Sorry ladies, I’m taken.

To all the girls I've loved before…. Yes, all two of you. I'm taken. At 6:10 PM, EST on the shore of Seven Seas Lagoon I proposed marriage to the love of my life, Katie Rebholz. I asked her on the the beach facing the Katie's Cove at The Grand Floridian Resort & Spa in Disney World. We've been dating for over 8 years. So needless to say she was expecting this. I have done my best to continuously taunt her about it and even faked it several times so when I really did it, it would be a surprise. I bought the diamond separate from the ring (since she wanted a Scott Kay designer ring) so I used the box I got from diamond.com to taunt her for a while. Today is her 27th birthday so I took her to Downtown Disney ("to see a man about an apple" since her favourite candy is an Apple coated in 80,000 calories) where the inept Disney cast members couldn't figure out how to core an apple. I did my very romantic thing of biting the core out of each quarter and spitting it on the ground directly in front of us. I then proceeded to try and wash the caramel off my hands with $3 bottle of water. After a little love-fest I went down on one knee and was immediately called for my bluff. We walked past the wedding pavilion and I told her I was thinking about proposing to her on top of Contemporary Resort. She said, "Why not right here on the beach?" So we went to the beach, got into a swing, talked a bit about things and started making out. I've been telling her that the ring won't be done until some time in January, so I asked her again if she would marry me. She said yes. I asked if it was ok that I didn't have a ring… "Honey, you know me, I'm good for it."… she said yes. I got down on one knee and asked her to marry me. She said yes. I pulled out the camera and gave it to her, sort of to shake on things and close the deal. She seemed very amused by this. Then I fumbled around a little bit and said "I'll make this better, I think I also have a receipt and a few quarters in here" as I tried to find the box. Finally I pulled out the diamond and asked again. She said yes.
