So .. Thursday night NE and I had our belated gift exchange. Let's just say ... it was worth the wait. 
He waited until he'd gotten all his gifts (my mom had sent one for him too) and then he gave me a box to open.
So .. I open the box, and this was inside of it:
A Russian Nesting doll. I thought it was very beautiful and started opening each layer. Layer after layer after layer. 
Then .... when I was close to the end of it, I saw this:
Then NE got down on one knee and asked me to marry him.
Now I guess I should call him Mr. FT

And I think Miss Manners says wish the bride Good Luck and the groom congratulations. The thought being the groom won the prize and the bride has to deal with the groom. 😀
So, good luck and here's to many happy years!❤️💍

AR - I know! Thanks
PS - Actually I was surprised. We'd been talking about it for awhile, discussing who we might invite if it happened, he'd asked me about what kind of ring I might like, and then there was radio silence. Until about a week or so ago when he asked me if I would want to change my name. That made me wonder, but I definitely was not expecting it.
