It was totally a surprise. He did good, the sneaky little bastard.
Here's the story, since Speedy apparently doesn't want to type it all up...
It was on Black Friday. He had planned to go out shopping that day alone for the ring, but I ended up going with him, which threw a monkey wrench in his plans. So he sent me to Barnes & Noble with this super long bullshit list while he supposedly went to another store to tackle a list of stuff, and was going to meet me back at the bookstore. So while I was hunting around for stuff that apparently didn't even exist, he went and bought the ring. We'd looked at it earlier in the week and had picked it out as being the one I'd want. After we left the bookstore, I told him I wanted to go into the other jewelry store and look at theirs. So we did, and he nearly freaked out, because he thought I liked the one there better than the one he'd just bought and was afraid he'd have to go return it and then buy this one, etc. So anywho... after we leave the store, we go to my favorite little sushi place for lunch. While we're eating, we're talking about the rings and he asks me which one I liked better. When I told him the one we had first looked at, he said "Well that's good..." and pulls it out of his jacket pocket, sets the box down in front of me on the table, opens it and asks if I'll marry him.
I was speechless. I just smiled and kissed him and cried.
