For over a year now, with knowledge of the Italy trip, Jeff and I have been speculating the possibility of Jon proposing on this trip. Really, there would be no better time or place to do it. Being the secretive mo-fo that Jon is, there was never a word about anything. No sharing of excitement with his brothers, no pictures of ring ideas. Nothing. All that was there was an inkling of hope. For if Jon were to pass on this opportunity, my advice to Lauren would be to break it off! I mean, they have only been dating since they were seven years old!
I wondered a bit where the possible proposal would take place, what city, in the middle of the trip, at the end, all that good stuff. My answer came much earlier than expected with an announcement email that Jon had popped the question on their first night in Italy. I guess that was a good decision as now, they have the rest of the trip to celebrate this momentous occasion (and her fabulous ring)!
Needless to say, it is a huge week for the family. And while giving my congratulations on a new baby yesterday, I give my congratulations to Lauren today, for she will be getting wonderful new sisters-in-law, and to Jon, for he will never, ever do better than Lauren. No, for real, congratulations guys. I'm so happy for the two of you! Enjoy your engagement honeymoon! (Jeff, why didn't we have one of those?)
