While I’m a *big* believer in romantic guestures and all that, for Eees and I, it was very simple.
We were celebrating the anniversary of the day that we met (a day we still celebrate in addition to our wedding anniversary date). I brought over a bottle of champagne and we were going to have a small low-key celebration. Instead, I brought over the champagne and a ring*. We sat on the couch, I told her that I was so happy that she had come into my life, and that I couldn’t imagine life without her and that I was hoping she’d choose to spend the rest of it with me.
That was it.

* Actually, I didn’t have an engagement ring ready then — but I didn’t want to let the occasion pass. So, I bought a candy ring. Eeees is probably the only person I know who ate her engagement ring. 🙂 Yes, we got a real engagement ring later on.
