Congratulation DebUA1K and Marc!
 

The lovely DebUA1K is now smiling a little bit more than usual. That's because she got a special surprise in California this past week... her boyfriend Marc PROPOSED!

A stunned and happy Deb accepted. :)

It was a beautiful and romantic proposal over dinner, and I was lucky to be there as it happened.

No wedding date has been set yet but I'm sure it will be soon.

Congratulations Deb and Marc! OK Everyone! Let's start by sending all our support and friendship! (and CHEERS & MEOWS from the CATS and me!)

Deb: I know Marc signed up for Flyertalk but I forgot his handle!

Congratulations Deb ^ The boilerdogs are barking and yapping in celebration :D

Congratulations Deb and Marc.

Thanks Catman for posting and thanks everyone else! I am very excited. Marc is a great guy and I am constantly amazed at how well we get along and how fast this has moved! We are planning to take our time in actually getting married. It will probably be next summer some time. In the meantime, there is alot to do. Ring shopping is at the top of the list. Anyone know how to earn miles on the purchase? (Other than the miles for using a miles earning credit card)

I have to concur with Catman that the way he asked was very romantic. He had a bracelet made in Disneyland that said "will you marry me". At dinner (in the most romantic restaurant in Disneyland) he handed me the bag and told me that this was a surprise he bought for me. When I took put the bracelet on, I was reading it and I was actually speechless. (those of you that know me, know how rare that is lol). Premex described my acceptance of the proposal as "a very soft uh-huh". The rest of the dinner was a blur to me. My heart is still racing.

Congratulations Deb!!!

BEST WISHES DEB :) and Congratulations to Marc! ;)

Wow! My best wishes to both of you!

Congratulations & best wishes!!!!

Congratulations, to another FTer readying to tie the knot. (Don't overlook the special bonus miles UA offers for home mortgage financing if that's a needed service!

Happy Happy Deb!! Cheers. Sharon

Congratulations and best wishes for many happy years!

As for your question, this is the official FT thread on the topic. (You knew there had to be one, right?) It has lots of other diamond-buying advice, too.

CONGRATALUATIONS!!!!!!
You both do indeed make an AWESOME couple!!!!

Congrats!!! ^

Not having yet met your intended, I only hope that Marc is worthy of you, Deb! :)

OBTW, just 2.5 months ago, you mentioned playing an April Fool's joke on your daughter(s) in which Marc (supposedly) proposed to you. Seems like this time, it is no joke!!! ;)

Wishing you both every happiness!!! ^
