Thanks, it was pretty exciting! She kind of thought that it might happen while he was over here for Christmas, but she was TOTALLY not expecting it then! She had to work on Sat. and then they went shopping for a little bit, and then went to get foot massages together.

After that they went by my parent to pick up a few things, (he is staying with my parents) and then they were going to come to our house and play with the Wii for a while. Instead, he led her out to the back yard, where earlier he had set up a ton of candles and flowers under the gazebo, and sat her down and began to play "their" song on the guitar and sing to her. He had written an extra verse, which included the proposal! She flipped out! The ring is BEAUTIFUL!!

The funniest part, she was so concerned because my parents were leaving (as planned) when they got there, and she said, "well maybe I should leave" (because they were going to be at the house alone for a little bit.) That is one of the "rules", and she didn't want to be there alone, lol! My mom was so flustered, she didn't know what to say, so she said "well, it's ok, it's just for a little bit, nobody will know!!!!" LOL!!!! Lana was SHOCKED! LOL!

How sweet of him!!! When's the wedding date?

My son informed me yesterday that he will NOT be marrying his girlfriend of three years - ever! "Don't even go there, mother. I am NEVER going to marry her." I'm glad he finally made up his mind. He wasn't saying that last week.

I take it your parents approve of the young man? Is he from Sweden?

The wedding is still quite a while from now, they are planning on the fall of 2011, no date yet. She has to complete her bachelors here to be able to continue her education there, and that has always been my requirement, she has to have at least a 4 year degree before I will sign off on a marriage.

Of course, they are old enough to do what ever they want, but I am very blessed to have a loving daughter who wants my approval! They have both taken their time with school, which I think is great, you don't get to be kid for long enough! I feel bad for him though, he has a four year Bible college degree that is pretty much worthless, so he has had to basically start over with his schooling.

Yes, they approve, apart from the Sweden issue. I don't think that they will ever be quite OK with that, but it is after all her life! I had to make my peace with it... of course I am also actively looking into all my options for eventually moving there. ;-) I am not going to spend the rest of my life on the other side of the world from my only child and eventual grandchildren! No way!

It's time to learn the language!

Since you have your own thread now, we need to know how they met!
