I'm engaged!!!!

So, we went to Rising Park in Lancaster for a picnic on April 17. It was a gorgeous day. I decided to take my camera to get more pics of us (little did I know that Ryan prayed that I would bring it cause he knew I would want pictures that night). So, we ate, had fun, took some pics of us. It was a lot of fun.


Then we decided to trek
up the mountain. Ha ha Well, it is. So, we

were having fun doing that too. We found a semi secluded spot, but the view wasn't the greatest, so he wanted to walk to the other parts, but there were couples at every crevice. So, he said, let's go back to "our" spot where we were before.


So, we were watching the sun set. Looking at the gorgeous view.
Hugging each other. Then I realized that his right hand had disappeared from around me and I didn't think too much of it.

Then we were talking about how perfect the night was and he said, "Well, then, I guess there's only one more thing to do." That's when he held up the ring in front of me and in between us and I covered my mouth with my hand and was like, "Oh my God!' Yes, I said it more than once. Ha ha Then he asked me, "Will you be my Isha?" For those who don't know Isha means wife/woman in Hebrew. I said, "YES!!!!" Duh, of course I said yes. God finally gave me the man that He created just for me. :) So, thus was our evening.






The diamond is a black diamond which actually is older than a white diamond. It's from space....a meteor to be exact. It's stronger than a white diamond and it's so perfectly me. I'm sooooooooooooo excited!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Our wedding date is August 29th at 1:30pm at ERC. Everyone is invited to the wedding. Hope to see you there.


Also, for those who want to know, we are registered at: Target, Walmart, and amazon.com (which you have to look under Ryan's name for some reason), we will also be accepting gift cards to these locations and monetary gifts (we are going to be buying a house too, so we're not sure what all we need, so cash is appreciated).

Congrats Mary! I'm so happy for you! I love your ring and have never seen anything like it. So pretty and unique. I didn't even know they made a black diamond. I love the design on the band. His proposal was so sweet. Enjoy every minute of the wedding planning! I wish you two the best! =)
