So...

Thank you. Some people just go into the store and buy a ring. I took a very long time to learn about what I was purchasing. Aside from being an expensive purchase, it’s a symbol.

She was extremely surprised. She keeps staring at it so I assume I did OK.

We been dating for nearly 9 years and lived together a while but I never proposed. It wasn’t good time as she was in undergrad, then went to law school, and then started her career.

I proposed just outside the Princess Castle in a corner sitting area (away from people) near Adventure Land Saturday Morning. I booked a dolphin experience at Discovery Cove and said I had a “present” for her. I played it off like something she was waiting for a while. She said “Thank you so much but I was hoping for my ring” as a joke and then I had an opening to hand her the box. :slight_smile: Worked out well.
