| Yes, I really did! My girlfriend proposed to me. I submitted a photo on DA and wrote a nice blurb, so I'll copy and paste. I had NO idea this was coming. We talk about it all the time, but decided we'd get engaged next year because there's so much going on right now. I had actually planned on asking her on New Years Eve come January, but she beat me to it! A little summary of what happened: Jen arrived home and soon after she said she had to do something in her room, but I wasn't allowed to come in. She does this quite frequently (she's the romantic type). An hour or so later she told me to close my eyes and guided me to her room. When I opened my eyes the light was off but the room was lighted by 10+ candles she had bought and light. At my feet were rose petals leading to more rose petals that spelled out "I (heart) You". It was an actual heart instead of the word heart... Then there were rose petals on her bed and around the rest of the room and two roses crossed on her pillows (one white, one pink). Pink and white are my favourite rose colours. She gave me a huge bouquet of all my fave flowers, then she sat me down, got on one knee and told me how much she loves me, how she wants to spend the rest of her life with me and more good stuff. Then she pulled out the ring, took my hand, and asked me to marry her. It was really perfect. I couldn't have asked for more. The ring is a perfect fit! You'll notice it in the photo (left). Jen knows I hate wearing jewerly on my hands unless it's light and not bulky, so she got me a thin band with a princess cut diamond. I didn't really capture the ring very well, but it's really beautiful. Just what I wanted. So now I guess I have to tell my family that I'm bi-sexual and that I'm engaged to my best friend. Hm, that will go over well :P BTW, the picture is of some of the rose petals we put in a cute pink box we had. Picture:  Update: So since i posted this I have come out to my brother and told him Jen and I are engaged. I figured my brother would take it best as I've heard him many times say how he doesn't have a problem w/ gay people. I'm not sure how it went... maybe I expected, "wow, congrats!" but that's not what I got. I'm a little discouraged about coming out to the rest of my family now. I told him over msn because I'm a pussy. Anyway, this is the convo: (excuse the lack of punctuation and proper grammar) Me says: i have something to tell you but i don't want you to tell anyone else Brother says: ok...? Me says: promise Brother says: ok Me says: k so jen and I are a couple. maybe you knew, i think i overheard mom asking you about us one time Brother says: uh nope that was definately a mystery to me Me says: does that bother u? Brother says: not really Me says: r u surprised? Brother says: uhh Brother says: yes and no? Me says: what do you mean? Brother says: i dunno... but seriously... honestly, dont you think I have to write a sitcom about based on our family? Me says: well, i'm all for that, we're one weird ass family Brother says: exclaimation point Me says: and we're engaged Brother says: for the record I am straight as an arrow Me says: lol, well i didn't think you were bi/gay anyway Brother says: engaged... thats a step.... Brother says: dont take offence if I miss the wedding? Me says: hm, well it's not like we'd get married tomorrow, more like in a few years and why would u miss it? Brother says: um yea cause its just too weird? Me says: how is it weird? Brother says: comon... i mean comon Brother says: no, SERIOUSLY i mean, comon Brother says: no, really, HONESTLY Brother says: COMON Me says: i don't see how it's weird Brother says: are you for real? think of this from my perspective!!! Me says: well obviously a shocker right now because it's so new to you Me says: but once you pass the "wtf" stage, I think you'll think differently Brother says: that stage may be long Me says: do you not have any bi/gay friends/couple friends? Brother says: um no...... Me says: i think half of all my friends are either bi/gay Brother says: yea i think less than 1 of my friends are Me says: maybe they just haven't told you? Brother says: uhhh i dont know Brother says: i dont think so Me says: well i just thought you should know and i felt i could tell you first Brother says: so im the first to know this? Me says: in the family yes Brother says: hm Brother says: yea dont worry im not gonna spread that around Me says: but you understand that people are born this way.. like how [Sister] has depression Brother says: im not so sure about that Me says: Do you honestly think that someone would choose this lifestyle? Brother says: uhhhhh well whats stopping you from not chosing it? Me says: i was born that way? Brother says: well i jsut dont know what is true Me says: how can you not when it's been proven? Brother says: what do you mean proven Me says: that someone is born bi/gay Brother says: how has it been proven? Me says: do some research Brother says: cant you just summarize for me? Me says: there are structural differences in the brains of gay people Brother says: care to elaborate? Brother says: hey im going to play a game and then go to sleep Me says: ok Me says: ttyl Brother says: nightnight |

| Argh congrats! That's SO sweet the way you were proposed too..I wish you two all the happiness in the world. And the best way to tell your parents "Well..you know how you say your partner is your best friend, and that makes it a good marriage? Well, yeah, I'M MARRYING MINE! We decided to get the friends thing out of the way first:P". |

Quote jezebel Argh congrats! That's SO sweet the way you were proposed too..I wish you two all the happiness in the world. And the best way to tell your parents "Well..you know how you say your partner is your best friend, and that makes it a good marriage? Well, yeah, I'M MARRYING MINE! We decided to get the friends thing out of the way first:P". Thank you so much :) I'm not too worried about telling my mother since I'm pretty sure she already knows. She just got her engagement ring from my soon-to-be step-father so I'll just be like, "oh, let's compare engagement rings" and then she'll clue in since she thinks I've been pretty much been a loser for the past 3 years because I wasn't dating anyone (even though I was :P). Not to mention, she used to ask me practically daily if Jen was my girlfriend and even started referring to her as my girlfriend, but I was too scared to admit it to her. My dad, though... I don't know what he'll think. My brother and sister... well, we aren't that close, so if they do disapprove, it won't hurt me much. My grandparents will be disgusted, since they've told me point blank that if their daughter/grandaughter/son/grandson were gay they would never speak to them again. My friends all know, so at least that's taken care of!
Quote Carina Congratulations!!! <333 You haven't told your family yet? Good luck... Thank you <3 *needs the luck* hehe.
Quote Dana congratulations, i hope you 2 will be ending very happy together! Thanks :) We will! |

| awww, that's so great!!!!!!!!!!! *throws more petals at you two's feet* ^____^! wow, that is kinda scary, though, that you still haven't told your family, and finally... you are, when something THIS HUGE happens. it'll be a double shocker for them. ^`) |

28th April 2006 - 06:26 pm | |
| ^ haha, ya. Well, it will make it more 'real' to them. I know a lot of people who have come out and their parents just think it's a phase. Now that I'm engaged, they'll at least understand that it's true and this is who I really am. | ||

| Thanks Tifney, Angie, and Ester :) @ Ester: Depending if my family still accepts us (I'm sure they will), we'd want it to be my family and our close friends. We'd both wear wedding dresses though, since we're both femme dykes :P LOL. The reason why I say my family and not our families is because 2 years ago, 7 months into our relationship she told her dad that she was a lesbian and that I was her gf. He kicked her out of his house that day and she doesn't know where her real mother is. It's sad :( My family is her family now. |

I know :( I see him in town and I just want to ask him How... how he could do that to his own daughter. It is sad, but my dad has really stepped in, I love him for that :) Now I just need to get pregnant so our babies can date! hehe, jk :P @ Anna: *adopts you* :D *rocks you like a baby* haha. Gee, you're getting to big for momma to carry around these days *sigh* |

| Awww Kyla, that is so incredibly sweet! :) Really! I'm so happy for you. And this is the first time i've ever actually had someone tell me they were proposed to by a girl ( but i guess there was no way around that in this relationship ;D) ohh wowww... :O I'm so glad that she has your family to turn to when she needs someone. It sounds like you and her have an awesome relationship, and i wish you all the best :D |
