Dec 3
Sorry it took so long to publish the details 
I only had 2 days of class last week but my teachers still managed to schedule 2 exams and a project. The rest of the week I was busy showing off the ring to Will’s massive family and gaining 5 pounds (literally) from Thanksgiving dinners within hours of each other 
Anyways…
How It Happened
I knew it was coming. Not only have Will and I been dating for 6 years but also Will made the mistake of telling me the ring was ready 
I didn’t know the exact day, however.
Saturday night (Nov. 22nd) Will took me to a fancy local restaurant for dinner. After eating we went back to his place. As usual, both of us immediately picked up our computers. A few minutes later Will told me to check my Facebook wall. He had posted a link to ilovesidney.net — a domain he purchased for his proposal 
He then kneeled and presented me with my beautiful ring. My best friend said that “he knew the key to my heart was through the computer.” I answered “yes”, hugged and kissed him, then instructed him to hire a better webdesigner 
About the Ring
William had it custom made for me based on a design I picked out a few years ago. It’s GIA certified with a laser inscription (you can see it inside the stone under magnification!) Our jeweler Nick works solely from referrals, so if you’re looking for amazing diamonds at a great price I strongly recommend his services! 
Other Details
We’re having the ceremony on the beach in Destin, Florida. I had my heart set on May 16th, but many sites are already booked so we may have to push the wedding to June or August. I hope to meet the wedding coordinator and set a concrete date within the next 3 weeks (which means a trip to the beach soon!) I’m converting ilovesidney.net into our wedding website. I’ve already started brainstorming designs. My semester ends next Friday so I will be keeping everyone informed of the details!
P.S. — Thanks so much for all the sweet comments on Twitter and Flickr! And special thanks to Meggan, who mentioned me in a beautiful blog entry

Oh Bubs, what a beautiful way of proposing to you – with a web page! What a romantic story.
I am so happy for you, getting engaged is so wonderful, but getting married is the best thing of all. 
Your ring is gorgeous, I would have gone for something like it, but a bit smaller. I love white metals.

*MAJOR SQUEE* Man, both you and Melly get the cutest, geekiest proposals! I am so so happy for you!
I think it’s so great he bought a domain just for you. He must have know you’d eventually turn it into a wedding site. And yes, in agreement with everyone else… better web designer!

That is simply fabulous! What a wonderful idea, to propose like that. You have a great man! But seriously, am I going to be the flower girl or not? Don’t leave me hanging…!

That’s such a huge diamond ring; it must have cost him a bomb
And the proposal idea is so sweet! I have always loved it when a man put some serious thoughts into how to propose to the woman he loves, rather than just assuming she will get married to him since they have been together for a while.
Congrats and enjoy the wedding preparations! I am preparing for mine as well
