How this was kept a secret will go down in
history, considering the number of people who knew and somehow
did not leak it to Amanda. After being a couple for over 3
years, Nick was finally able to provide a ring that met Nick’s
desires for a ring to give Amanda.
Over the course of several weeks, Nick searched for the ring and
found what he considered to be the perfect ring. On August 4th,
2007 Nick was able to pick up the ring. He used the excuse he
had to pick up some stuff for work (which he really did have to
do) to sneak out and get it.
Originally he had this grand idea of proposing in Charleston, SC
or Savannah, GA a few weeks later. Instead he just walked inside
their apartment and told her he had a surprise for her. He
couldn’t wait…he was too excited!!
She
of course timidly asked what it was. She was a little scared
based on some past surprises, so Nick pulled the ring out and
showed it to her. She was speechless and asked if it was for
real since there was a running joke of QVC and coke bottle
glass. Nick said yes and proceeded to ask for her hand in
marriage. |
