21 months, 2 weeks and 2 days after that fateful meeting at the Crows Nest Hotel, Jonathan and Gloria became engaged!
The very romantic leading man in our story proposed on bended knee during our NYC trip, on the evening of 4 November 2009, at the top of the Empire State Building. The clueless heroine was quite surprised and, for the first time in her life, was left speechless.
Although we had purchased the ring together in NYC earlier in our trip, and picked up the ring earlier that day, Jonathan had made a few comments which led Gloria to believe he would not be proposing for some time. To say the least, Gloria was a little disappointed at the time that they would not become engaged in NYC, but was excited by the idea that he could propose to her in front of her family on her birthday in early December.
Imagine Gloria's surprise when Jonathan did in fact propose that evening!
Both Jonathan and Gloria are now sporting stunning his and hers engagement rings. Jonathan's ring, Ross, is a Tungsten Carbide ring with rosewood inlay. Gloria's ring, Stella is an 18kt white gold ring with 3.5ct Tanzanite surrounded by lots and lots and lots of diamonds.
A date will be announced in the near future. We do have a date in mind, and we are now hoping that the venues are all available on that date. Stay tuned!
We have set a date!
