"Santa?"
Yes darling?
What do you want for Christmas this year?
"A million dollars."
You're going to have to make that yourself.
Hey guys, it's Sher and I'm with my fiancée!
What do you think about that word?
What do you think about me being able to call you my fiancée now instead of my boyfriend?
"Maybe if it had happened sooner, it would be more shocking."
Just because it's not shocking doesn't mean it's not special.
"Alright, I'll give you that."
Okay.
We're engaged!
And I thought it would be fun to film the engagement tag that I found through google.
And basically it's just...basically, it's just like a couples tag except for your engagement!
So some of the answers are going to be kind of obvious but I thought it would be fun to
film anyway since the majority of people watching this are probably just going to be our...family
and friends?
And in case you want to know how we got engaged, I thought it would be fun to film, so if you
want to watch us answer some questions about our engagement and the proposal and the ring
and all the interesting stuff about that, then let's get into the video!
So I found 10 questions that...or actually 9 questions.
1.
"How old were you when you got engaged?"
Well, our ages are kind of ambiguous on here, so 20's?
"Is it?
Is it ambiguous?
I mean you look 12 and I look 40, so."
Um, I'm 23, how old are you?
"28."
He's 23.
"Yeah."
You're turning 24, but he's only 23 right now.
"Question #2.
"Do you remember the date?"
"November 23rd, 2018".
I'm really bad at dates.
I'm really bad at remembering things in general.
"It was less than 4 weeks ago."
Yes, it was.
So it was just Christmas and the background is still going to be the tree but this is
definitely going to go up after Christmas because I'm a horrible editor.
I said the Christmas tree because we got this Christmas ornament with the date on it, so
in case I ever do forget it, it's on an ornament!
So this is our Christmas ornament marking the date of our proposal, it has our names
and I really liked this one because it kind of matches my actual ring, like the shape
of the ring.
This was another ornament that we got and it's also of like, a proposal scene.
That's supposed to be Ryan and then the blonde girl is supposed to be me, which doesn't fit
but it will work.
Close enough!
That's our other little Christmas ornament that we got to mark our proposal.
Wow, so happy to see everyone.
"If this was the rest of the video.."
If this was the rest of the video, how many people would click off?
"About the same amount of people that were already watching."
That were clicked on?
"Yeah.
So zero."
Okay, question #3.
"Were you surprised?"
Oh, I guess this is just supposed to be for the woman in the classic scenario because
of course the woman can't propose to the man.
Um, I'm just kidding, he did propose to me, but.
Here's the thing, I knew it was coming but I did not know exactly when so I was technically
surprised but not by the event, more like when it happened.
I knew that at some point on this trip, I was going to get proposed to, but he kind
of left it up in the air about when he was actually going to do it.
We got engaged on a cruise ship, we got together on a cruise ship too ironically, like 5 years
ago on our senior trip.
I thought that he would pick one of the formal nights.
If you've ever been on a cruise then you know they have a couple nights where you dress
up really nice to go to dinner, and I thought for sure he has to ask me on a night when
we're all dressed up, when I look decent, when I've spent like 2 hours getting ready,
I really thought it was going to be on one of those nights, and so the whole week he
kind of kept, like joking with me about when it as going to be, so once again, if you've
ever been on a cruise, you know that they have a bunch of entertainment things, like
they have entertainment shows and then your waiters and waitresses at dinner come out
and sing songs and dance and it's you know, a lot of entertainment.
I kept making jokes to him, like, hey are you going to propose right now?
Because you know, like the waiters and waitresses would come up to the dinner table and dance
and sing and stuff and we would kind look at each other and I'd be like.."Is this
how you propose?"
And then I think one night I asked, is the ring going to be hidden in a piece of food
or something?
Like, like how is this going to go down?
And he would kind of joke with me and let me think it was going to happen but I knew
in the back of my mind, like, this isn't it.
So anyway, I really thought it was going to be on one of the formal nights and then when
all the formal nights passed, then I kind of thought well, maybe it will be on an actual
beach somewhere.
Like when we're docked and like, when we're in one of the ports.
