how it happened

check out nate's blog for his version, here's mine:

we'd been ring shopping and talking about getting married, but couldn't seem to find a ring we liked (i developed very strong opinions on rings and got pretty pick in just a few weeks!) so with all of that going on, we headed to daufuskie island this past weekend for the wedding of a friend of nate's. it was a beautiful island just off of hilton head, only accessible by ferry. saturday we were hanging out on the beach and nate and i were about to walk down to find dolphins :) he walked up and said "i brought scrabble in case you want to play." to which i responded "we're going for a walk! why would we play scrabble?" so he opened up the scrabble board and it said "i love you, will you marry me" and i was shocked since i didn't even think there was a ring and he had a little jewelry box in his hand. so after i recovered from shock i said "of course i will!" turn out the ring was his nana's ring and is very beautiful. shortly thereafter, we ran down the beach to tell nate's parents and call mine :) so that's the story :)
