The title says it all, ladies and gentlemen...



Rory (My fiance) and I had been talking about getting engaged for quite some time. I also had a sneaky suspicion that he went ring shopping. However, when we traveled to St. Joseph, Michigan for the weekend I really did not expect him to propose there. We were going to watch the fireworks on the beach with his family and then spend the next day visiting our favorite wineries and vineyards and possibly grabbing a burger from The Buck (one of our favorite food places in town) On the fourth of July, we arrived at his parents and decided we would run to 12 Corners Vineyards while we were waiting for Rory's sister, brother-in-law and nephews to get in from Illinois.



We loved 12 Corners as always (and might have bought a few too many bottles of our favorite wines) when we were walking back to our car we spotted a little gazebo that I hadn't noticed before, and since we were thinking of the vineyards for our wedding location, we decided to go check it out.



We got out to the gazebo, it was super cute, and Rory asked me to sit down. This is when the lightbulb went off...WAS HE GOING TO PROPOSE?!?!



YES.



He got down on one knee and used my full name (Victoria) instead of Tori. This meant business. And asked me to marry him. He opened up the ring box and the ring was so stunning. I fell in love all over again with him and I found a new love for this majestic, glimering ring inside of the box. It fit perfectly. Little did I know he took one of my rings from home to Jared's the Jewelry store and got the size I needed. He's a smart guy.



So my proposal consisted of the most special man in the entire world, wine, and a beautiful ring. What more could a girl ask for?