We went to a couple of private beaches while we were on the cruise and I started thinking
maybe it was going to happen on one of those, but then it still didn't happen and so at
this point, we're getting to the last two days of the trip and I'm starting to think,
like, maybe it's not going to happen, maybe he's not feeling it, and maybe he's not going
to ask me, like, this week.
We had been having like, electrical lighting issues in the room the whole week and I had
left the room, this was in the evening time, um, no makeup, messy hair, sweatpants, did
not look cute, at all.
And I had left the room to go get some fruit or something at the dinner bar and I had come
back and he acted like we were having light issues again when I opened the door, my hands
are completely full, I had like a huge plate of fruit and so I walk in and he's like "Hey
babe, sorry you can't see anything, we're having lighting issues again and I'm going
to have to call them and have them come up and fix it."
So I was like, oh okay, so I put the food down and then the lights come on, shockingly,
they weren't even, there was nothing wrong with them in the first place and the lights
come on and the ring box is sitting open on the bed and one of the little animal swans
that they make out of the towels was sitting on the bed too, and he had put an envelope
on the ring box and it was like, "This one's for real."
Since he had been jokingly proposing to me all week.
And another fake proposal that he did was when we went to one of the last private beaches
that we went to, he wrote in the sand "Will you marry me?"
And I snuck up on him and I was like, I see what you're doing, like you're not sneaky
at all, I see exactly what you're writing and I know this isn't the real proposal,
so then he wrote it on the card when he actually did propose to me, "Hey, this is the real
one."
He got it on camera, but then I got super emotional so he put the camera down.
I will put some clips of the proposal and..um, what are you doing?
I'll put some clips of the proposal in here, I probably won't put it all in here, like
I'm not going to put in the entire clip of where I'm crying my eyes out or anything like
that but I will put in where I walk into the room and he's like "Hey, the lights are off."
No lights?
"No, we're having a power problem again.
Can you see?"
No.
"I can't either."
"So, the power seems to have come back on.
I see Mr. Swan made his way back over there."
This one's for real.
On the back of a "From Your Shopping Experts Page."
"Yes."
Okay.
"There was a lack of paper."
Okay.
So, I don't normally consider myself to be a super emotional person.
"Yeahhh, that's a lie, that's a lie."
Yeah, I know, whatever, okay, that might be a lie but like, I never thought I was going
to be one of those girls who had the typical...this reaction, everybody's seen it.
Act like you proposed to me.
"Hey, will you marry me?"
Whaaaat?!
Really?!
Like, you want to marry me?
Okay!"
I never thought I was going to be one of those people who had that like, super stereotypical
reaction but I totally was, did not break any stereotypes in that respect, I freaked
out even though I was expecting it and cried for 20 minutes and it's on video and it's
hysterical, like I'm hysterical in it and then it's funny also.
Even though I was happy, but I could not stop crying for like 30 minutes, like it was crazy.
I think that was, wait, what was the question?
"Were you surprised" Yes and no, there's the answer, yes and no.
I feel like I'm the only one saying anything.
I thought this was going to be a tag that you could be a part of too, and then the next
one was "How did it happen?"
"Wow, so she's already addressed that."
Oh my gosh, okay well that's how it happened too.
#5.
"What does your ring look like?"
I want to hear your take on how we picked, on how you picked a ring, because we looked
at rings but I did not know what it was going to look like in the end so explain.
"We looked at different rings, we looked at different cuts, and we..well, I completely
had the wrong impression of what she wanted, like if we would have just not looked at all
and I would have just went and bought something, it would in no way look like the ring that
she has today, it would be something completely different, so we did look a few times."
Tell the story about how we went to see that one ring and it was like $30,000 and I had
to talk you out of getting it.
"Well, yeah, that happened."
I do have to get it resized so if it looks like it's loose that's because it is.
It's like an oval cut, right?
"Yes."
This is an oval, yeah, so it's like an oval cut with um, little tiny diamonds around a
big diamond, wow, so descriptive, right?
And then the band is like, really detailed with diamonds too.
Like the front kind of raises a little bit and underneath the raise, there's little details
too.
"Who was the first person you told?"
Who was the first person we told?
