After that huge shock of the proposal I felt shaken,. I really felt like I had just been in a car accident or something. I had serious adrenalin going and was a hot mess. I had no idea it was coming and it was a major shock to the system. Turns out a few people knew it was coming. My fiance had consulted our neighbor about a good jewelry store and my mom had been called while at the store to confirm it was a good diamond. People at his work also knew it was happening. Some people who didn't know were his parents and since it was my birthday we had already made plans to have dinner with them that night.
About 15 minutes later we were in the car on our way to the dinner with his parents. I remember sitting there in the car taking deep breaths and trying to look like I hadn't been crying. We met with them and when we got to our table we revealed the big surprise. They weren't quite as shocked as I was but I do remember his dad jumping out of his seat and pulling us out of the booth for hugs. He then told our waitress and sufficiently embarrassed me. He took this picture of us shortly after.
So that's the whole story. It was then time to start planning a wedding. I was actually in a bit of denial at first. I wanted to soak up the engagement a little bit before I started planning. Eventually people start asking you so many questions about it that you have to start planning.
What did you do after he popped the question? Did you immediately start planning or give it some time to sink in?
