I’m engaged!
Yep, looks like I’m getting hitched.
On Friday, February 17 I proposed to Markus – and he said yes! 
On Friday evening, after dinner, I set the scene in the kitchen with some fancy ice-cream desserts and lit candles. On his side of the table I placed a stuffed bunny holding a heart and a handwritten love letter with reasons why I love him. He sat down, read it and then I took out the box with the rings, dropped on one knee and asked him to marry me.
I knew he would say yes as we’ve been talking about it for years, but I was still a nervous wreck! I’m so glad I decided to do it at home, just him and me and not in public somewhere 
FYI: Markus wants me to make it perfectly clear that he did NOT cry. No, no he didn’t.
Ok, maybe one manly tear, but no more. Honest.

Congratulations!! I’ve been told I’m never allowed to ask my boyfriend to marry me because he will say no. I’m glad your guy is not like mine.

That’s too bad
Since day one Markus has said that he shouldn’t have to propose just because he’s a man. “That’s pretty sexist, isn’t it?”

Aaagh!!!!!!!!! I think I am going to start bawling. Congrats to the both of you. Wish I was there to give you both hugs, lol. So you two consider yourself hugged & squeezed to death. This made my day, Karin. Know it isn’t me, but you are so happy, that you make me happy with it.
