The Proposal
Sent me out for sugar and to return videos. It was New Year's eve, so the lines were incredible. He had some excuse to stay behind. Of course I was suspicious since he cleaned the condo while I was sleeping, but that small compared to the surprise I received when I got back. 500 long stemmed roses waited for me! Apparently the florist had to make a special trip to Toronto to obtain this large number of roses, and then he was on stand-by for a few days waiting for Denis' phone call. Good thing the florist's shop was across the street from our condo. I say it was all worth it. :)
The Ring
Denis designed the engagement ring himself, so naturally, it has moving parts. A ring within a ring; the inner ring swivels out to reveal a hidden engraved message. (He stopped short of adding flashing LEDs and a few other features at my request. )
