OHMYGOSH I'm Getting MARRIED!

I thought I had it all figured out. I thought for sure he was waiting till he'd finished writing up his PhD and submitted it before asking me. I was convinced he hadn't even spoken to my parents yet!

So when we went off to Karkloof Falls for a picnic yesterday I did not suspect a thing. I didn't see the champagne he snuck into the picnic basket. I didn't see the ring box he snuck out of the cubby hole and into his pocket when we got there. And when he got all serious and told me he'd brought me there for a reason, and then got up and pulled the box out of his pocket, my brain was like Aaaaaaaaaah! And then my mouth squeaked something super intelligent like, "Are you serious?! Right now?! Really?!" before I remembered to say the very important "Yes, of course!"
