My 26 yr old dd has been dating the same guy for a little over 3 years. He called my dh and I this week to ask for our blessing as he plans to propose to her this Friday. She is going to be thrilled!! She lives 11 hours away and already has a trip planned to come home on Saturday so his timing is really good. Now when everyone asks her (and I mean everyone!) if they are engaged yet she can say, "YES!".
Now....I need to lose weight for a wedding!!!!
UPDATE-- First of all, thank you all so much for your well wishes! I appreciate each one of them.
My dd left to go back "home" this morning. It's always very sad to say goodbye. I don't think I will ever get used to it. That said, we had a fabulous week. She was quite happy to show off her engagement ring. They have decided on a short engagement--10 weeks--so we went into full wedding mode. She found a dress. We booked a venue and accomplished as much planning as possible in a weeks time and had a blast doing it. Her wedding is going to be a destination wedding with less than 50 people invited.
It's going to be a crazy 10 weeks. I am finishing my degree by taking 17 credit hours, working full time and, now, planning a wedding. Sleep is over-rated!

Congratulations!!! We had to keep that secret, on vacation, for 6 days!! It was HARD, but kind of fun at the same time. But we managed, and she never suspected.

Congrats! We had to keep that secret for almost 3 months! DD's Fiancé talked to us in late September last year and didn't ask her until Christmas Eve! We are planning a wedding too for 10/10/15. I need to get on the diet band wagon too - want to be diet buddies?

What a wonderful time! How exciting! It sounds like you have a good relationship with your future SIL. Count your blessings, that is a special thing. Can't wait to hear how he does it, and about all the upcoming plans! You sound like me - first thing that comes to my mind when I hear of a huge event is, "how much weight can I lose before then?" Just be sure to keep yourself HEALTHY, you'll need all your energy for the upcoming months.
