So completely THRILLED!

Rosie is engaged! It just happened today! And she called me right away. It was so cute! :D They had gone out together today, and he had picked out a Celtic ring that she had previously mentioned she liked. (It had a really cute story that I'll write about another time.) They went out for dinner, and he went to the washroom, but he was taking a long time. He came back, and Rosie was thinking that he was going to propose, especially since they had talked about it a few days ago and she knew that he had asked her parents' permission. And also, he had a bulge in his pocket, which she figured was the ring! And it was. But he knew she was figuring it out, and so he secretly swapped the ring for his keys and some candy, so when she asked, he could show her the ring wasn't there. So, she was disappointed that he didn't propose. But they went home, and before they went in, he said something like, "I want to build a home with you" or something, and got down on one knee and asked her! Oh, it's so exciting. She and her (I was about to write boyfriend, but he's not anymore!) FIANCÉ Adam are thinking of getting married in October!
Rosie and some of her bridesmaids are tentatively thinking to meet up in the coming week to talk preliminary stuff, and look at dresses (the best part, of course). She is thinking of asking her sister to use her wedding dress and alter it a bit, because her sister once said that would be okay. She's also at the moment thinking of a burgandy colour scheme since it's a fall wedding. She also has 7 bridesmaids in mind, including Abbey-Shae and Leigha (and of course myself). Her other bridesmaids include her sister Lila, a mutual friend Marion, her friend Lacey, and another friend Jennifer.
*Phone rings and Marian takes a break from writing this*
Oh my GOODNESS. Guess who just phoned???? Shell! And GUESS WHAT. SHE'S ENGAGED. This is crazy!!! I'm sooo sooo sooo thrilled for both of them! For the friends who personally know Shell, don't go spreading it around quite yet. She said I can post it here, but there are still a few people she wants to personally tell and whatnot. It sounded so romantic, her proposal. Frank Austen brought her to where they first met, at my church, and walked around the path that is nearby, talking about different memories. And then he asked! Her ring is GORGEOUS. I'll post it later. So she and Frank Austen are thinking right now April or May for the wedding. She is also thinking of a dark red colour scheme! Love it! So happy for them!!!!
*Marian takes a break from writing for a minute and checks her Facebook*
THIS IS JUST GETTING TO BE TOO MUCH. A good friend of mine who lives in another country JUST posted pictures of her engagement! This is literally crazy. I'm not making this up! It looks like it happened in a restaurant, from the pictures. This girl I know and her fiancé then participated in an illustration at their church to announce their engagement. He offered her a cup to drink from, and she drank from it, signifying her acceptance. Then he broke the glass, signifying that he will never offer the cup to anyone else again. Cute, isn't it? The pictures are so cute.
IS THERE SOMETHING IN THE WATER, THOUGH?!?!?!?! Seriously!!!!
