Congratulations to the both of you! What a sweet and tender engagement story. Wishing you a wonderful life together!

What a lovely story. Thank you for sharing it with us! Congratulations!

Congratulations, Kari - and the two of you are such a cute pair! So glad you have fun memories of this happy day. And let us help plan the wedding finery!

PERFECT. Congrats to you and B. I bet Lucy will the ring bearer. Much to love to you. xo

Oh, how lovely!! Many, many congratulations to the two of you!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

What a happy story. And I'm so happy for both of you

All the best to you!

Big happy congrats to you both!

Congratulations to you both!!! We (MY DH and I) are Disneyphiles and have spent many an anniversary at Disneyland and World in Fla.....The CMs often make big events really special. Again, Congratulations!

Awww! Congratulations Kari!!!!!

Congrats! What a great match!

Congratulations.

Haha! I thought you were already married. Good job!

Will you wed at Disney? My cousin did that. Pumpkin coach and kilts... pretty cool.

Lovely story and congratulations!

Thank you! We don't have any plans yet except that legally getting married will occur, and at least immediate family will be there. Beyond that, I don't know what we will do, but I don't think wedding at Disney is involved. We would be on a tight budget (like 1/10 or less what the typical average wedding budget is in the US) and will need to truly think about what to prioritize. I've given serious thought to a city hall ceremony and immediate family only dinner, though I'd like to have some extended family and friends involved if possible. I think a gown, let alone an expensive one, will not be in the cards. I'd far rather get a killer semi formal dress in a color I love that I could wear again. That would be really fun. B. And I will probably also get nice rings for each other. Will definitely update with questions and ideas after we think it through more fully.

Congratulations, and what a unique and beautiful ring!

Kari- Such happy news! Fun engagement story and great photos. Wishing you both every happiness.

Woo-hoo!!! So excited for you and B., Kari! Fabulous news and what a fun engagement story. Congratulations!!

What a great story Kari - congratulations to both of you!

Awesome! Congratulations-- how lovely of B. Your plans sound wonderful. The SO and I have talked about something similar, but I think he simply wants to invite too many people.

Oh, reading this was so much fun! You both love animals so much, of course you'd become engaged in mouse ears. Enjoy this time to the fullest!!

Aww, congratulations, Kari! What a great story. Your ring is beautiful and so special.
I love your ideas for a low-key wedding. My sister did something similar, including the family dinner at a restaurant and semi-formal dress (designer, 90% off!), and it was super fun and special.

So fabulous Kari - congratulations And I absolutely love your ring.

Oooooooh Kari!!!!! Big congrats to B. and you!!!! I had tears in my eyes and was smiling at the same time while reading about your magical Disney trip (how brilliant that the Disney folks helped you to celebrate your engagement in style). I wish you and B. (and Lucy) all the happiness in the world!!
