WE'RE ENGAGED!!!

It was a rainy day here in SF. I fell asleep in the car thinking that we're going shopping, but when I woke up we were parked at Coit Tower. I was a little dazed and very confused. Edwin told me that he wanted to see the Parrots of Telegraph Hill in the Filbert Gardens. (We had just seen this documentary about wild parrots that fly around in SF.) I'm like, "In the rain? Can't we look for them when the weather is nicer? But OK, whatever."

We get to a landing and Edwin starts telling me how much he loves me, and I don't remember much more because I think that's when I realized what was happening. So he proposes, I say yes, and he pulls out a ring box. As he's openning the box, the ring pops out and there's a look of horror on Edwin's face. For those of you who have never heard of/seen the Filbert Gardens, there are a series of wooden and brick stairs embedded in LOTS of foliage. So, there was a distinct possibility of losing the ring in a very wooded area.

Luckily, it didn't roll and it was right at our feet. Above is a picture of us right after the proposal. (Notice the ring!)

We'll post updates to this blog when we have more details, but we're thinking of having the wedding in October in San Francisco. In the meantime, here's a close-up of the ring.
