Saying “Yes”
Mickey (my husband) caught me completely by surprise when he proposed a few days before my December birthday. I had jewelry box—but that’s exactly what it was. So there, in our first apartment together, Mickey took the ring from me and got down on one knee. (Seven years later, it would be my turn to surprise Mickey in that very same spot when I told him I was expecting our first baby—coincidentally due in December.) Two weeks later, when I finally came down from the high of being engaged, I quickly realized there was a wedding to be planned and I had no idea where to start. Sound familiar?
