Officially Future-Mrs. Swirls is very happy. And I am now poor again.

Congrats!

Nice!

You expected anything else but a "yes"? Women just can't say no to Swirls.

Congrats!

No, there was basically a 0% chance of her saying no. We'd been looking at rings for months - she knew it was coming, but didn't know when. She expected it at either Christmas or this Spring.

In fact, we had gone looking at rings again literally the night before. I was supposed to spend the day working on remodeling the bathroom, and instead drove down to Syracuse and bought the ring she was (currently) raving about. She was quite floored/shocked/elated when I proposed that night - literally less than 24 hours after she was trying on that specific ring.

I did not. Was gonna buy a ring online because they're so much cheaper, but we decided we were better off getting one from a jewelry store where you can physically try the ring beforehand and make sure it sits the way you want, etc. We were afraid that most of the rings we found online that she really liked would sit too high for her to be comfortable with (she's a huge equestrian and was afraid she may lose it or have it get damaged at the barn).

For that same reason, she adamantly refused the possibility of getting a huge center stone. That alone made her a winner.

You should've caught her off-guard more by jumping out from behind the shower curtain while she was pooping. Bonus points if you do it with a hockey mask on.

Anyway, congrats.

Hence, the power of high ABV gallon jugs of good beer.

Congrats Swirls.

Good job.

Condolences.
