A Christmas Eve Proposal!

Why's she smiling so big? Does someone have a secret? Is someone's left hand being weighted down by a large piece of carbon?
Aunt D is gettin' hitched!!!
The best present our family could have received came on Christmas Eve during the present exchange at my in-laws. During a lull in the frantic present opening, Aunt D's longtime boyfriend, Uncle S, whipped out a pretty little sparkler and asked her to be his wife! I was in shock and started crying, Aunt D was bawling, and Taters was evening wiping away the tears. It was such a neat and very surreal moment.
And guess what? My camera was at home. Oh well, the wonderful feelings will forever be recorded in my heart. I'm so happy for them. No date yet - but we're super excited for the upcoming shindig!
Here's a pic of the married couple to be:

Congrats!!!

Aunt D should think twice about this along with Uncle S.
First Aunt D should wonder why he was so cheap as to buy her a ring for Christmas? Where was her real Christmas present. Was it because he didn't have any other idea about what to get her?
Second Uncle S. you are in trouble. What will you do next year to match or exceed what you did this year. A poem asking her would of been more appropriate this year and buy the ring later. Then next year you could of gotten her a waffle iron or something more realistic.
Just kidding congratulations. Marridge is a great instatution and I highly recommend it for loved ones.
