Well, it's been in the works for some time, but I finally popped the question to Lauren last night...
She's going to marry me.
It's going to be a very long engagement, we're thinking, like, 18 months minimum. Bare minimum-- like, if we find a caterer tomorrow, and she finally picks out a church... But yes. It's all true.
Of course, the first thing her father did was promise to remove absolutely all financial support: health insurance, car insurance, school loans, rent... he goes, "I don't mean for this to sound like a bribe, but..." First hurdle, and it's still a long ways away.
For those Romantics with a capital R in the crowd, I will, on request, recount the story of the evening and how I asked, and what the ring looks like and everything.
