One year ago today, at 8:24pm Mr. Pineapple took me to Bow Bridge in Central Park and asked me to marry him. Everyone told me the engagement would fly by, I didn’t believe them. Until today, it’s been an entire year. Oh my goodness.
Mr. P and I spent the weekend moving to Clyde, PA. We have set up our first home in an old farm house on 100 acres. The puppy thinks it is wonderful and I am enjoying make our home uniquely ours. We have been very busy, but I wanted to do something nice and funny to celebrate this once ever milestone with Mr. P.
I really wanted to get Mr. P a pair of rose gold cuff links to match my ring. Unfortunately, with all the crazy last minute packing and job hunting, I lost track of time and didn’t order them. So instead, I decided to give him something stereotypically “wifey,” socks and t-shirts. (I also threw in a Play Station game so he has something to do until they figure out how to get HD cable and internet into the woods.) I found some copper wrapping paper and a card that quotes his favorite show, Lost, “all we really need to survive is one person who truly loves us.”
I am going to try to arrange some sort of dinner and hopefully propose to him at 8:24 tonight. Hopefully this poorly planned engage-aversary will still be sweet and touching.
Did you plan anything for your fiance on the anniversary of your engagement?

OMG, I loooooove your house! It´s huge!
sorry, not helpful…
Awww that is cute. My husband and your soon to be husband would get along. Playstation and Lost lovers!
Ditto! LOVE your house! When do you get a tour inside 
I also love your idea of proposing to him on your engage-aversary (which btw is exactly whay my friends and I call it).
Your house is amazing!!! Congrats!
Sorry, that probably doesn’t help!
oh that’s soo sweet! That’s a great idea!
I had been planning to “surprise” propose to my fiance immediately after he popped the question to me (I knew it was coming), but the wood ring I had planned to give him wasn’t ready yet - so I “proposed” to him a month later after he asked me. I didn’t realize how hard it is! Even when you know they’ll say yes (and even when you know you’re getting married!). I think it has something to do with that “perfect moment” mumbo jumbo.
AWESOME pad, btw!! That’s totally killer. That’s the kind of place you could even -host- a wedding at!
whoa- that’s a big ole house! also, tell me it’s a Desmond quote. Swoon.
that’s such a sweet idea..and yes, lost is the best, well…maybe grey’s anatomy
Wow, is that whole house yours?!? AMAZING.
I’m going to marry my fiance’ on our engage-aversary…although, about 5.5 hours later in the day.
I think it is so thoughtful and romantic!! LOVE your house!!
We are planning a party for our engagement-aversary. We are taking people to the spot where we got engaged.
That’s an adorable idea! Wow. My current first house could probably fit inside yours…twice.
Seriously!?!? That’s your house?!? I’m so jealous! Enjoy it and have fun on your engage-aversary.
Oh my gosh! My fiance propose in central park on 8.24.07! We are getting married this October 18th! I can’t believe how fast it’s flown by!!! I want to think of something special just haven’t thought of the perfect idea yet.
I love that house! We definitely celebrated our engage-aversary. The wedding was still nine months away at that point, so we needed a little celebration.
Aw, happy anniversary! And how awesome it must be to spend it in your new home, awww…
Ooops I don’t know why I worded it quite how I did, but we are just renting so it isn’t quite “ours.” We have been painting and cleaning and fixer-upping for the last month so it surely feel likes ours.
Instead of trying to figure out a slick way to get Mr. P to a restaurant without him catching on, I took his wrapped present out into the field on the farm. He spotted it and when we went to check out what it was ans he realized it was a gift I began to cry. Over socks. haha
@sammijo: you’re story is very much like ours, we too are getting married on the 18th!
@Miss Sweet Tea: Penny actually, so close. (well at least that is according to the internet, i really don’t know.)
It doesn’t matter that you’re renting, it’s your home, your first home… so it’s your’s! Congratulations… and what a fun way to celebrate the anniversary of your engagement. We were on our honeymoon when our’s came around.
