How long did you date before you got engaged?
A little over 3 years
Did you get the ring you wanted?
Pretty much. There were 5 I really liked and mine was one of them
Was the proposal a complete surprise?
Nope. I knew it was coming. We have been talking about marriage since the VERY beginning of our relationship
Do you wish you had a bigger/smaller diamond? If so How big or small?
My ring is perfect. If anything, I didn't want the diamond too big because my finger is so small (size 4! omg.)
Did you cry when he proposed?
No I didn't
Was the proposal romantic or creative? Explain how if you'd like.
It was thoughtful and romantic. Tommy took me out to dinner to my favorite Thai restaurant with a few of our closest friends. Then after we ate we all headed to the "secret location" which was up a mountain. Once we got there we stopped in an area that over looked the city. He knew I loved the lights at night. He even had 3 places in mind to pop the question just in case one fell through, which the first did. All with the same type of view. Then he got down on one knee and asked.
When do you want to go for your honeymoon?
Like a month or so after the wedding so we can get settled in out new place and not be so rushed. Plus we want to spend time with family and friends, mainly those from out of town, and want to send out our thank you's.

Down and wavy with either one flower by my ear, or a few scattered

A little less than 2 years

Waiting
Take a long time to plan the wedding or will it be simple?
It's taking long because I procrastinate, and because things don't always work out the way we plan. But we want it fairly simple.
Will you do it yourself or with family or hire someone to plan the wedding?
I'm doing it mostly by myself with the help of friends and family
Will you write your own vows or use something pre-made?
We're going with pre-made/traditional but will have personal ones in our wedding program for those who want to read them
A little over 3 years
