
