Well, we had a lot of people know ahead of time that it was going to happen but nobody
knew when, so the whole week, he told me afterwards that he'd been getting messages from everyone
in his family and my family, like, "Hey, did you ask yet?
Did she say yes?"
"I would say either, my, um, either my sister or…
Somebody in my family was probably the first to know."
We kind of waited until we got back to tell everyone else.
"Yeah."
Because there's no cell phone service, there's no internet service, like you're completely
cut off almost, so that's why nobody really knew until we got back.
"How long were you engaged?"
What is this, for somebody who's been divorced, like what kind of tag is this?
"We are currently engaged so the past tense is not appropriate, but, um."
Right.
"A month?"
Yeah, we've only been engaged like a month.
I feel like this if for couples who've already been married for a long time but regardless
I'm going to try to answer.
"If you knew then what you know now, what would you have done differently during your
engagement?"
"I mean, just talking about what we are going to do with our engagement, um."
Yeah, which by the way, it's going to be for a long time so to everyone that's been asking
me for a date, there isn't one.
"Yeah."
There isn't one.
"There's no date.
It's not one of those, we got engaged and two months later we'll see you at the hitching
place."
Right, it's not like that at all.
"No, that's one thing that we're going to do that I think we will both be happy that
we did was that was we waited a long time in between each phase before we moved on to
the next one, so."
Yeah, that's something that we talked about because we've been together for over 5 years
and I feel like everyone starts developing expectations of where they think your relationship
should go, so that's a completely different video so I'm not going to go too far into
that but people start like, asking questions, like "When is he going to propose?"
Like, people start asking that really early on in relationships nowadays.
Like, we knew we just wanted to date for a long time and then we knew we wanted to be
engaged for a long time so there's no real rush on the whole wedding planning thing,
like I just don't see, like what's the point of rushing when I'm not going anywhere and
hopefully he's not going anywhere?
Are you going anywhere?
"Maybe."
Are you going somewhere?
Yeah, there's no, like there's no reason to rush it, so.
"What advice would you give engaged couples today?"
That kind of goes back into what I just said, I would give this advice to couples dating
in general and not just people who are engaged, but don't rush into something if you don't
have to.
"That would be my recommendation, enjoy the time between the two of you because you're
going to have a long time to you know, the family thing, and everything else if that's
what you're wanting to do."
Build a family.
"Yeah, so my recommendation would be enjoy each other and don't, and don't be in a
hurry."
It doesn't need, like there's not a time stamp on it, like this is the date that this needs
to happen by and this is the age I need to be married by and this is the age we need
to have kids by, I just want to enjoy what we have and its super relaxed and comfortable
and I love that about our relationship and so I would like to carry that into the engagement/marriage
process.
So yeah, that would be the advice that I have to people, is don't rush things if you, you
know, don't want to.
Don't feel obligated by people, don't feel pressured or obligated to stick to certain
timelines just because of your age, that's what I would say.
Everything happens differently for everybody.
That's all the questions!
I think that I'm the one who mainly talked throughout this video, of course.
That's how we got engaged, and that's how he proposed, and that's the ring, and
that's our plans for the future!
We have a couple other videos together, I will link those in the description box below
and put some at the end of this video if you want to check those out.
Stay tuned for whenever we do start planning our wedding, there's going to be a bunch of
wedding-related videos, I'm sure.
"Titles such as..."
Titles such as..
"How Not To Have A Breakdown Dealing With Your Mother-In-Law."
What?
Wait, which, which mother-in-law?
"You, dealing with my, my mom."
Oh, well I was going to say you dealing with my mom.
"Well, they could probably both be a video, but."
Our moms are probably going to come together and like, join forces and they're just going
to have the whole wedding planned behind our backs.
"Not both our moms, probably just the one."
Mine.
"Probably, no, no."
What color flowers?
I said lavender, not purple!
I said lavender!
"Tuning Out Family Members, Episode 2."
What was Episode 1?
This?
Yeahhh, so I, mmm, there's going to be some wedding-related videos in the future, I, our
wedding is going to be one unique event.
"And that's why we're putting the engagement on for as long as we are!"
