I asked her in front of the Cape May lighthouse. She said "yes"! This happened yesterday afternoon. I haven't called anybody -- mainly so we could spend the rest of our time in Cape May without spending half of it on the phone with family and friends. I hope you all understand. (Read: I hope you don't get bent out of shape.)
Long story short: We toured the lighthouse. I was hoping to pop the question outside, with a view of the lighthouse. As soon as we got outside, it started to sprinkle. I started to panic, thinking I was going to miss my chance. Then the rain stopped. I asked some guy to take a picture of us. He snapped one. Then I asked if he could take one more. (The second pic is the one shown here. The guy cut off the top of the lighthouse -- in fact, his composition was pretty poor. But how many people have a picture of the actual moment of their marriage proposal?)
It has been a crazy, wonderful, beautiful couple of days. We've been sitting on the balcony, sitting on the beach, swimming in the ocean, watching dolphins, eating lots of seafood, and spending lots of quality time together. Thus, the short posts.
Tomorrow T and I will be at a family reunion. So more posts will have to be of the catch-up variety. Sorry. If you get bored, you could always go to www.columbiatribune.com

So I guess I fall in the category of "super girly" because not only did I squeal when T told me but I got a "little verklempt" when I saw the picture. Congrats again! You two are like buttah.
Also...I get first post because I'm the only nerd who is online at 2am.
CONGRATULATIONS!!! Wow, this is so exciting! I'm elated for you both! Enjoy your time celebrating your engagement!
Mazel tav!
Congratulations, you two! Does this mean now I don't have to worry that Suh-Weet will say something to T to blow the surprise? I hope so. I wish you both well, and anticipate a trip back to MO to watch you make it official and all. Call me for availability, of course.
Much love to you both.

little brother,
true happiness can only come from within...but "Thanks" to you and T for sharing yours with us.
Congrats Walt and T. Glad you two are having a great time, but hurry back we miss you at the Tribune.

Oh! Oh! Congratulations!!
I squealed, too, but very quietly because Piper is asleep in the next room.
