When we got to my house, he said that he had something else for me. He
opened his trunk and there was a huge box that was wrapped up
beautifully. We go inside the house and I open the gift. Inside was the
hubcap, which I loved. My hubcap had broken in the fall, and replacing
it was not high on my priority list. I had mentioned that I should get
one, but that was it. He offered to put it on for me and I was so
excited that we went out to the driveway to put it on. He gets on his
hands and knees and starts putting it on, but it won't fit. Mind you,
he's in a suit and tie, and there he is on the ground. He asks me if I
hit a curb because it won't go in. I tell him that I could do it the
next morning, but he was very determined. He takes the hubcap off and
inspects it. He nonchalantly removes something from behind the hubcap,
and mutters that that might be what's keeping the hubcap from going in.
Sure enough the hubcap goes in. He then just looked at me and pulls the
ring out and says, "Well, since I'm already on my knee, will you marry
me?"
Apparently, he had gone to my house beforehand to ask my dad for my
hand. My parents already knew he was going to do this. He purposefully
chose the "bad" gifts to create a distraction.

Thanks everyone for the well wishes. Sorry I haven't been able to
reply, I was away at a state meet for speech.
Like I said, we went to dinner w/ my family, and he kept insisting that
I open the gift bag. So you know, he likes to bowl, and we had gone
bowling last Sunday. I haven't been bowling in 10 yrs. but it was
something he really wanted to do. The gift bag was handed to me and I
saw the tissue paper which said Dexter, then I smelled the leather. I
didn't even pull the shoes out, and I just started laughing, because I
don't bowl, and they were *white* bowling shoes. My family laughed
because they knew that this was not something that I normally get.
After dinner, we went out for a drink, and he kept on asking if I loved
the shoes. I didn't want seem like an ingrate, but I also didn't want
to lie to him either. So I said that I appreciate how he wants to
include me in his life, and I loved the thought of that. Diplomatic,
huh? He seemed disappointed that I didn't love them, and asked if there
was something he could do to make me happy. I told him to exchange them
for black ones since black was more me.

The ring is absolutely beautiful. The center diamond is a princess cut
that's bit over a carat. There are two smaller radiant style diamonds
on each side. It's similar to the first ring here
http://makeashorterlink.com/?F33943D9A without the filigree work on the
side.
We haven't set a date yet and we're aiming for a small wedding.
