    Complete surprise as to when he actually proposed. I knew it would happen soon from the ring related questions but I didn't expect it when he popped the question.

    Under—our engagement will be 10 months. I would have made it much shorter if that were possible! I’m so ready for October to be here!!

    We got engaged and broke up but now we’re just skipping to getting married. He did not re ask me. We will be very much under the 14 month mark. 4 months this time around.
