Cheril: I had all of this romantic, poetic stuff to say and forgot every single word when it was 'time.' I did, however, have a greeting card with personal "welcome to the family" messages from my siblings as well as a cake from Monica's favorite hard-to-get-to-on-public-transportation-bakery and of course the ring.
Monica: I was very surprised. I would have never thought Cheril would have proposed to me in that way, on that night...or that she would even have it in her to call my step-father and actually ask for my hand, but she did. :)
Cheril: I was in love, and truth be told, I knew I wanted to spend the rest of my life with Monica after the first six months of dating. That is when I found myself in the diamond district looking for rings and picking one out. To be sure I wasn't rushing though, I waited another year before popping the question.
